Abortion is Worse Than Child Rape
Quote:
Fabio Martínez Castilla, Archbishop of Tuxla Gutiérrez sparked some controversy over remarks made on Tuesday at a homily in the Metropolitan Cathedral of San Marcos, by claiming that "Qualitatively, abortion is much more serious than the rape of children by priests,"
Appointed Archbishop last May by then Pope Benedict XVI, Castilla went on to clarify that both abuse and abortion “quantitatively do much harm and deserve punishment.” He is a firm believer in the Church’s stance on contraceptives and condoms as “patches” to avoid responsibility.

Well, not quite. Child rape and baby murder abortion are equally evil in God's eyes.
Well, sorta. Rape is usually wrong, except in certain cases like Judges 21:10-12, Numbers 31 and Deuteronomy 21:10-11.
And abortion is usually wrong, except in certain cases like Hosea 13:16, Psalm 137:8-9, Numbers 31:15-18, Revelation 2:22-23, Ezekiel 9:5-7, 1 Samuel 15:3, Judges 18:27, Deuteronomy 2:34, Numbers 5:20-21.
There is the case of a woman losing her child after another man hits her when two men were fighting
We can infer that if the father cares and is angry about the woman aborting his child, it is up to him to meet out justice in that situation.
Exodus 20:22-25
22 If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished,
according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
23 And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
I hope this clears up that the Catholics are almost right on this issue.
