One of the arguments in Roe v Wade court was: “It perhaps is not generally appreciated that the restrictive criminal abortion laws ...are not of ancient or even of common law origin." This is misleading. Consider the following teachings by early Church Fathers. The first passage comes from the Didache (Greek for “teaching”), which is usually dated as early as the end of the first century: “…you shall not murder a child by abortion nor kill that which is begotten” (chapter 2). This statement is as clear as it gets. The second passage is from St. Barnabas from the early second century: “You shall love your neighbour more than your own soul. You shall not slay the child by procuring abortion; nor, again, shall you destroy it after it is born” (Chapter 19). St. Basil the Great (c.330-379): “Women also who administer drugs to cause abortion, as well as those who take poisons to destroy unborn children, are murderesses” (Letter 188, to Amphilochius concerning the canons, section 8). Notice here how St. Basil is not making any distinctions about what stage in the pregnancy is okay to administer drugs to cause abortion. Nowhere in these quotes is there a distinction being made between any "stages" of life. For the Fathers, abortion is unequivocal taking of life.
Los Padres de la Iglesia y Aborto:
Uno de los argumentos presentados ante el tribunal en el caso Roe v Wade fue: "Tal vez no se aprecia generalmente que las restrictivas y criminales leyes del aborto...no vienen de la antigüedad e incluso que no son originarias del derecho común." Esto es engañoso. Considere las siguientes enseñanzas de Padres de la Iglesia. El primer pasaje proviene de la Didajé ( del griego "enseñar"), fechado en los inicios del primer siglo: "... no matarás a un niño por el aborto ni matarás aquello que ha sido engendrado" (capítulo 2) . Esta afirmación es completamente clara al respecto. El segundo pasaje es de San Bernabé, de principios del siglo II: "Amarás a tu prójimo más que a su propia alma. No deberás matar al niño mediante el aborto; ni deberás destruirlo después de su nacimiento "(capítulo 19). San Basilio el Grande (c.330-379): "Las mujeres que administran medicamentos para provocar el aborto, así como aquellas que toman venenos para destruir a los niños no nacidos, son asesinas" (Carta 188, a Anfiloquio relativa a los cánones, la sección 8). Nótese aquí cómo San Basilio no hace distinciones sobre cuál etapa del embarazo es correcta para administrar medicamentos para causar el aborto. En ninguna parte de estas citas hay una distinción entre las "etapas" de la vida. Para los Padres de la Iglesia, el aborto es la toma inequívoca de vida.
