Not specifically, other than "Thou shalt not murder."

If he did, it was not worthy of being remembered by those that had the pencils and were scribbling.
But then alot of scribbling was missed, stuff like womans rights, apostles wives following and helping in the feeding of thousends, listening and teaching in the early churches. BROTHERS AND SISTERS taught in the new temples, and yet that was overlooked..., so at the time there may have been doctrines but the churches that had multiple records were burned or destroyed over the course of a few wars... so our records are of the roman catholic conversion and the greek translations. The churches which may have had another or more writings were lost to us.

Not really but I don't think that people who are living in comfortable homes, with plenty to eat should talk about desperate people having an abortion. I don't think Jesus condones African or any children going hungry, when he has enriched the world with plenty of food.
Some people are sitting with hundreds of millions in the bank, money they will never use and children are dying of starvation,
where is the logic in that. Mothers are having abortions, because they cant afford to feed another child, and they are the ones who are condemned this world is crazy.

I think its kinda one of those implied things. It is something that is left up to us. For example he says not to steal, but back in his days there were those that had to steal for survival, and there still are today. He says they are justified. So situationally speaking you would probably have to approach abortion through utilitarian ethic. questions to ask would be "Is the mother in danger of death?" "Would the child and the mother both live otherwise?" You know things like that. The other will spout off commandments, but in reality Jesus also says that the commandments are followed automatically by anyone who has Christ. In other words, we don't have to keep a list of the commandments in our pockets and keep double checking our behavior when we truly have God.

At the time, abortion was the least of Jesus concerns. I do believe that Jesus supported life over potential life. He spoke in parables so that each one of us could make our own evaluation as to his meaning. I love him very much and have no doubt that he loves me. And you.

Nope not a word.
The Christians like to pretend he said thou shall not kill but they seem to use this idea rather selectively. The often support war and make believe that only the right people are being killed.

Abortion is not murder. A fetus is not considered a human life.
If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life. -- Exodus 21:22-23
he Bible places no value on fetuses or infants less than one month old.
And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver. -- Leviticus 27:6
Fetuses and infants less than one month old are not considered persons.
Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them. And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD. -- Numbers 3:15-16
God sometimes approves of killing fetuses.
And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive? ... Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. -- Numbers 31:15-17
(Some of the non-virgin women must have been pregnant. They would have been killed along with their unborn fetuses.)
Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts. -- Hosea 9:14
Yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb. -- Hosea 9:16
Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up. -- Hosea 13:16
God sometimes kills newborn babies to punish their parents.
Because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die. -- 2 Samuel 12:14
God sometimes causes abortions by cursing unfaithful wives.
The priest shall say unto the woman, The LORD make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell. And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen. ...
And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people. And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed. -- Numbers 5:21-21, 27-28
God's law sometimes requires the execution (by burning to death) of pregnant women.
Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt. -- Genesis 38:24

No.
He was totally against divorce though.
And felt that women and men should be treated as equals.
