Gain perspective on abortion, as illuminated by Torah and the Rebbe's Hadracha.
The Halacha varies in context of levels of danger to the mother and stage of the pregnancy.
Therefore, it is imperative to consult a Rov in all cases, whether is seems to be a case where one should be maikel or machmir.
In the following response to a non-religious couple considering an abortion, the Rebbe highlighted that killing a fetus is just as wrong by non-religious standards as by religious ones:מענה לאחת שכתבה שבעלה רוצה שתבצע הפלה ר"ל
תחלת תמוז תנש"א
אין זה הפלה כ"א ר"ל הריגת העובר – ומובן שאין לאם העובר או האב לחשוב אפילו ע"ד הריגת העובר (ושלהם!) ואפילו הקורא לעצמו חילוני – אין זה מתיר להיות רוצח ר"ל ור"ל
אפילו הנאצים ימ"ש לא הרגו ילדיהם כ"א של בנ"י שליט"א.
אזכיר עה"צ.
