Question: Your Eminence, a woman is in her sixth month of pregnancy, and the doctor advised her that the fetus will die soon, or that the fetus will be disabled after birth. The doctor advised her to have an abortion, in addition to the fact that the fetus's head is large in size. What is your opinion?
