Dear Sr. R. As-salaamu alaykum. In brief, Muslim scholars have different views about abortion. Some of them forbid it from the first day of conception while other ones allow it before the 120th day of pregnancy when the soul is breathed into the fetus. After that period, all of them agree that it is not allowed unless there is an unavoidable danger on the health of the pregnant mother. This danger should be the judgment and opinion of qualified doctors. To our knowledge, most Christian groups forbid abortion. As to the timing for Christians, there are differences on the period of the development of the fetus. Thank you for asking and God knows best.
