Answer 2

sorry, but i'm just going to copy and paste an answer from wikipedia, i'm too busy to write out an answer.

"The only statements in the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible, Christian Old Testament) about the status of a fetus state that killing an unborn infant does not have the same status as killing a born human being, and mandates a much lesser penalty (a fine); it should be added that the instance cited in the Tanakh contemplates the accidental, rather than the deliberate, causing of an abortion.

The Oral Law states that the fetus is not yet a full human being until it has been born (either the head or the body is mostly outside of the mother), therefore killing a fetus is not murder, and abortion - in restricted circumstances - has always been legal under Jewish law. Rashi, the great 12th century commentator on the Bible and Talmud, states clearly of the fetus 'lav nefesh hu--it is not a person.' The Talmud contains the expression 'ubar yerech imo--the fetus is as the thigh of its mother,' i.e., the fetus is deemed to be part and parcel of the pregnant woman's body." Judaism prefers that such abortions, when necessary, take place before the first 40 days where the Babylonian Talmud Yevamot 69b states that: "the embryo is considered to be mere water until the fortieth day." Afterwards, it is considered subhuman until it is born. Christians who agree with these views may refer to this idea as abortion before the "quickening" of the soul by God in the fetus.

There are two additional passages in the Talmud which shed some light on the Jewish belief about abortion. They imply that the fetus is considered part of the mother, and not a separate entity:

One section states that if a man purchases a cow that is found to be pregnant, then he is the owner both of the cow and the fetus.
Another section states that if a pregnant woman converts to Judaism, that her conversion applies also to her fetus.

Judaism unilaterally supports, in fact mandates, abortion if doctors believe that it is necessary to save the life of the mother. Many rabbinic authorities allow abortions on the grounds of gross genetic imperfections of the fetus, such as Tay-Sachs disease. They also allow abortion if the mother were suicidal because of such defects. However, Judaism holds that abortion is impermissible for family planning or convenience reasons. Each case must be decided individually, however, and the decision should lie with the mother, father, and Rabbi."

Answer 3

Muslim scholars generally disapprove of abortion, arguing that the right to terminate life rests with God alone. However, the prohibition against abortion depends from case to case. In the case where the woman's life is threatened by the pregnancy, Muslims jurists agree that abortion is allowed based on the principle that "the greater evil (mother's death) should be warded off by the lesser evil (abortion)". In these cases the physician is considered a better judge than the scholar.

Answer 4

according to Jewish law a woman may not have an abortion. it would be like murder since you are killing someone else. However it is permitted only if the child is causing danger to the mother and the mother might die because of him/her, they have to take it out.

Answer 5

In Islam this concept of abortion is NOT EVEN Concievable.

Firstly, pre-martial sex is forbidden, fornicators are lashed in Islamic Countries, adultery is punishable by death.

Of course there probably is some girl who claims to be Muslim and got knocked up but for her, only God can judge her.
