Devotee (1): Śrīla Prabhupāda, what happens to the soul when you have an abortion, though? Where does it go?
Prabhupāda: Goes to another body. Dehāntara. Tathā dehāntara-prāptiḥ (BG 2.13). If you do not allow him to this body, he goes to another body. Just like if you drive me from this apartment, I must go somewhere. I must find out another apartment. It is not that I am finished. You force me to go out of this apartment. So I go to a friend's house or anywhere, I must go.
Devotee (1): Would that also be due to that soul's karma, that he has gone from being aborted on to another body?
Prabhupāda: Not necessarily, but you create a karma. You are responsible for that.
Hari-śauri: So it's not necessarily that he's receiving some sinful reaction from past work that he's not allowed to enter.
Prabhupāda: That may be, but you are responsible for that. Because you are driving me from this apartment by force. Actually, in a higher sense, that is accepted, that he was to be driven away. But because you are driving, you are responsible for that.
