The way of life of a Sikh is defined in the Rehit Maryada of Guru Gobind Singh.

We do not have laws of the Siri Guru Granth Sahib in the same ways as the Catholics are dictated by the Church and the Jews by their laws.

I know of no mention in the Siri Guru Granth Sahib of anti abortion messages.

I do know that the soul does not enter the fetus until the 120 th day from conception.
