Ruling On Aborting A Pregnancy In The Early Stages In Islam by balash(m): 10:32am On Nov 04, 2016
Praise be to Allaah.  
The Council of Senior Scholars issued the following statement: 

1 – It is not permissible to abort a pregnancy at any stage unless there is a legitimate reason, and within very precise limits.  

2 – If the pregnancy is in the first stage, which is a period of forty days, and aborting it serves a legitimate purpose or will ward off harm, then it is permissible to abort it. But aborting it at this stage for fear of the difficulty of raising children or of being unable to bear the costs of maintaining and educating them, or for fear for their future or because the couple feel that they have enough children – this is not permissible. 

3 – It is not permissible to abort a pregnancy when it is an ‘alaqah (clot) or mudghah (chewed lump of flesh) (which are the second and third periods of forty days each) until a trustworthy medical committee has decided that continuing the pregnancy poses a threat to the mother’s wellbeing, in that there is the fear that she will die if the pregnancy continues. It is permissible to abort it once all means of warding off that danger have been exhausted. 

4 – After the third stage, and after four months have passed, it is not permissible to abort the pregnancy unless a group of trustworthy medical specialists decide that keeping the foetus in his mother’s womb will cause her death, and that should only be done after all means of keeping the foetus alive have been exhausted. A concession is made allowing abortion in this case so as to ward off the greater of two evils and to serve the greater of two interests.

Islam has the perfect solution for all human problems. While one group is too rigid to consider abortion even at the extent of loosing the mother's life, the other feels they shall be able to terminate a life at their will just because it's inside them.
Moderation is the best and Islam offers just that on abortion and on every other human problem.
God bless you OP, Juma'at Mufeedah.

If one sincerely reads extensively on Islamic rulings on abortion, no one will dare to do it

Safe to say, there is nothing like unwanted pregnancy as we know it

Islamic scholars really need to educate Muslims on it at public lectures,

JazaakumuLlaahu khairan.

Google and read "Islam and civilization", you will understand how Muslims had contributed and still contributing to civilization in positive way. In as much as I abhor violence which is the Islam's stand on terrorism and the semblance, we all knew the role of world power and media in painting a dog black in order to hang it. You beat a child, the child cries and your are still complaining the child cries.

Islamophobia is the word. Open your hearts and minds and see if you. Don't get converted. Islam is peace. Islam condemn all acts of violence.
