I'm not sure where exaclty you would find the first explicit condemnation of abortion, but it's something that has always been believed by the Church.

The Didache was written in the first century AD. While not part of the canon of Holy Scripture, it was used by the early church. It unquestionably condemns abortion. You can find out more about the Didache at http://www.antiochian.org/1135104215.

Thanks for the help!

(After I posted the first one, I did some research and found the Didache at the Catholic Encyclopedia; see post 38. The Catholic Encyclopedia has a whole host of Patristic texts; you should check it out sometime.)
