abortion

So their theory, this atheistic theory, is aparaspara-sambhutam. It has taken by mechanical arrangement. Mechanical... Kim anyat kama-haitukam [Bg 16.8]. Kama. Just like kama-a man, a woman becomes lusty, and there is sex, and there is production. So they say like that. The production is like that. There is no other plan. But there is a big plan. That they do not know. The plan is: yada yada hi dharmasya glanir bhavati bharata, tadatmanam srjamy aham [Bg 4.7]. That is plan. But these rascal, this atheist class, they say, kim anyat kama-haitukam: "Only lusty desires, that is the only reason. That is the only cause." The atheist class think like that, that "This birth is taking place due to our lusty desires, but we do not want to take responsibility. Then kill him. What is that?" Therefore they are making this abortion, killing of the child, as legal. The kama... "We had some lusty desires, and we got it, but we don't want it. Kill it." That's all. This is going on. This is atheism. But it is not that. That child has come. It is a living entity. It desired a certain thing, and therefore he has given chance to take birth as human being or as cat, as dog. Kama-haitukam.    (More...)

Tivram bhayam. What you are accepting, spelled by maya, as very position, good position... I have told you many times. It is published in now..., that therefore, the rascal class of men, they want to..., they do not want to accept that there is life after death. "Everything is finished." Therefore in Western countries there is killing even grown-up child within the womb. They are killing, abortion. They think there is no life. Unless it comes out of the womb, there is no life. It's all nonsense theory. All nonsense theory. Simply committing sinful life one after another and becoming entangled, the result will be that he will have to enter again into the womb of mother and he will be killed. He will be killed not once-he will be killed again when he enters the womb of the mother. Again he will be killed. For many, many years he will not be allowed to see the light of the sun.    (More...)

So these children... Kaumara acaret prajno dharman bhagavatan iha [SB 7.6.1]. That is Prahlada Maharaja's instruction, that you produce children as much as you can train them to become eternally family members of Krsna. That is spiritual contraceptive. Don't produce children like cats and dogs. This is our philosophy. If you can produce Krsna conscious children, produce one hundred children. There is no objection. But if you cannot do that, then either don't produce children or produce children as much as you can manage. This is Krsna philosophy. Our philosophy is not simply negation. It is positive. They, general people, they are unnecessarily producing children, then cannot manage. So they are adopting so many sinful activities, so much so that they are now killing their own child within the womb and becoming implicated in sinful activities and prolong the life in this material world very miserably. Just see the miserable condition of the child, baby within the womb. She is... It is in the mother's womb, and the mother, at the advice of the doctor, is killing. Why? Because that child-now it is child-he did it. He killed so many other children in his previous life; now he is being killed. Not only in one womb, but he will enter another womb-he will be killed. As many children he has killed, he will be killed in this way.    (More...)

Prabhupada: Varna-saṅkara. There is no varnasrama; therefore all the children, they are varna-saṅkara. And as soon as there is varna-saṅkara population, the world becomes hell. Therefore we are trying to check: "No illicit sex"-to stop this varna-saṅkara. Now the varna-saṅkara has come to such an extent that they are killing child, and that is legal. They have come down to such a extreme position.    (More...)

Prabhupada: Yes, therefore kill in the womb. That is killing, the abortion, killing. That means advance of..., advancement of ignorance is accepted as advancement of civilization. Why? The beginning is that there is no spiritual knowledge. Therefore the so-called advancement of ignorance is accepted as advancement of civilization. That is due to want of that basic principle of spiritual knowledge. Hare Krsna. [devotees chant japa] [break]    (More...)

Prabhupada: Just see, in our..., there are so many husbandless girls, and the children have not gone with the husbands, to the man. They are after the mother. This is natural. How you'll have equal rights? They cannot. At least your heart will cry, "Oh, I have left my children. I am unhappy." That is... Just like our Hari-sauri's grandmother's advice to his mother to kill him. He said. And she refused. This is natural inclination. How a mother can…. Artificially they are thinking like that, violating nature's law. Therefore they must suffer. As soon as you break, ahaṅkara-vimudhatma kartaham iti manyate [Bg 3.27]. These rascals, on account of being misled by misconception of life, ahaṅkara, false ahaṅkara, kartaham, "I can do everything." Any little pinch of nature's law, if you break, you'll suffer. Daivi hy esa guna-mayi mama maya duratyaya [Bg 7.14].    (More...)
