So if you are not a Christian then what is your basis for the
allegation that abortion is wrong?
You have to be a Christian to be against abortion? If you are
non-Christian are you automatically pro abortion? You're smarter
than that.

Fine, give me the basis on which one non-Christian religious
denomination opposes abortion and a source for their official
statement on the matter.


" It is quite clear from a variety of sources that abortion has been
severely disapproved of in the Buddhist tradition."

http://www.kusala.org/udharma/abortion.html

(a) That is not an official statement by any recognized spokesman for
Buddhism and
(b) the whole point of the document you linked is that abortion is
_acceptable_ under Buddhism under some circumstances.

Regardless, it's an opinion by someone whose relationship to Buddhism
is not at all clear.
