"Don't kill your children out of fear of poverty; God will provide." Islam does not condone abortion.
As in don’t kill your physical children the way they used to. Refer to hadith in both sunni and Shi’a sources and you’ll see that abortion is definitely permissible.
The question is still “are the unborn children?”. What exists in Islam? The issue is nebulous in Jewish and Christian thought. An interpretation of scripture is possible, though, which suggests that the pre-born are with God, i.e. not alive. It is further possible to take a reading that the primal element of life (not just for humans) is breath. This is one of two ideas in competition throughout the Bible’s writing. It was eventually supplanted, for the most part, by a belief in blood.
