Acharya Prashant addresses the complex issue of abortion by shifting the focus from objective legalities to the subjective consciousness of the mother. He argues that abortion is not an objective matter to be settled by law, religion, or medical science, but a decision that belongs in the domain of the mother. He emphasizes that the quality of the mother's consciousness is the most pertinent factor, as an unconscious mother can ruin a child's life even after birth, which society often ignores because it is overly body-centered. He suggests that instead of debating the legality of abortion, society should focus on the spiritual education and self-awareness of women, empowering them to make right decisions for themselves. He posits that a truly conscious individual is the only one rightly placed to decide on such nuanced matters, and external laws are often too general and universal to address the subtle dimensions of individual situations. He further explains that the termination of consciousness, whether in the womb or after birth, is fundamentally the same, but the rightness of the act depends on the consciousness behind it. He uses the analogy of a soldier or historical figures like Shri Krishna to illustrate that killing is not necessarily right or wrong in itself; rather, the intent and awareness matter. He challenges the idea that physical life is the ultimate test of morality, suggesting that depth of consciousness and illumination are more significant than mere numbers or biological existence. He critiques the fragmentation in modern thought, where people hold inconsistent views, such as being pro-life while consuming meat, and attributes this to a lack of spiritual integrity. Ultimately, he advocates for a society rooted in self-awareness where minimal external laws are needed because individuals are guided by the 'Law of Consciousness.'
