Abortion


Induced or spontaneous expulsion of a fetus, or embryo, which terminates its development or survival.

Spiritualists are opposed to induced abortion, as they recognize that a soul essence has already connected to the embryo. However, they do not judge the actions of abortionists, knowing that the ultimate law of cause and effect is always at work. Also, the motive plays a significant part in how this law will work.

Extremists in the anti- and pro- abortion movements create their own Karma, as their cause often extends to religious or political ideology. Their judgements can inhibit understanding, compassion and love. The question of abortion would evaporate if selfishness, greed and lack of parental nurturing was addressed properly with all children.

For any choice to be a moral choice, it must be a free choice, because when people are not free to choose they do not develop morally. The creation of man-made laws to legislate morality often results in a poisoning of that morality. Mankind will continue with a need to legislate laws to protect individual rights, until the selfishness, greed and hate are removed.
