Acharya Prashant addresses the global debate on abortion, emphasizing that the issue must be viewed through the lens of philosophy and responsibility rather than just legislation. He argues that both the mother and the fetus are life forms, but if a conflict arises where the mother does not wish to carry the pregnancy, a choice must be made. He points out the hypocrisy of states or religious institutions that claim the fetus's life is precious but refuse to take ownership of the child's upbringing. If the state insists on a 'pro-life' stance, it must be prepared to act as a foster parent, providing full care, nutrition, and education, rather than forcing an unwilling or incapable mother to bear the burden. He further explains that the mother's life and her decisions should hold primary importance. Acharya Prashant highlights that the true responsibility of a state is to provide high-quality education that empowers individuals to make mature and wise decisions. Once a woman is raised to be a capable adult, the state and society should respect her autonomy instead of dictating terms. He criticizes the use of legislation to cover up failures in social foundation and education. Furthermore, he dismisses religious arguments regarding the specific timing of a 'soul' entering the womb as unscientific and spiritually baseless, asserting that life is either present from the beginning or not at all.
