Did you know before 1869, the Catholic Church's official policy was that a human embryo did not have a soul until the woman was at least 6 weeks pregnant?

Did you know that Thomas Aquinas thought that the male sperm contained the nascent human, with the female contributing nothing but the womb?

Science changes these moral judgments.

Until the Church can be certain when life begins, it errs on the side of caution and protects a fertilized egg as a human life.

Plus, Ps. 139 dictates that it's prudent to give God the benefit of the doubt in the matter.
