Abstract
Pope Francis has hinted that the use of contraception by women at risk of contracting the Zika virus may be permissible. The Pontiff insisted that abortion remained a crime but said avoiding pregnancy was "not an absolute evil".
His remarks came in response to a question about how best to tackle the Zika outbreak across Latin America.
