Another strong silent statement from Francis on abortion

With the recent videos documenting that Planned Parenthood not only murders human beings but then sells the body parts of those same murdered children to drug companies for research, one would think that there would be some sort of outcry from the papacy.  Maybe in normal times but with Francis nothing is heard.  Considering his upcoming visit to the United States of America it would be an opportune time lay down the law.  Recall in a September 2013 interview, Francis said, 'It is not necessary' for Catholic Church to focus on gay marriage, abortion and contraceptives, and many in the church are obsessed with 'small-minded rules'.  Then remember during his August 2014 trip to South Korea where the media told their viewership that Francis sent a strong silent anti-abortion message as he stopped to pray at an abortion memorial.  The problem is this was all spin.  If pausing for less than 10 seconds at a memorial is a strong statement then what is a weak statement?  Fast forward to May 2015 when the Vatican announced that 'missionaries of mercy' would be sent throughout the world by Francis during his Jubilee Year of Mercy to yes, absolve people from the sin of abortion.  Instead of condemning abortion and explaining how this evil is intrinsically connected to the evils of birth control, immodest dress, sodomy, and usury, we have Francis saying the greatest evils of our time are 'poverty, corruption and human trafficking'.


Will Francis' "missionaries of mercy" absolve 
the people in this video of their sins?
