I found it interesting too. I would also be interested in seeing the verses issuing judgment against nations whose soldiers performed 'abortions'? |
It would depend on how we defined 'threatened'. If we are discussing a case where the baby may be born fine but the mother may perish, then the life of the child is still sacrosact. However, if there is no hope, such as the child is already dead, then it is right to bring the everything to an end. However, the first is infinitely more likely to be than the second,
This then leaves us the gray area of the probabilities of a mother surviving to deliver the baby. It is a known fact that pregnancy is hazardous and carries risk to the lady's health. With this in mind, she has accepted the risks and must protect the child, even at the cost of her own life. People should be careful when a doctor recomends artificially ending a pregnancy by abortion. I would never recommend an abortion.
