I feel guilty after having an abortion【Consultation】

In Happy Science, we view life as a problem set and learn the laws of the mind to achieve happiness. Staff members of Happy Science answer specific problems encountered in life, such as relationship issues and worries about work and family.

Currently, the number of people having abortions in Japan is increasing, and it is said that about 1 million people have abortions each year, including unofficial ones.
In such a situation, what happens from a spiritual perspective?

We aim for the elevation of the soul and are born from heaven to earth. It is taught that before being born, we choose our profession, parents, and marriage partner, and then dwell in the mother's womb.
After the mother becomes pregnant, the baby that has settled in the womb endures in the dark world for ten months, holding the anxiety of 'Will I be born safely?'
When an abortion occurs through artificial means, it leaves a significant scar on the soul of the fetus, leading to a strong fear of being born again into the womb.
Additionally, if the intended partner is not united or the intended profession's mission is not fulfilled, the life plans of the baby and those connected to it become disrupted. Because of this, it seems that confusion due to abortion is occurring in the afterlife.
Some souls wander near their mother or family after death, unable to return to heaven, causing disturbances, and even if they are born safely next time, they may become rebellious or engage in antisocial behavior.

It is necessary to be aware of the fact that such tragedies occur as a result of careless actions and to 'take responsibility for one's actions.'
However, continuing to suffer with guilt is not good for your future life.
Convey your heartfelt apologies to the baby that was aborted, and after vowing 'never to repeat the same mistake,' set new life goals and live brightly for the future.
If parents have the correct faith and knowledge of the afterlife, the probability of the child returning to heaven increases.

In Happy Science, we recommend receiving water baby memorial services and special rituals such as 'Three-Day Repentance Ceremony' and 'Secret Method of Past Settlement'—special initiations.
The light of Buddha's forgiveness and salvation will be directed, allowing both parent and child to regain peace of mind (for more details, please contact your nearest Happy Science temple open_in_new).

It may take some time to recover, but reflecting on what was needed and applying it to your future life is important.

Happy Science has scriptures aimed at young souls, including those lost due to abortion, miscarriage, stillbirth, or children who died shortly after birth, as well as those who passed away before they could understand.
