Bologna priest compares abortion to mafia killings
The Local (Italy) ^ | 20 November 2017 | The Local (Italy)

An Italian priest has sparked outrage after apparently comparing lawmakers who have campaigned for abortion access in Italy to one of the country's most notorious mafia killers.

Bologna priest Don Francesco Piero was quoted by local paper Il Resto del Carlino as posting on his Facebook page: "Who has more innocent deaths on their conscience, Totò Riina or Emma Bonino?", referring to a mafia 'boss of bosses' who died last week and Bonino, a prominent campaigner for abortion rights.

He went on to say that "morally, there's no difference" between the two.

Riina, a mafia killer nicknamed 'The Beast' in reference to his cruelty, died of cancer on Friday. He had been serving 26 life sentences for ordering an estimated 150 murders, including those of anti-mafia judges Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, and a 13-year-old boy.

The Bologna priest will soon be found in the bologna aisle at their local Mafia deli.

How dare he remind us what "reproductive choice" really means.

One wonders among whom this outrage was sparked.

Why do you think your silly remark "fixed" anything (other than fixing in our minds the idea that you are stupid)?

Please explain how paying a hired killer to kill someone who inconveniences you is different from paying a hired killer to kill someone who inconveniences you. In the first case, we're talking about abortionists. In the second case, we're talking about mafia assassins. The priest is correct.

Easy, I agree with you about abortion as killing, and the priest is correct. I was simply commenting about how we pronounce Bologna.

Who gets to meet Bergoglio and exchange goo-goo eyes?

Emma Bonino. Killer of 10,000 babies.

Ten thousand is only the ones she killed with her own hands. She’s basically responsible for every abortion in Italy in the last forty years.

She’s had at least TWO meetings to exchange goo-goo eyes with Bergoglio.
