9:04Now PlayingThe Catholic Church is not fond of birth control, but the Pope is making an exception for those in areas affected by the Zika Virus. However, that doesn’t mean that women are allowed to get abortions, even if the fetus has microcephaly from the disease. Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, Ben Mankiewicz, and John Iadarola hosts of The Young Turks discuss.
Do you like the Pope’s stance on this? Let us know in the comments below.

“With the mosquito-borne Zika virus continuing to spread through Central and South America, Pope Francis said today that contraception could be seen as "the lesser of two evils" if women are concerned about having children with the birth defect microcephaly.
The Zika virus is usually mild, but has been associated with a rise of the alarming birth defect, characterized by an abnormally small head and brain, often leading to significant developmental delays.
The pope compared the situation to a decree issued by Pope Paul VI, which said nuns in Africa could use contraception due to the threat of rape.”
