The on-going discussion on abortion changes in the present time, due to redefinition of the used terminology and a priori rejection of the personal status of an embryo, in accordance to the needs of relativistic and utilitarian ethics. The author presents main arguments in the discussion, concentrating mostly on the issue of animation time. In that context, he brings into attention dogmas of the Incarnation and of the Immaculate Conception reread in the spirit of Christian personalism. According to the presented interpretation only instantaneous (simultaneous) animation can be accepted. The author recalls the John Paul II so called moral dogma in Evangelium vitae encyclical letter, and suggests, that an acceptance of an abortion should be understood as a moral heresy, leading directly to dogmatic heresy - the actual rejection of the dogma of Incarnation of the Son of God and the dogma of Immaculate Conception.
