Ellen White did not use the modern term "abortion" directly in her writings, and there is no explicit, annotated statement from her that directly addresses the practice of abortion as it is understood today. However, her writings do address related issues such as the sanctity of life, the responsibilities of parents, and the violation of the sixth commandment ("Thou shalt not kill"). Some relevant points from her writings include: - She strongly condemned the taking of human life and considered any act that unnecessarily endangered or destroyed life as a violation of God's law (see: "violating the law which declares, 'Thou shalt not kill.'" MB 56.1; "unnecessary deprivation or excessive labor that tends to injure health—all these are, to a greater or less degree, violations of the sixth commandment." PP 308.5). - She spoke against practices that led to the degeneration of the race and the suffering of children, emphasizing the responsibility of parents to safeguard the health and well-being of their offspring. - She discussed the consequences of parents' actions on their children, including the impact of health, diet, and lifestyle choices, but did not specifically mention abortion as a practice. In summary, while Ellen White did not comment directly on abortion by name, her principles regarding the value of life and parental responsibility suggest a strong respect for the sanctity of life.
