| − | The moral debate behind abortion as a right to choice when the life of the mother or the best wishes for the infant are not in question has never been featured in any canon material. Whether or not twenty-fourth century culture would consider such an action to be inconsistent with their philosophy of respecting all forms of life has never been addressed. |

Abortion was a procedure in which a fetus was terminated within the mother's womb.
In 2153, the Triannon female Indava asked Doctor Phlox to terminate her pregnancy, as she did not want her child to become a soldier in D'Jamat's war. Phlox did not perform the procedure because he was not finished "studying their physiology." (ENT: "Chosen Realm")
In 2365, Deanna Troi became pregnant from a non-corporeal lifeform. Lieutenant Worf proposed aborting the fetus as it may have been a threat to the crew. Troi refused, and carried the child to term, which lasted just over a day. (TNG: "The Child")
In 2368, Geordi La Forge commented that had he been conceived on Genome colony, he would have been terminated as a fertilised cell due to his blindness. (TNG: "The Masterpiece Society")
