    The Garbha Upanishad is an authentic upanishad which is part of the Paippalada Shakha of the Atharvaveda and has been quoted by acharyas such as Ramanuja. Even if ensoulment occurs only in the seventh month, abortion is nevertheless a sin because it has been declared so in our scriptures.

    Not agreeing or disagreeing with you, but please add the names of the scriptures, the relevant verses and their translation to make the 'it is a sin' claim relevant.

    Pranam.
