The answer

Aborting a fetus is forbidden, even in its early stages, according to the preponderant opinion of jurists. It is not permissible to resort to it for the slightest reason, unless there is a genuine excuse and a need to adopt the view of those who permitted abortion before forty days, or before the ensoulment. In such cases, there is no objection to it.
