If the fetus reaches 120 days of age and the soul is breathed into it, then abortion is not permissible unless it poses a certain danger to the mother's life, even if it is malformed. As for before the soul is breathed into it, abortion is forbidden unless there is a permissible excuse, such as the mother suffering from a serious illness that affects her and her pregnancy.
