You got it. The Catholic Church has stood against abortion for nearly 2000 years. Amazing, isn't it?

I have been told that the church didn’t specifically say abortion was a no-no until the 19th century. I’m not disagreeing with your point, but I am wondering what backs that idea, since I’ve heard it many times over the years. If you know, or anyone else knows about this specific point, let me know.
