Buddhism and abortion
There is no single Buddhist view concerning abortion.〔"(Abortion: Buddhism )." ''BBC Religion & Ethics.'' Retrieved January 15, 2008.〕 Yet, all traditional sources, such as the Buddhist monastic code, hold that life begins at conception and that abortion, which would then involve the deliberate destruction of life, should be rejected.〔Harvey, Peter. Introduction to Buddhist Ethics (2000). Cambridge University Press. pg. 311-20〕
==Scriptural views and the monastic code==
Inducing or otherwise causing an abortion is regarded as a serious matter in the monastic rules followed by both Theravada and Vajrayana monks; monks can be expelled for assisting a woman in procuring an abortion.〔 Traditional sources do not recognize a distinction between early- and late-term abortion, but in Sri Lanka and Thailand the "moral stigma" associated with an abortion grows with the development of the fetus.〔 While traditional sources do not seem to be aware of the possibility of abortion as relevant to the health of the mother, modern Buddhist teachers from many traditions- and abortion laws in many Buddhist countries- recognize a threat to the life or physical health of the mother as an acceptable justification for abortion as a practical matter, though it may still be seen as a deed with negative moral or karmic consequences.〔
