THE
YOGIC SAINTS
ON ABORTION:
From the earliest times,
Hindu
tradition and scriptures condemn the practice of abortion, except when
the mother's life is in danger. It is considered an act against rita (moral order, sacred law) and ahimsa (harmlessness).
Hindu mysticism teaches
that
the fetus is a living, conscious person, needing and deserving
protection. A Rig Vedic hymn [7.36.9, RvP, 2469] begs for protection of
fetuses).
The Kaushitaki Upanishad
(3.1
UpR, 774) describes abortion as equivalent to killing one's parents.
The Atharva Veda (6.113.2
HE,
43) lists the fetus slayer, brunaghni, among the greatest of sinners
(6.113.2).
The Gautama Dharma
Shastra
(3.3.9 HD, 214) considers such participants to have lost caste (their
rightful place in the social order).
