Unfortunately, Fr. Pavone's tactics are gross as well as delusional.  Pro-life means respecting humans born with disabilities, physical as well as mental, about being against total warfare [which could kill millions at a time], and is against slavery.  Fr. Pavone is not against slavery.  He believes he has the right to demand, in the name of God, that women must give birth if they are impregnated---no matter under what condition that pregnancy occurs.  He doesn't realize that this is an act of slavery.



If an individual does not have control over their bodies, their very lives for almost a year [not due to incarceration in prison for a crime], this is church-enforced slavery.  Abortion and how to perform it, was included in the Midrash tradition of Judaism, even in the 1st Century in Palestine.  Jesus knew about it, and did not condemn it.
