Abortion not allowed

[Jenny A]

Jenny - thank you for your thoughtful response. I am speaking of a more ancient understanding of life and unity. Where I come from, all life is sacred, and has been so longer than man has existed to challenge it.

There are many cultural traditions where all life is sacred. But that doesn't necessarily lead to prohibiting the taking of life, though it may. Janism which has roots all the way back to Protagoras does. I'm aware of some North American Indian traditions concerning the sacredness of life, but if there's such a tradition that's gone as far as vegetarianism and avoiding killing insects I don't know of it. But I'm willing to be educated.

Unless, however not aborting a pregnancy is part of a larger mission not to kill any life at all, I'm not sure I get you.
