Abortion And Orí: In the case of an abortion what happens in relation to ORÍ?

Spirit TATA ABEL: Abortion within the Yorùbá tradition is very frowned upon. Because it is not even another person, it is you the one that is cutting the path and Destiny of the ORÍ –Consciousness of another being, that is not even you who is the owner, even if it is inside your belly, it does not belong to you … (Belongs to OLÓDÙMARÈ – GOD)
They ask: What happens if he dies in the process of gestation? Already there the Orí of that being intervenes and the Orí of all the people around intervene, lending themselves to that situation to be.
They ask: Is the fate of such a person already determined?
Tata Abel: Yes. Now comes the sumptuous part …
They ask: When is a medical abortion?
Tata Abel: It depends on the circumstances. When it is done without conscience there is no sin, but when it is done with awareness there is sin. Remember that for the Yorùbá there are no “Sins” as such, what does exist is the act of denigrating your ancestors (Égúngún) with your actions, it is not a sin as such, in fact, it is even more responsibility than a sin, because not only are you, but your ancestors who come after you that you are denigrating by that action.

Therefore, if there is a medical order and there is no awareness of all this, that is called innocence. When there is a conscience, the first thing that has to be done is to ask IFÁ not in a dogmatic sense, because Ifá can determine that your Orí says that here your life ends so that you give life to another person. That is where the part of supplication and prayer enters into action. Why do we have the Òrìşà deities and Irunmole? Ifá is determining in this example that my Orí is over and that I have to give life to another being. But if I attach myself to Ifá and beg Ifá, because that being will also need me. Then Ifá will say; “It’s okay. Then, what is there to be done? Change your destiny, because changing your destiny you are going to change the destiny of the other person as well. Ifá will indicate an ẸBỌ / Sacrifice to be done and some life tests so that it has a fulfillment at the end.
