That's more than 150 years ago. Matches pretty much my definition of consistency.

Even before, there might have been some doctrinal adjustments, but abortion was condemned by many Fathers of the Church, in the very early centuries.

So out of a 2000 year history, "consistency" means something that was invented 150 years ago? That seems like an absurd definition of consistency.

150 years out of 2000 is not consistent. If you value consistency, then ignore the current ruling as its relatively fresh and just carry on with abortion.
