Is it permissible to abort a fetus at the beginning of the second month, before the ensoulment, due to breastfeeding circumstances, the troubles of other children, and the wife's fluctuating health conditions?

Abortion is absolutely impermissible, whether before or after the ensoulment of the fetus. An exception is made only in cases of necessity, if the continuation of the pregnancy poses a danger to the mother's life. This is determined by trustworthy doctors.
