The official position of the Catholic church on abortion seems clear and unambiguous: No.
How hard can that be for an “ardent Catholic” to understand?

Nancy Pelosi apparently thinks "ardent" is a synonym for "ignorant."

Some of the early church fathers seem to have thought the soul entered the body some time after conception, but that doesn't mean they approved of killing the fetus. One of the oldest non-Biblical Christian texts, the Didache, condemns abortion.
