ABORTION
Buddhism is opposed to the taking of life - animal or human. The first precept to be observed by practicing Buddhists is, " I undertake the training to abstain from destroying life." Buddhists consider that the life of an unborn child starts at the moment of conception, therefore any attempt to terminate this life is contrary to the first precept. However, Buddhists would not normally become involved in anti-abortion campaigns, because each person is responsible for their own karma. We should concentrate on our own behaviour and try to perfect that rather than imposing our views on others. A Buddhist doctor, normally, would refuse to perform an abortion.
