BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Argentina on Wednesday became the largest nation in Latin America to legalize elective abortion, a triumph for a feminist movement that overcame a last-minute appeal by Pope Francis to his compatriots and could pave the way for similar actions across the socially conservative, heavily Roman Catholic region.

After a marathon 12-hour session, the country’s Senate passed the law after midnight by a comfortable 38-29 margin just two years after a similar initiative fell short in a cliffhanger vote.

The legislation, which President Alberto Fernández has vowed to sign into law in the coming days, guarantees abortion up to the 14th week of pregnancy and beyond that in cases of rape or when a woman’s health is at risk.

Just hours before the Senate session began Tuesday, the pope weighed in, tweeting: "The Son of God was born an outcast, in order to tell us that every outcast is a child of God. He came into the world as each child comes into the world, weak and vulnerable, so that we can learn to accept our weaknesses with tender love."

Once again, too little, too late with the crocodile tears; just as the Francis did with the Republic of Ireland's approval of abortion in 2018. The fashion pope is too preoccupied with global warming, illegals, pachamamas, homo acceptance, Holy Communion for adulterers and non-catholics, etc.

I hear he objected, not very loudly. Pope Pinko is too busy playing make-believe with controlling the climate of the planet.

This is a happy and momentous occasion for Pope Marx.

This is what happens when you depart from Torah. The Law of God is not a buffet where you pick and choose what appeals to your own thinking. Eventually you run out of spiritual capital. That time has come. Historical Christianity is virtually incapable of reversing this flow. Only a return to the Revelation of Messiah in the life of Yeshua will provide the power that destroys the very gates of hell, and that power is Torah.

During his insufferable papacy, the dictator pope has visited the following Latin American countries:

Brazil
Bolivia
Ecuador
Paraguay
Cuba
Mexico
Columbia
Chile
Peru
Panama

Of the above, he has only visited Castro's communist Cuba twice.

He hss avoided his homeland, Argentina, because he knows the negative reception he'll receive from the faithful Catholics there.

Are you a Christian or a Jew? If the former, do you reject the Bible?
