VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis on Tuesday, November 5, paid a home visit to Emma Bonino, a veteran politician who successfully campaigned in the 1970s to legalize abortion in Italy, bringing her a bouquet of roses and chocolates. Bonino, 76, was released from hospital last month after suffering from respiratory and heart problems. Last year, she said she had recovered from an eight-year battle with lung cancer., calling it “murder” and tantamount to “hiring a hit man.” But he has also struck up relationships with several anticlerical Italian figures.
A human rights and social justice champion, she was also a member of the European Commission in the 1990s and served as foreign, trade, and EU affairs minister in Italian center-left governments of the 2000s and 2010s.
