I think that it would be good, if a priest wrote about this issue, since they have more authority on this issue.
Also for Catholic questions, I have no idea how to anwser them.
From what I have read, which is not enough, from Orthodox sources, abortion is never allowed. The reason seems to be because the church believes that life begins at conception through the Grace and Spirit of God.
Many fathers quote from the Bible. One example is when John the Baptist \"lept\" in Elizabeth's womb, when she embaraced the Theotokos. They also quote David in the Pslams when he says that God \"knew\" him in his mother's womb.
Elder Cleopa when a woman came to him in confession and confessed that she had had an abortion, he told her that she must refrain from taking communion for 20 years, and repent!
I have never read any Orthodox father that said abortion was ok, for any reason.
I could go into a lot m ore information, but that is for another post, at another time.
