What is the ruling on abortion for a pregnant woman who is infected with AIDS?

Answer

It is not permissible, more so after the soul has entered the feotus. Of course, if continuation of the pregnancy poses a danger to the mother, it is permissible for her to abort it before the entering of the soul in the feotus, but not after it.
