Is the Bahai Faith Pro-Live?

Does anyone know when, why and how the Bahais began allowing members to be pro-choice? I declared 30 years ago, and they were definitely pro-life then! Baha'u'llah, when asked about rape once, said that (paraphrasing here) the woman thus victimized could not be forced to MARRY the rapist, but he did NOT say she could kill the unborn child. 'Abdu'l-Baha gave a long answer to the question of killing the unborn when he said (paraphrased, of course) that the soul and body are joined at conception and once conception occurs any interference with the life of the body was also interference with the progress of the soul connected to that body ; disrupting the life of the developing human at any stage from conception forward, was, in fact, the killing of a human being. (I did not say it, 'Abdu'l-Baha did) Abortion is clearly recognized in the Cause as the killing of a human being, and the killing of a human being , regardless of their location, is prohibited in the Cause except in cases of self-defense. A Bahai wrote the Guardian of The Faith in 1939 asking whether abortion was permitted and the Guardian responded "The practice of abortion -- which is absolutely criminal as it involves the deliberate destruction of human life -- is forbidden in the Cause" , The Universal House of Justice does not have the authority to abrogate the teachings of Baha'u'llah or to change the interpretations of 'Abdu'l-Baha , but they do have the authority to regulate the question of what constitutes a self-defense killing of an unborn child (ie: abortion for valid medical reasons: the emphasis being on the word "valid" because only reasons of self-defense are "valid" in the holy law.) Therefore; The House of Justice said "Abortion merely to prevent the birth of an unwanted child is strictly forbidden in the Cause." Yes, they said "STRICTLY FORBIDDEN" and I do not find anywhere that they have changed that statement. They have also said "Birth control procedures which allow the ovum to be fertilized but do not permit the fertilized ovum to develop are thus not permissable..." The fertilized ovum MUST be allowed to develop and the feotus is one of the stages of that development. In fact, we are all "developing fertilized ovums" until the day we die. Does it make sense that the fertilized ovum is protected, but the subsequent stages of its development are not? The right to live, according to all the holy law, comes into existence at conception and continues in 'full force' during every stage of our lives from that point onward. This is a divine reality (godly truth). Given the prohibition against elective abortion clearly stated by the Guardian and the House of Justice, and the clear prohibition against abortion in the holy law which Bahaullah did not abrogate.................can anyone tell me where this idea has come from: that a Bahai can accept elective abortion (ie: be pro-choice) without being at variance with the divine reality? Bahais are required to speak to moral issues and to act in defense of the divine reality , to stand up for the helpless, the unwanted,the uncared for in the world. The question of whether God protects human life from conception is one of those divine realities and the unwanted unborn are among those helpless whom God has commanded us to protect on His behalf. We are to emulate the world of God, not the world of man. Rejection of the divine reality is separation from God and to Bahais, Hell. So, when did Bahais begin advocating against the sanctity of life and the divine reality? Is this true that Bahais can actually advocate for abortion or is this a misunderstanding of some kind? ....and don't tell me killing unborn children is political so Bahais don't talk about it. This is a moral question not a political one and we can't make it go away by calling it 'political'. We talk about war and peace all the time, and they are far more political than abortion! Bahais must seek the divine reality for themselves, true, and if they choose sin (ie: dispute the divine reality), and they can, they have free will to do so, they have separated themselves from God and become Bahais "in name only". This freedom to choose between sin or the divine reality, however, does not mean that the faith promotes choosing sin or is benign to choosing sin (ie: choosing to act or believe at variance with the divine reality). Bahais are supposed to follow the light of the divine reality, not the lamp from which it may shine at any given time. The sanctity of human life from conception to natural death is the light of divine reality. Love, unity, peace and prosperity cannot be attained without first clinging to that divine reality. Does this light still shine from the lamp of Baha or has it moved elsewhere?
