A karmic perspective is helpful in dealing constructively with spontaneous miscarriages and choosing for or against elective abortion. The grief and inner conflicts accompanying both of these events can be put into perspective and resolved in a more enlightened way with the information provided by karmic therapy or voice dialogue work with the unborn child. Both Right to Lifers who claim abortion is murder and liberal Free Choicers who insist on a woman’s right to determine what happens to her own body, come what may, are responding to intense emotions that may be based on rigid belief systems and have nothing to do with the specific karmic purposes served for child and mother by the pregnancy. Karmic Therapy reveals that the spirits of the infant and the mother make an agreement before conception occurs based on the previous karmic relationship and planned life lessons of both. That does not necessarily mean that the pregnancy is always intended to progress to full term and a successful birth every time. The fanatic who pickets or bombs the abortion clinic doesn’t realize that some souls intentionally incarnate very briefly with no expectation of being born at that time. Likewise, if there is an accidental miscarriage, as happens spontaneously in 10% of first pregnancies, the child has a choice to incarnate later, either in the same or a different womb, and no lasting damage has been done. Miscarriage and abortion may or may not be appropriate events, depending on karmic circumstances. When a woman chooses to have an abortion because of conflicts about bearing a child that is really intended to be hers to raise at that time, there can be serious karmic repercussions for her. Consider some examples. Matthew recalled his accidental miscarriage in the first trimester as a painless spinning sensation, like swirling down a bathtub drain. He returned to the spirit world and met with his spirit guides to decide what to do next. His guides told him that he could choose to try again with the same mother or wait a thousand years for conditions to be right again for setting up the lessons planned for this lifetime. Matthew chose to return to the same mother and was born two years later. Rachel was intensely ambivalent about bearing and raising children, a task thqt was expected of girls in her family but conflicted with her deep desire to be free and to lead a more bohemian artistic life rather than settle into a conventional marriage and family lifestyle. When she became “unintentionally” pregnant , Rachel had to stop sitting on the fence about this issue and make a clear choice to follow her bliss or else succumb to her family conditioning and be unhappy. Rachel chose to have an abortion, then felt depressed and guilty about it afterwards. She came into therapy to resolve her feelings and move on. Voice dialogue with the spirit associated with her aborted embryo revealed that it was none other than one of her guides who had agreed to incarnate briefly just to provide Rachel with the challenge of taking responsibility for choosing her own life path. The pregnancy was never intended to go to term. Rachel was able to drop her guilt once she realized it was based only on the residue of her family’s expectations and not on a transgression against a child she needed to bear or a betrayal of a true destiny that she had been selfishly resisting. Sarah found herself in a similar position but received a very different message from the unborn child. This proved to be an enlightened being, a girl who understood even in the womb that she was coming into the world to help Sarah to let go of the tight control she maintained over her lonely life as a successful single business woman, to stop keeping up false appearances, and to learn to experience real love for the first time. Sarah was so moved by her encounter with her unborn daughter that she immediately decided to forego the planned abortion and face her fears about raising the child.
