Abortion was NEVER a doctrine that was even countenanced by the Catholic Church, in any form or at any time in its history. People had intercourse for the express purpose of producing babies, everything else connected with sex was either secondary or proscribed.
The Romans, the Greeks, the Egyptians all had means at their disposal of aborting pregnancies, which were about as hazardous for the mother as they were for the developing infant. It is only in recent decades that abortion has become only relatively safe, and there is still a 50% mortality rate. Rarely does a developing infant survive an abortion attempt, and successful abortions are invariably fatal for the child. So the injunctions against abortion were pretty well ingrained in the Catholic theology. The term "kill" comes to mind, and while people do not like to be reminded of the unpleasantry connected with the conscious act to terminate a healthy pregnancy, that is the stark reality of what happens.
All this is old ground, and it is persons of little or no religions persuasion who have been in the forefront of promoting "abortion on demand", apparently as a backup plan for inappropriate sexual encounters. No theological contemplations for them, if a matter of convenience is of greater importance.
For the mother! The baby dies nearly 100% of the time. (I know you meant that.)
Pray for our nation. Pray that this monstrosity called abortion ends in our lifetimes.
