Selectively reading? I think you are the one that is selectively reading. I was also raised in the Church, so you quote me a Pope and please give me the documentation to back your claim, that ever said abortion wasn't murder.

Here are a few links, but you can google and get hundreds or thousands more. Two notable popes accepted abortion in the early stages as not being murder, Innocent III, and Gregory IX. And if it were not so, why did Pius IX decide it necessary to resolve the issue once and for all?

It's interesting to note that if you go to Catholic sites and look up Innocent III, you will see a nice history of him, with that part left out.
