The whole abortion debate is a sticky wicket (as a British friend of mine has been prone to spout). I avoid it as much as possible.
One piece of input I will add, and I give this a big For What It Is Worth, is what I heard Maharishi say on the topic, with my very own big and differently sized ears, in June of 1971, at the end of my teacher training course. A very pregnant lady got up to the microphone and asked Maharishi when the soul enters the developing child within the womb. Maharish asked the woman at the microphone, as well as the rest of the women on the course who had children, when they felt the first movement. I believe one of the women said at around 3 months. Maharish replied, "this is it" meaning when the first movement was felt was when the soul had arrived.

She went ahead with the abortion. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
