Spiritual Advice and Guidance Blog: Urantia Book: A Position On Abortion?

Q: The position on abortion please.

A: Thank you for your succinct question to Truthbook.com.
There is only one paragraph in The Urantia Book that mentions abortion which is found in the paper titled "The Dawn of Civilization" and that is:

"Many races learned the technique of abortion, and this practice became very common after the establishment of the taboo on childbirth among the unmarried. It was long the custom for a maiden to kill her offspring, but among more civilized groups these illegitimate children became the wards of the girl's mother. Many primitive clans were virtually exterminated by the practice of both abortion and infanticide. But regardless of the dictates of the mores, very few children were ever destroyed after having once been suckled--maternal affection is too strong. "(68:6.9)

However there is considerable material in the book describing the spiritual foundation of life and we know, for example, that when the life of a human being ends here they begin on the mansion worlds where they left off relative to spiritual development. Explanation regarding the mind circuits we use during our life here indicates that at conception a fertilized egg is connected with the mind circuits of both parents and remains so until about the age of 16 when the youth becomes a full-fledged individual separate and apart from their parents and no longer attached to their parents mind circuits. That leads one to believe that any aborted eggs or potential infants will again become the responsibility of the parents once both are on the mansion worlds where they can resume their parenting responsibilities.

In the overall scheme of things God has provided for the full development of every personality despite whatever the vicissitudes of life on a material world may bring. However, the guilt associated with an abortion will more than likely color the thoughts and dreams for the lifetime of those involved here.

Thank you again,

THE BOOK THE WORLD HAS BEEN WAITING FOR.

Rising from his deathbed Elijah proceeded to write down the oracle of God, as if in a trance the words just flowed onto the page, line after line, precept after precept, until it was finished, and then he rested and let the Spirit work.
Prepare the way. The definitive answer to the meaning of life; was born, a book that was nearly never written, because the enemy attacked most vehemently and it seemed fatally, but the higher principalities and power changed the seemingly tragic course to one of attainment and completion.
LOOK! Here is the book the only way you will know is if you see for yourself. And if you want to see, know this it is because you have been chosen to see the truth, the meaning of your very own life and world.

One critique who said, I do not as a norm refer to things spiritual or of any religion, after reading this book with all its scientific logic, find myself newly excited and looking forward to what is to happen next.

Another critique says: this is the book that every new Christian should read, in order to correctly let them see the beauty of being one with GOD.

Elijah says; there are thirteen basic keys to add and increase your wealth, each key operates and opens itself, and enables you to receive the next key of the kingdom of eternal bliss and that is by no effort of your own. These keys give you entrance into the eternal seven dimension creation of GOD.
The keys introduce you to GOD himself and reveal His beautiful name to your very innermost being.
Religion of all kind pales into the insignificance they all so richly deserve.

This purchase is an Investment into your soul, and is one of the most important investments you will ever make; I hope you are chosen to invest.

Love Elijah Benhyodhe
