[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is kinda false to say Islam supports abortion. It doesn’t and the Quran says do not kill your unborn for fear of poverty as God/Allah is the best of providers .

Now culturally, Muslims  (Arab Christians included) will quietly get abortions and  encourage an unmarried man or woman to schedule an abortion because it’s less of a scandal than being a single parent [/quote]

That is NOT what the Quran says. Here is the verse:

"Kill not your offspring for fear of poverty; it is We (God) who provide for them and for you. Surely, killing them is a great sin."  Qur'an 17:32

There is ZERO reference to unborn or fetus. Across all species, "offspring" is considered the born and the young of an animal (or human). Infanticide (very different than abortion) has been a historically common practice in many societies where poverty is rife, and that is quite clearly what the verse is referring to. In fact, the Quran makes zero references whatsoever to the unborn or fetuses.
