Many beliefs of the Catholic and other Churches have changed through out the ages. Even in the Catholic church, abortion prior to quickening was a venial sin until 1869 when it became a mortal sin, except for 1588-1591 when it was also a mortal sin.
Abortion prior to quickening was not illegal in any State in the US before 1800, and was not illegal in all States until the early 1900s.

I like the description: "expressions of a God-given love and committment to another person, a love that could be celebrated, honored and blessed"
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
