The fifth commandment states "Thou Shalt Not Kill." While this applies to one person directly killing another, it also applies to act of aborting a fetus from a woman's womb. The Catholic Church teaches that all lives are of value to God, including unborn ones. Life begins, as the Church teaches, at the moment of conception which explains why receiving an abortion is violating the 5th commandment.
