The Real Reason to Avoid Abortion - To Help the Baby's Soul -

In Japan, over 160,000 fetuses are aborted each year just with notifications.
Even if there are unavoidable reasons, aborting a fetus that has a soul is said to impose considerable trials on the baby's soul from a spiritual perspective.
Here, we introduce the issues surrounding induced abortion from the perspective of spiritual truth.

When a woman becomes pregnant and reaches the 9th week, a 'soul' resides in the mother's womb.

Before we are born into this world, we live as spirits in the afterlife. To shine our souls more brightly, we plan our lives and are born on earth, accumulating various experiences and aiming for infinite improvement as spiritual beings.

What this means is that even if the child is small in body, a fully-fledged soul resides within, planning to be born to achieve happiness.

Those who think of humans as mere matter may believe that 'there is no soul, so it doesn't matter if we abort,' but in reality, a fully grown adult soul takes the form of a light like a firefly and resides in the womb.

In Japan, over 160,000 fetuses are aborted each year just with notifications, but abortion nullifies that life plan.

In some cases, they may wander on earth for a long time without being able to return to the afterlife.

Regardless of the child, the soul that has taken residence has a purpose in life, so unilaterally taking away their life is not a good thing, and we must cherish it.

Moreover, once a soul has been aborted, it may carry a fear of experiencing 'the same thing again' when it tries to come into this world next, which can leave a scar on the soul.

Once a soul has taken residence in a physical body, it becomes the consciousness of a baby, so even if it returns to the afterlife, it cannot immediately revert to its original form. To return to the awareness of an adult, it must grow again in the afterlife, which takes about 20 years in earthly time.

Therefore, in the spiritual world, there are angels and reserve angels who take care of babies until they become adults.

I believe there are various circumstances under which abortions are performed. For example, in cases of financial issues, when the mother's life is in danger, or pregnancies resulting from crimes, there are legitimate reasons and unavoidable circumstances. However, when a loving couple has a child, I believe they should do their best to give birth and raise it.

At that time, it is important to pray sufficiently for the soul that wanted to be born but could not, so that 'the baby can grow up healthily in the afterlife' and 'to ensure that no scars remain in their heart.'
Let us not forget the wish for the happiness of the souls that could not come into this world.

In Happy Science, there are scriptures aimed at young souls, including those lost to abortion, miscarriage, stillbirth, or children who died shortly after birth, as well as those who passed away before they could develop awareness.

This is found in the 'Prayer Document ①' awarded to Happy Science's Three Returns Vow open_in_new, which includes the 'Buddha's Teaching - Prayer Document for the 'Beloved Child and Water Child Memorial Service.'
Those who have lost children at a young age may sometimes blame themselves, thinking 'it was my fault' or 'I did something wrong.' However, if you blame yourself excessively, it may worry the child's soul and make it difficult for the child to embark on their journey to the afterlife. To save the child's soul, it is important for parents to learn the spiritual truth correctly and offer prayers and thoughts of memorial service.

The heart that prays for the child's soul to be guided by angels back to the afterlife, and the heart that wishes for mutual growth and progress thereafter, will save the child's soul and also save the parent's own soul.
