You really can't say whether or not abortion is supported by religion or not, because there is no religious text that mentions abortion. It's not covered specifically by any religious rules, so it all depends on a person's interpretation of their religious laws. I think that there's no spiritual punishment for it, personally, because nowhere in my religious texts does it say that abortion is a sin. Abortionists aren't evil people. They're doctors providing a service, nothing more.

Give me a passage in a religious text that says abortion is wrong. Or that fetuses are children. A fetus before three months is a clump of cells with no physical or mental awareness. That's not a child. Nowhere in any religious text does it say abortion is a sin or evil. You can believe it's wrong, but believing something doesn't make it true. If you're asking me if I've ever had an abortion, that's an extremely personal question to ask a random stranger on the internet.
