19. It's easy for you to say it...
I live in Costa Rica and a few months ago an 8 year old girl was raped and got pregnant. Well, common sense says an abortion should take place... but the Catholic Church was the first to say she shouldn't although therapeutic abortion is not illegal here and she would have probably qualified (all other abortions are illegal). The family crossed the border to Nicaragua, where the abortion took place.

It is very easy for you say it, because you live in the US and the Pope's influence is more diluted. Your opinion would be different if you lived in Latin America or Africa.
