Excerpt from letter by Supreme Knight Carl Anderson (historical background on teaching on the sanctity of human life):

This teaching dates all the way back to the Didache, written in the second century. It is found in the writings of Tertullian, Jerome, Augustine and Aquinas, and was reaffirmed by the Second Vatican Council, which described abortion as “an unspeakable crime” and held that the right to life must be protected from the “moment of conception.” This consistent teaching was restarted most recently last month in the response of the U. S. Conference of Catholic Bishops to remarks by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
