Abortion is one of the most highly controversial and divisive issues facing our society today, with people’s physical safety and even their lives being on the line.  As the country is divided between pro-choice and pro-life belief systems, there seems to be no real way of reconciling these two polar opposite viewpoints.

In this writing, I will look at abortion from a different perspective that is rarely, if ever written about – a karmic perspective.  What are the karmic ramifications of an abortion?  How does abortion affect our future, not just in this incarnation, but future lifetimes as well?  What might be the karmic plan regarding an abortion?  With these spiritual complexities in mind, I will try and offer the many varying karmic possibilities in a non-judgmental way regarding this most emotionally charged issue.  In addition, I will shed light on what the varying karmic plans might be between the souls involved regarding pregnancy, miscarriage, and birth. 

Before a pregnancy happens, there has already been a karmic plan for it to occur between all of the parties involved.  This karmic plan occurs on the other side, before anyone has been born into the physical lifetime where the pregnancy would occur.  It involves the father, the mother and the soul that may be born into a physical body.  This plan may also include an adoptive parent or stepparent as well as any family members and / or friends who would be connected to this potential birth and the physical life that may follow.

As with any karmic plan, there are unlimited possibilities as to exactly what an agreement may entail.  Just as we can have any number of contracts between human beings in our earthly lives, any number of variables can exist in a karmic plan between all of the parties involved regarding the initial pregnancy and what comes after. 

It all depends on what the lessons involved are as well as the choices that are always present all the way up until the actual birth happens.  Even still, it must be noted that these plans from the other side are not written in stone.  Before incarnating, everything appears to look easy, as if one will come into the physical world, live up to their agreements, zip through all of their lessons and triumphantly return back home to spirit.  However, when one is stuck in the limitations of a physical body and the restrictive housing of the personality, it can BE very different. 

Frequently, once on earth, people are not able, or do not feel that they are able to live up to the agreements made on the other side. Therefore, there are many possibilities as to how the karmic plan will actually be implemented and executed.  Below, I would like to break down the different karmic possibilities regarding pregnancy, birth, miscarriage and abortion.

The most simple and clear-cut example of a karmic plan on the other side regarding a child being born is where all parties agree to a pregnancy, which is to be concluded by a birth in the physical world.  Then, when the actual pregnancy takes place, it is followed through with the birth of the child.  Here, it is quite simple as to what has been planned and what was carried out.  In certain instances, though, before the actual birth occurs, there could possibly be a miscarriage.  Let’s look at the many variables regarding karmic plans involving a miscarriage and why it might happen.

Sometimes a karmic plan is agreed to where a miscarriage will occur.  You might ask, why would this be pre planned?  Because the soul may be agreeing to come back and forth to the fetus from the other side to practice attaching itself to its physical body, which is in preparation to eventually be born.  As it is quite traumatic for a soul to be born (where you have to dumb down from knowing and seeing to starting from the beginning again as an infant), it is not at all easy to do.  Often, a soul may be preparing to get used to the birth process again.  Since all of us have reincarnated countless times already, certain souls may have come to dread the process of birth, death and rebirth.

In addition, a karmically pre planned miscarriage can teach us certain lessons such as:  Loss, disappointment, sadness, guilt and other emotions that may need to be learned on a spiritual level by the parties involved for reasons of growth.

A miscarriage that is not a karmic plan can occur through many negative, careless and destructive choices.  What if the father was reckless and too sexually aggressive with the mother?  How about if the mother was using alcohol, drugs, or engaging in wild behavior?  What if the mother was not seeking the proper medical care?  All of these choices could cause a miscarriage to occur that was not a karmic plan.

Stress in any area of living:  Finances, career, health, family, as well as the tension created by the father treating the mother badly can also create a miscarriage.  I have had many female clients who were pregnant and lost the baby due to the difficulty of all they were going through with the father. 

Sometimes, the mother is so totally stressed out during a pregnancy, that she would boldly proclaim, “I want this pregnancy to come to an end.  I don’t want this baby,” which can facilitate a miscarriage to occur.  Let me say, however, that in no way am I trying to suggest to any woman who has had a miscarriage, that somehow she was responsible for it, or perhaps created it.  I am just pointing out that sometimes an intense desire to end a pregnancy can cause the body to carry out such a powerful request.

In these above-mentioned instances where a karmic plan did not exist for a miscarriage, there would potentially be negative emotions.  This would be experienced by those connected to the miscarriage such as the parents, the soul on the other side and other family members / and or loved ones connected to the pregnancy.  Also, there can be a karmic consequence.  If negative karma is created, it would need to be evaluated and looked at specifically as to determine the consequence by the lords of karma (the spiritual forces that oversee, regulate and govern karma in the physical plane).

Beyond miscarriage, is the hot button issue of abortion (which from a karmic and spiritual perspective), is not the clear cut black and white, right or wrong choice that it has often been portrayed to be by people with strong opinions.  In any situation where an abortion occurs, one must look at the karmic plan, which as established above, can literally be anything. 

If a karmic plan is for a pregnancy to occur concluding with giving birth, yet an abortion is chosen, it would create karma.  However, that karma would depend on several variables:  Was the woman under unusual stress?  Did this woman know any better at the time?  What were the extenuating circumstances that contributed to the abortion?  How much financial difficulty was going on at the time?  Did the father, family or others push the mother into making this choice?  Did this woman simply feel that she couldn’t handle a baby and made the best choice she knew how to at the time?

A birth is precisely timed in the spirit world before it occurs (which would be seen by the natal astrology birth chart). Also, since the parents and potential child have a karmic plan that is specific unto them, it may take a while for the time, place and circumstances to be spiritually correct for the unborn child to have another chance to be born after an abortion.  This can take years, decades, and possibly even centuries.

It is not as if the proper circumstances are mix and match:  Subtracting one set of parents and adding a new one, interchanging different social settings as well as brand new family and friends – as a karmic plan is specific to all of the parties involved, including the timing and circumstances.  Why?  Because it is all designed for the stage to be set for the appropriate karmic and dharmic lessons to be learned by all of the parties involved.  It would be like planning a movie with: The leading actor and actress, the budget, director and producer, the extras, the time to shoot the film, the location, etc.  How easy is that to recreate?

However, I have felt the following scenario in many readings:  A woman has an abortion or abortions and then gives birth within a few years after the abortion or abortions.  In some of these instances, I have psychically picked up that the soul who was trying to come into this world where the pregnancy or pregnancies were aborted, came back and was born through a latter pregnancy.  Often, the circumstances are still compatible with the original karmic plan; therefore, all parties are given another chance to still complete the karmic plan.  (This same exact scenario can also apply to miscarriages, where the soul trying to come in was not able to because of a miscarriage or miscarriages, and subsequently is born through a successful pregnancy and birth.)

Sometimes the karmic plan as to whether or not to have an abortion is open to options that are not to be decided until the time of the physical pregnancy.  These choices may be tough decisions and are karmically supposed to be left up to the mother and all involved parties – here, there is no clear cut right or wrong.  There may be no preset conclusion in the karmic plan as to what the decisions are to be, but the lessons are for the parties involved to do whatever is “right” for them at the time.

In the cases of rape and incest, the karmic plan may be to make the decision regarding abortion after the pregnancy has actually happened.  Part of the lesson may be for the mother and the involved parties to decide if a baby born through rape or incest would be the right choice.  Would there be birth defects from incest and if so, how serious would they be?  Could the mother or other family members love this child conceived under such difficult circumstances?

In another situation where there might be genetic defects such as Down syndrome, what choice would be appropriate?  Also, if the life of the mother was legitimately in danger, that would factor into the choice regarding a possible abortion.

In some instances, the karmic plan may actually be for an abortion to occur.  With lessons, it is not always what appears pleasant or “nice” to us as human beings, but what needs to be learned on a deep spiritual level.  What if the lesson was for the mother to feel loss (a lesson of losing what one wants) and the unborn baby to have to wait (a lesson of patience) to come into the physical world?   What if the mother was to have an abortion to learn to feel regret, so that later down the road, she would conceive and give birth?  Or perhaps, if the mother and other parties needed to learn the value and appreciation of life, an abortion may teach that lesson. 

With pregnancy, miscarriage, abortion and birth, the question needs to be asked, “When does life actually begin?”  Metaphysically, life is considered to begin at the point of conception; however, the soul does not immediately enter the mother’s body when the sperm meets the egg.   It is throughout the pregnancy that the soul travels back and forth from the other side to the mother, preparing for the tremendous trauma of being born again and getting used to the sensation of being an infant.  It is a conditioning process, much like an astronaut who puts themselves through rigorous training to prepare to do something quite unnatural – to travel into outer space. 

As we are far more in our natural state of being in the spirit world, coming into a body with its physical limitations and personality restrictions is tremendously difficult to do.  So with this training process, the soul prepares to be born.  Right before the birth, the soul permanently enters the baby’s body, in preparation for the conclusion of the pregnancy, its process and ultimately, birth.

With abortion, we’ve established that it may be chosen in spite of a karmic plan to give birth, left up to the parties involved where the decision is to be made at the time of the actual pregnancy; or a karmic plan where the abortion is pre-agreed to.   Yet, the question remains, is there a black and white solution regarding abortion?  For instance, should the government legislate its opinion regarding abortion for one and all to abide by, or is abortion a matter of personal karma, which some would refer to this as personal choice? 

Abortion is clearly a matter of personal karma – meaning that it is the karma of the partied involved, not a matter of every abortion being right or wrong.  Even if an abortion creates karma, which in certain instances it does, it is still the karma of the parties involved and based on individual choice.  In the short of it, a government is not here to tell people what to do regarding their own karmic choices as this is not a government based issue.  Whatever the repercussions are, they are to be experienced by those who have made the choices.  Abortion is not a societal karma, meaning that all of society must abide by the same standard or viewpoint.  It is interwoven into all of the parties’ choices, repercussions, karma, dharma, evolution and growth.

Just as some doctors perform abortions and some don’t, it is a matter of their personal karma and beliefs.  However, many in the world feel that abortion is always murder – plain and simple.  These people try to superimpose their own personal religious beliefs onto everyone else.  Since everyone is not spiritually supposed to be of the same religion or belief systems as we are all on different paths (with all pathways leading back to God), some people will stop at nothing to end abortion. Bombing of clinics, murdering of doctors who practice abortion, websites listing these doctor’s home addresses to promote attack and attempts at reversing Roe V. Wade are all done by those who can only see things from one point of view.  Here, they are indeed creating negative karma themselves.  Even though they believe their violent choices to be righteous and supremely justified, they refuse to accept anyone else’s perspective, based on their strong religious convictions.  We must all learn to co exist, even with those who are diametrically opposed to our way of thinking, believing and living.

Regarding an actual abortion, the question would be posed as to how would the soul on the other side connected to an abortion react to this choice?  Depending on the lessons involved and the choices made, many variables occur regarding how a soul would experience this choice.

??First, with contraception, would the soul on the other side experience anything at all, as contraception precedes conception, which is where life begins.  The sperm plus the egg equals conception, which begins life.  The soul of a child on the other side plus the biological fetus equals a baby.  With contraception, the potential negativity that can be experienced through abortion is alleviated for the soul on the other side. 

Some feel that contraception should not be used whatsoever.  This idea was established at a time when the world population was dramatically less than it is now, and where perhaps there was a fear of human extinction.  In today’s culture, contraception can be quite positive, as the world is overpopulated, plus the soul on the other side is not actually connected until the point of conception.  With the morning after pill, whatever feelings a soul may experience from an abortion are greatly diminished.  Why?  Because the connection to the mother and the birth process had just started – therefore, there is far less attachment involved.  The longer the pregnancy occurs, the more connected the soul becomes to being born – so the abortion has the potential of being more intense and traumatic.  Certainly, contraception greatly diminishes the potential of the karma that can be created by an abortion. 

When an actual abortion occurs, it is hardly just a matter of the act that terminates the pregnancy; then all is done and over with.  There is often a tremendous and far-reaching emotional aftermath, especially for the mother.  (Although, conversely, abortion is the most prominent form of birth control in Japan, where it is considered commonplace.)  However, in America, it is much more of a volatile and emotionally charged issue, as we all know.  In fact, abortion may be the single strongest issue that divides this country:  politically, socially and religiously.

My experience as a psychic, has given me quite an up close and personal viewpoint of what women have emotionally been through after an abortion, as many have shared their experiences with me regarding the abortions they have had.  I have heard countless stories from women of just how haunted they had been through an abortion or abortions, often ones that happened decades ago.  “Jim, my baby would now be 15 years old.  I’ll never know my child, because I had an abortion,” a client sobs.  “I’ve had four abortions Jim, so how could you say that I am a good person?  I deserve to be punished forever buy God,” another client exclaims!  “I wish I would have never had an abortion because now, there’s nothing I can do to change it or fix it,” another client explains.

With these emotions, one needs to look at the tremendous complexities that are involved in such a choice as abortion.  Serious questions need to be asked:  How young was the woman at the time?  Did she know any better?  Has she learned from this choice?  Through her choice, has she been able to assist others, because she has grown herself?  Did the father try and force her into the abortion?  If it was one abortion, it can be seen as a “mistake,” where one moves on to future choices that they feel better about.  If there have been multiple abortions, the woman needs to ask herself what difficulties was she going through at the time.  What repetitive behavior patterns were present at the time?  Was her family history abusive?  Was there an alcohol or drug problem that contributed to this choice?  Were there serious emotional or mental issues in play at the time of the abortions?  As life is not black or white, certainly abortion isn’t either.  With understanding these often very complex interpersonal structures, we begin to achieve the real task at hand, which is – letting go, moving forward and ultimately – forgiveness.

No matter what any of us have chosen (and abortion can be one of the most painful choices for a woman, often long after the fact), we must learn to forgive ourselves and release the burden to infinite spirit and divine love.  That great Bible phrase rings so true, “Let the person without sin throw the first stone.”  Are my choices any better than yours or vice-versa?  Of course not!  Who are any of us to judge others?  But beyond that, who are any of us to even judge ourselves? We do the best we can, we learn from whatever we’ve chosen, and hopefully, we move on to more enriched and positive journeys!  That is all any of us can do – and it is good enough.

It is important to know that none of us can ever truly know what the karmic plans are regarding pregnancy, miscarriage, abortion and birth – as those plans come together before we incarnate into this world.  There are countless variables and possibilities of what karmic lessons and spiritual plans can teach us.  However, none of us can prove what these lessons are or are not.  A psychic making a prediction is not proof of what the karmic plan may or may not be.  We will probably not really know the complete answers and the lessons that were agreed to until we are on the other side and can review the agreements, choices and consequences involved.  These answers will be given to us by the lords of karma and our master spiritual teachers, after we have crossed over into the light.

Even though we still are in this physical world, though, it is important that now – right now, we live in the light — the eternal light of hope, eternal blessings and divine forgiveness.  Whatever has happened regarding pregnancy, birth, miscarriage, or abortion  — no matter how horribly any of us have ever felt about our past choices or experiences, we now release it to the most profound and pure form of God’s undying and unconditional love for all of us, knowing that it has all happened for the highest good and that everything will be OK – eternally.
