This is an interesting school presentation by a 12 year old with some hard hitting facts and thought provoking questions 12 year old speak out on the issue of abortion

We see through the wonders of modern ultrasound equipment the development of the fetus as seen here pro-life anti abortion film

But we see that we talk about right’s the right of the mother to choose if her child can or can’t live, sanctioned by the state as a health option.

We see that Srila Prabhupada notes that these lives too have meaning and should be counted as such:

Because of all these self-destructive practices and the powerful influence of time, the average life span (ayur) is decreasing. Modern scientists, seeking to gain credibility among the mass of people, often publish statistics supposedly showing that science has increased the average duration of life. But these statistics do not take into account the number of people killed through the cruel practice of abortion. When we figure aborted children into the life expectancy of the total population, we find that the average duration of life has not at all increased in the age of Kali but is rather decreasing drastically.

SB 12.2.1

And for those who undertake abortion there are frightening consequences:
The Supreme Personality of Godhead does not allow anyone to act against the stringent laws of material nature; therefore illicit sex is punished life after life. Illicit sex creates pregnancies, and these unwanted pregnancies lead to abortion. Those involved become implicated in these sins, so much so that they are punished in the same way the next life. Thus in the next life they also enter the womb of a mother and are killed in the same way. All these things can be avoided by remaining on the transcendental platform of Krsna consciousness. In this way one does not commit sinful activity. Illicit sex is the most prominent sin due to lusty desire. When one associates with the mode of passion, he is implicated in suffering life after life.

SB 5.14.9

And when asked about liberation this was a simple reply:

Ms. Nixon: How do you feel about women’s liberation?

Srila Prabhupada: So-called equal rights for women means that the men cheat the women. Suppose a woman and a man meet, they become lovers, they have sex, the woman becomes pregnant, and the man goes away. The woman has to take charge of the child and beg alms from the government, or else she kills the child by having an abortion. This is the woman’s independence. In India, although a woman may be poverty-stricken, she stays under the care of her husband, and he takes responsibility for her. When she becomes pregnant, she is not forced to kill the child or maintain him by begging. So, which is real independence — to remain under the care of the husband or to be enjoyed by everyone?

What Is Krsna Consciousness?

But there is a rejection on vedic culture because it hinders sense gratification.
