| And the second commandment of the Teaching; You shall not commit
murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not commit pederasty,
you shall not commit fornication, you shall not steal, you shall not
practice magic, you shall not practise witchcraft, you shall not murder
a child by abortion nor kill that which is born. (50 AD-100 AD? —The
Didache) |
|
Thou shalt not slay the child by procuring abortion; nor, again,
shalt thou destroy it after it is born.
(74 AD — Letter of Barnabas 19)
|
|
There are some women among you who by drinking special potions
extinguish the life of the future human in their very bowels, thus
committing murder before they even give birth.
(170 AD — Octavius 30, Minucius Felix)

Among surgeons’ tools there is a certain instrument, which
is formed with a nicely-adjusted flexible frame for opening the
uterus first of all and keeping it open; it is further furnished
with an annular blade, by means of which the limbs within the womb
are dissected with anxious but unfaltering care; its last appendage
being a blunt or covered hook, wherewith the entire fetus is extracted
by a violent delivery. There is also a copper needle or spike, by
which the actual death is managed in this furtive robber of life:
they give it, from its infanticide function, the name of embruosphaktes,
‘the slayer of the infant’, which of course was alive.
(210 AD — The Soul 25, Tertullian)
|
|
To hinder a birth is merely a speedier man-killing,
nor does it matter whether you take away a life that is born, or
destroy ont that is coming to birth. That is a man which is going
to be one; you have the fruit already in its seed.
(210 AD — Apology 9, Tertullian) |
|
|
(Christians) marry, like everyone else, and they
beget children, but they do not cast out their offspring.
(250 AD — Letter of Diognetus, Diognetus)
|
|
The man, or woman, is a murderer that gives a philtrum,
if the man that takes it die upon it; so are they who take medicines
to procure abortion; and so are they who kill on the highway, and
rapparees.
(374 AD — First Canonical Letter 8, Basil the Great) |
|
Wherefore I beseech you, flee fornication...
Why sow where the ground makes it its care to destroy the fruit?
– where there are many efforts at abortion? – where
there is murder before birth? For even the harlot you do not let
continue a mere harlot, but make her a murderess also. You see how
drunkenness leads to prostitution, prostitution to adultery, adultery
to murder; or rather to something even worse than murder. For I
have no names to give it, since it does not take off the thing born,
but prevents its being born. Why then do thou abuse the gift of
God, and fight with His laws, and follow after what is a curse as
if a blessing, and make the chamber of procreation a chamber of
murder, and arm the woman that was given for childbearing unto slaughter?
(391 AD — Homilies on Romans, John Chrysostom)

Linda Gibbons is a prayer oriented pro-life
activist who has been repeatedly jailed in Canada.

Some go so far as to take potions, that they may insure barrenness,
and thus murder human beings almost before their conception. Some,
when they find themselves with child through their sin, use drugs
to procure abortion, and when, as often happens, they die with
their offspring, they enter the lower world laden with the guilt
not only of adultery against Christ but also of suicide and child
murder.
(396 AD — Letters 22, Jerome)
