Having an abortion is not necessarily a sin. However, according to scripture, abortion goes against God's will and is considered murder. Therefore, it may be viewed as a moral issue rather than a sin in the sense of damning someone to hell. Ultimately, it is up to each individual to make the decision that they believe is right in regards to their faith and beliefs.

The Catholic Church considers having an abortion a sin. Having an abortion goes against the church's teachings on respecting and preserving human life from conception to natural death. However, Church doctrine also recognizes that there are extenuating circumstances in which choosing to have an abortion may be allowed.
