Abortion in Jewish Law

In reply to your letter in which you notify me [that you are expecting a child]:

May G‑d grant that your entire pregnancy proceed to a normal and easy completion, and that healthy and viable offspring be born full term of a regular and easy birth. ...

P.S. Should there be those who desire to persuade [you] that — G‑d forbid — you perform an abortion:

Tell them that this constitutes deliberate murder of a creature who is as yet unable to protect himself from those who seek to murder him. G‑d, who formed the fetus, is the One Who previously formed [those who seek to harm the fetus], and He monitors [all, including those who seek to harm His creatures].

(From a letter of the Rebbe, dated Rosh Chodesh Menachem Av, 5731)
