I'm not sure where exaclty you would find the first explicit condemnation of abortion

You have to go back to the Jews wandering in the desert. It's one of the 10 commandments: - "Thou shall not kill!"

"You have to go back to the Jews wandering in the desert. It's one of the 10 commandments: - 'Thou shall not kill!'"

Of course....how could I forget that one! Thanks :)

I was refering to the Church Fathers though. The Didache, a fairly early text, does specifically mention it. (The Didache, at the Catholic Encyclopedia: http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/0714.htm).

BTW, that is a great cartoon. The sad thing is some people want "something more progressive."

That's a nice cartoon. Now explain why Rome erased the Second Commandment.

Aha! I knew I left out something ;)

Though I'm wondering where the infallibility of abortion shows up with respect to the early Church.
