Abortion is Bad Karma: Hindu Perspectives.
Hinduism Is Prolife on Abortion
Hinduism is an ancient religion practiced by hundreds of millions in India and abroad. One commentator describes it as
...more than just a creed: it is a total culture, a way of life based on the belief in the unity of all creation. Hindus, like Buddhists, see humankind not as an entity separate from animals, but rather as an integral part of the universe that includes all living creatures. Although Hinduism is well known for considering cows to be holy, in Hindu doctrine, all living creatures, including insects, plants, and trees, are thought to enjoy a kinship with one another and to be worthy of respect and life.
