Did God not command: You shall not kill?

This prohibition does not concern only humans, but also applies to all land and aquatic animals, as well as plants, which we must under no circumstances destroy.

In truth, know that just as man is a soul incarnated in a human body, the same is true for all animals and all plants, which are also souls incarnated in bodies of specific matter, according to the karma of each one.

Therefore, let us obey Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, and not take anyone's life, for there is no justification for committing this heinous, criminal act.

In truth, abortion is a crime, a grave and unforgivable sin, because the egg, the fruit of the union of sperm and ovum, is already a living being since a soul resides within it.

The Vedas, the original holy scriptures, the true gospel, state: Under the direction of the Supreme Lord and according to the fruits of its actions, the living being, the soul, is introduced into a woman's womb through a drop of male semen to assume a particular bodily form.

The most important point here is that the soul is introduced by God's assistants into the father's semen, the sperm that he releases. Then the soul in the particle of male semen is injected into the mother's womb in various ways, through sexual intercourse or otherwise. All of this happens under God's supervision, and the result is the production of a new material body that the mother develops in her womb. Here we have proof that life is present even before conception, let alone afterward, since it continues.

We are all, by our original nature, individual souls distinct from God, and immortal. As souls, we originally lived in God's kingdom, but by envying the Lord, challenging His authority, refusing to serve Him with devotion, and harboring material desires, we fell into the material universe. Because of this fall, the soul is compelled to be born and die in an endless cycle.

But the soul nevertheless has the possibility, through spiritual practice, to return home to the spiritual world. The principle of reincarnation was widespread among Greek philosophers such as Plato and Pythagoras, and among early Christians such as Origen and Tertullian.

According to the law of material nature governed by God, the eternal soul is placed in the male seed and then injected into the mother's womb. The soul is therefore present even before conception and certainly afterwards.
