Orthodox Judaism's view on ABORTION.

orthodox judaism's view on abortion is it permissible or is it not as you probably have seen that texas just made abortion illegal restrictive abortion law went into effect in texas it essentially bans all abortions after six weeks what is torah's perspective what is judaism's perspective on abortion oh it's actually relatively complex but there are cases in which abortion is permissible if the life of the mother is in danger if she has the child then abortion is permissible if the mental health of the woman is in danger meaning we believe that she may commit suicide or harm herself if she has the child abortion is permissible in those two cases by the way it has to be done within the first 40 days otherwise it just gets much more difficult all that being said from judaism and god's perspective life is holy life is sacred and we should do as much as possible to preserve it and to celebrate it
