Fundamentalist and Evangelical Christians call themselves pro-life. There are many more Catholics who support women's rights to their Reproductive Health care coverage that includes affordable, effective contraceptives and abortions if and when those fail. Women do not belong to pro-lifers  who impose their punitive beliefs on all women through legislation. The Republican Majority for Choice, represents 70% of Pro-choice Republicans. The Pope empathizes with women who cannot obtain affordable contraceptives and safe, legal abortions when they need them. Unfortunately, radical Christian pro-lifers consider  pro-choice Catholics  not true Catholics. Women US. citizens born in this country according to the 14th Amendment are protected by the same Constitution you are. They do not belong to pro-life religious leaders or their followers. The Pope recognizes this and asks followers to  accept that Women are autonomous. Militant Christians are the obstacle to peace.
