For a lot of history abortion was not criminalised. Not because it wasn't necessarily considered sinful or bad or whatever. But because everyone knew the alternative was infanticide.

Catholics only changed the policy in the 19th century from memory. Protestants took until the evangelical movement of the 70-80s to turn on it. Before then if you cared people thought you were a secret papist.
