If you kill the soul-monad, you thus prevent it from reaching enlightenment, thus you retard it's evolution. That's assuming that there is a soul-monad and that it enters the fetus at conception. According to the theory of karma, anyone who kills the soul of another being will reap the karma. Marshy said it was a 'sin', which he probably associated with the theory of karma, implying that such an act would retard your own spiritual evolution. > Assuming an abortion takes place after ensoulment, what do you think happens to the soul? > The soul-monad gets killed and it goes back to the Creator, who then must create another soul-monad to take it's place. > What happens to the soul if there's a miscarriage after > ensoulment? > The soul dies a natural death and no karma is accrued. > You do know that the *vast* majority--over 80 percent-- > of abortions take place prior to 12 weeks' gestation, > right? > Almost all of the people on the planet think that killing the soul is a bad thing to do, unless they are materialists who don't believe in the soul-monad theory. In that case, since there is no soul-monad in the first place, there would be nothing to kill, there would just be an elimination of an unwanted material substance. And the materialist would also probably deny the existence of karma. So, for the materialist, there would be no need to refrain from killing anything at all - it's just a natural thing to do. A materialist would see no need to refrain from killing anyone, since the means always justifies the ends.
