Acharya Prashant addresses the complex issue of abortion by stating that, ultimately, the decision rests with the mother, unless her jurisdiction is overruled by law. He suggests that the more pertinent question is not about the act of abortion itself, but about the consciousness of the person making the decision. He contrasts how a mother with deep consciousness and self-awareness would decide versus an ordinary, unconscious, and materialistic mother. The core of the issue, he explains, lies in the quality of consciousness from which the decision originates. The speaker criticizes the tendency to treat abortion as an objective matter for public debate or consensus, pointing out that this approach has led to unresolved disputes across various cultures and countries for decades. He argues that abortion is not an objective issue but a deeply personal and subjective one. He highlights a societal hypocrisy: people are greatly concerned about the termination of a pregnancy but often ignore the quality of life a child will have when raised by an unconscious mother, which can ruin the child's entire life. This focus on the physical act, he says, stems from a body-centric worldview that overlooks the inner state of both the mother and the child. Acharya Prashant proposes that the entire discourse should shift from debating abortion to focusing on the education of the mother, and by extension, the father and society. This education is not merely academic but spiritual, aimed at fostering self-awareness. He asserts that if a woman is truly conscious, her very decision to become pregnant will be different. The issue of abortion, he says, is secondary to the more significant issue of how we educate our girls. If they are raised to be conscious and self-aware, they will have the clarity and wisdom to make the right decision for themselves, whether it is to carry a pregnancy to term or to terminate it. The fundamental responsibility, therefore, is to cultivate a conscious society and empower women with the spiritual insight to make their own choices.
