>> Somehow I doubt abortion on demand for any reason at any time was ever the law of the land. Feel free to research it out. I am sure you can google as well as I. You should note that Christians of the time did not believe the fetus had soul until it started kicking in the womb (known as quickening). So exactly what would have been their objections to it?

BTW, do you believe 'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.'?

Somehow I doubt abortion on demand for any reason at any time was ever the law of the land. You must realize that most people did not have access to doctors 200 years ago. The abortions, like all medicine, were done at home or with the help of midwives. The two most common methods were poison and beating the woman's belly with a sack of sand. Abortion was classified a major sin by Pope Pious IX in 1869 in response to declining birth rates for Catholics, especially in France. TP
