But the sin also depends on how long the baby have been in the stomach. Some scholars have said that an abortion is prohibited for a Muslim after 40 days of conception because that is when the soul enters the body (according to certain Hadiths). Now, of course, you don't have to agree with any of this and I know that you won't because you are an atheist. I'm just giving my own perspective even though it may be useless.
Surely those Jurists have also suggested some reliable means of testing, so that we know the criteria have been met when considering a woman's eligibility for an abortion? A soulometer perhaps? There's something very strange when you refer to people who are talking completely out of their ass as "jurists" and trot them out as an authority on anything (I'm completely unconvinced that these people are even qualified to speak about their own religious beliefs).
