Birth is not the start of a new human life, it is just a change in the baby’s environment. A new life actually begins in the womb when a single sperm cell from the father fertilizes an egg from the mother. The life of the child in the womb is neither more or less important than that of the mother. Therefore, there is no religion or ethics permits abortion. There are two types of abortion; spontaneous – a natural miscarriage – and induced, the deliberate killing of unborn child. We are going to talk about the second type, the induced one. Abortion denies the human rights, the right of living. Some social problems lead women to end their pregnancy such as: unstable relationships, poor housing and financial insecurity, but abortion does not solve social problems. In Islam, the unborn child has certain rights as protection and life. Abortion on any ground in Islam is forbidden; “Do not kill or take a human life which God has declared to be sacred” (Chapter 6, verse 151). The Catholic and The Orthodox Churches also oppose abortion. In Hinduism, Ghandi, the most respected Hindu of the 20th century, said: “It seems to me clear as daylight that abortion would be a crime.” So they consider the abortionists the greatest of sinners. But all religions including Islam agree that there are exceptions to permit abortion such as mother’s health and disability of the unborn child. However, some people are with abortion in all cases as in the attached article herein.
