From Rav Moshe Speaks: An Anthology of Talks by HaRav HaGaon Rav Moshe Sternbuch (1988):
"Judaism regards all forms of human life, from the time of fertilization of the egg until death, as life which may not be destroyed...
"Shabbos may only be desecrated if there is danger to life, yet it may be desecrated for a foetus less than 40 days old...
"The destruction of human life, created by the Alm-ghty, is strictly forbidden...
"These laws keep mankind on a high level of morality. Murder of the foetus may be a good solution for parents who want to rid themselves of a burden, but the foetus who suffocates and dies in the process of abortion cannot talk and express its feelings at being suffocated and murdered...
"Every human life has meaning and no person may, on his own, decide that the life of another is devoid of meaning and therefore expendable, even if that person is his or her own child."
