[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The early Catholic church did allow abortion. In 1869, Pope Pius IX declared all abortion murder. [/quote]

He is also the one who established the dogma of Immaculate Conception of Mary on 8 December 1854, and by 1870, he established the dogma of "papal infallibility,” which states that when speaking in terms of Church doctrine, the Pope speaks the truth with certainty. Convenient, isn't it?

His reason: "He believed that while it may not be known when ensoulment occurs, there was the [b]possibility[/b] that it happens at conception. Believing it was [b]morally safer[/b] to follow this conclusion, he thought all life should be protected from the start of conception. In 1869 he removed the labels of “animated” fetus and “unanimated” fetus and concluded that abortions at any point of gestation were punishable by excommunication."  https://embryo.asu.edu/pages/pope-pius-ix-1792-1878

So, all of this pain and suffering inflicted on women based on one man bucking centuries of belief and practice, hedging his moral bets, and declaring himself the last word on the subject.[/quote]
