Of course I believe that abortion is wrong, that it’s killing innocent life. I also believe, however, that those who are against abortion should be consistent.

If my choice is between a person who makes room for abortion, but who is really pro-life in terms of justice in the world, peace in the world, I will prefer him to somebody who doesn’t support abortion but who is driving millions of people in the world to death,” Onaiyekan said.

It’s a whole package, and you never get a politician who will please you in everything. You always have to pick and choose.

- Bishop Onaiyekan, widely seen as a spokesperson for Catholicism in Africa.
