Having an abortion due to studies and divorce I was married at 18 and immediately got pregnant. My husband divorced me shortly afterwards. He is not going to take responsibility for the child and I am still a student and supporting myself. I had an operation and need painkillers that are not good for pregnancy. Is it permissible for me to have an abortion? I am now in my 10th week of pregnancy. Answer It is permissible for you to have an abortion on the following conditions if: - It is [medically] determined that the continuation of pregnancy poses a risk to your health. - The fetus is deformed due to the medicine you have consumed. - The fetus has not reached 120 days. And God Almighty knows best.
