Yes, Hinduism (like many pantheist religions) does not have the concept of "Imago Dei", i.e. humans created in the image of God, endowed with a special dignity. Instead, it is an animistic religion, with divinity attributed to various animals (e.g. cows).
In this religion, there is no theological or doctrinal proscription against abortion on demand.

There are branches of “mainline protestantism” (e.g., Presbyterian Church USA) that actively approve of abortion.

WICCANs and Satanist hold the slaughter as a sacred cow tot her religions. Secular Humanism (the actual religion of the left in general) also considers the right to murder an innocent unborn CHILD a sacred cow.

There is in fact no religion in which abortion is condoned or encouraged. (Scientology, that routinely forces abortion on its members, is not a religion.)
However, a whole lot of nice religious people - Xtian and other - are naive or otherwise easily turned. They will not stand up to the Left because they are afraid of being “mean” or “intolerant.”

The United Church of Christ has been on board unrestricted abortion since 1973.

Abortion is considered to be a “rite of passage” to the new wokeism, the adoption of the “new way” of thinking that is supposed to control population, according to the “survival of the fittest” theories of Charles Darwin and Thomas Malthus.
Malthus’s observation that in nature plants and animals produce far more offspring than can survive, and that Man too is capable of overproducing if left unchecked. Malthus concluded that unless family size was regulated, man’s misery of famine would become globally epidemic and eventually consume Man.
Checking the growth of the family is easiest accomplished by killing the baby, preferably while still in the womb. Therefore, in this “new way”, it is a highly moral concept, and in the eyes of its practitioners, a highly desirable objective. Zero or even declining population level changes.
Only, it never works out that way. A lesson that has to be relearned every few years. Consider the cult of Moloch, based on child sacrifice, or ritualistic Baal worship, in which adults would gather around the altar of Baal. Infants would then be burned alive as a sacrificial offering to the deity.
Gruesome, but barbarism is never far from the minds of some.

In the '90s our local newspaper comments had some great debates. It was well moderated so trolls and screamers were quickly deleted. Finally one could actually talk with the left. They would often challenge pro-life with "What exactly is it in your CHRISTIAN religion that is against abortion?"
I would explain: Psalm 139:13 says "For You created my innermost parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb," which I understand in the pro-life context as Biblical confirmation of a real baby in the womb. But anyone from any religion or no religion can independently verify that information with
4D ultrasound. You don't need the Christian religion to understand that.
Also, Exodus 20:13 says "You shall not murder." However, most religions and people of no religion believe that murder is wrong independently of the Christian religion.
So 1. It's a baby. 2. Don't kill it" is something Christians believe in but most non-Christians also believe the same thing.
