Abortion: Buddhism: It is a moral evil. Buddhists believe it is murder. It is undeniably the taking of life. Hinduism: It is legal in India. It is up to the individual to decide whether or not abortion id the right thing to do. All life contains an atman (sanctity of life). To take a life would incur bad karma. Decide at what point the foetus has an atman. The ultimate decision is made by the individual. Islam: Islamic people believe that life is a sacred gift from god. No one is allowed to take or stop the life of anyone. the Holy Quran says: "Say: Come, I will rehearse what God has really prohibited you from: Join nothing as equal with Him; be good to your parents, kill not your children on a plea of poverty; We provide sustenance for you and for them; approach not shameful deeds, whether open or secret; take not life, which God has made sacred, except by a way of justice and law (chapter 6 verse 151) Kill not your children for fear of want; it is We who provide sustenance for them as well as for you; for verily killing them is a great sin (chapter 17 verse 31) Islam does not at agree at all with those who say that a women has full control over her body.
