\begin{abstract}
Abortion is an accepted legal practice, in many countries, (Center for
Reproductive Rights 2016), but that does not mean that there are not
ethical implications which are being ignored. This article examines the
ethical consequences in the light of a new understanding of them: the
``infinite crime''. This variety of crime is one in which any given
action has infinite consequences of a negative nature. Several
motivations for elective abortion are considered individually with
regards to their ethics, in the light of this new definition of an
ethical crime. These include the desire for the freedom to be lazy; the
freedom to be materialist; the freedom of time and its subcategory the
freedom to create; and the freedom of movement. Furthermore, rape is
examined and the question considered as to whether it is an infinite
crime, and whether it is always a crime, at all, in a broader ethical
context. The Principle of the Immorality of Conception by Rape, is
defined. The issue of how to approach abortion in rape cases, is
addressed. Other reasons for abortion are weighed, including abortion
for reason of timing; abortion for reason of family sizing, abortion for
reason of genetic deformity and abortion for reason of incest. A new
value for human life is proposed. The implications for medicine and law,
of this new understanding of the ethics of abortion, are outlined.%
