Abortion
Warning: This sensitive topic speaks about abortion
Divine Code for November 26, 2022
Today: Pages 316-317
Part 1:8 -- 1:10
One who hits a pregnant woman an kills her embryo, or a doctor who performs an abortion by which the embryo cannot possibly live, or a doctor who gives the mother medicine for the purpose of aborting the embryo or killing it in place, or a pregnant woman who did this herself, are all liable to be punished for murder in a court of law. However, one who hits a woman in another area of her body, which cause her to weaken and subsequently miscarry, is not liable in a court unless he has intention with his action to cause the miscarriage, and the miscarriage was inevitably a result of the blow (see topic 5:7 below). One who hires a doctor to perform an abortion is considered as one who hires a mercenary to kill, and this is punishable by G-d.
