Abortion from the vegan perspective

Vegans have different views on the question of abortion, so it's best practice to ask the vegan you're talking to what their views are.

Generally speaking, vegans prioritise sentient life over life simpliciter, so some vegans would claim that abortion is wrong once the foetus is sentient, which occurs at 19-24 weeks of life, although some research claims that the structures allowing sentience are in place, but the foetus is unconscious and cannot feel pain. Others would prioritise the well-being of the sentient person who is pregnant over the foetus even once the foetus is sentient, since pregnancy to term leads to extreme changes to the pregnant person's body, can lead to death, and if not a wanted pregnancy - is torture to remain pregnant, since it violates consent.
