Abortion from another angle

Look at abortion from another angle, after a fetus is formed, it will become human baby, will be born, will live his or her life according to kamma, as well as creating new kamma in the life he or she is supposed to live. These new kamma that the person perform if he or she is allowed to be born, may be more wholesome than unwholesome.

The act of abortion, even at the early stage, prevents a person from being born, and cut short his or her opportunities to be born as human, at least now. As human, a person has the ability to do wholesome things which can lead him or her to a better life in the next life, and the next life, and the next life.

The Buddha said that being born as a human is very very hard, so why stop the chance of whoever will take birth from living his or her life? That life may be a more fruitful life than any of ours, who knows...
