The Pros And Cons Of Abortion

Abortion is the termination of the unborn. There are three different types of abortion spontaneous, therapeutic and elective. Spontaneous abortion is a miscarriage, therapeutic abortion is an abortion for medical purposes. Elective abortion is any other type of abortion that’s not spontaneous or therapeutic. Elective is the one that we’re concerned with.

On the matter of abortion the legal and moral aspects of it are completely different. The legal matter is the point that the state should intervene. The moral matter is whether the unborn deserves any moral consideration. Moral status is moral implications for how you treat particular things. An inanimate object does not possess a moral status, human beings and animals do.

The first is that an abortion is morally acceptable at any time and for any reason. The second is that an abortion is morally acceptable under most conditions. The third is that an abortion is almost never morally acceptable except under extreme conditions or circumstances. The last one is that an abortion is never acceptable under no reason. There are many arguments that have been made regarding abortion. I will give four examples of arguments that have been made. The first is the argument of “Potentiality”. Which states that every human being has a right of life. That the unborn is potentially a human being. Therefore, it has the right to life, making abortion immoral.

The second argument I’ll write on is the “bodily rights” argument. This argument states that every woman has rights and anatomy over her own body, the unborn being part of her body. Therefore, that the mother has the rights and anatomy over the unborn. Concluding that abortion is moral. The issue with this argument is whether or not the unborn rights are based solely on

This states that every human being has a right to realize their future, the unborn is a being. The unborn has the right to realize their future and abortion deprives them from it. Abortion therefore being immoral. The issue with this argument is that the future is uncertain, so these are assumptions.

When asked directly about the legality of abortion, 55% of adults in the U.S say that it should be legal in all cases, compared with 40% who say it should be illegal all of the time. In both cases, these figures have remained relatively stable for at least two decades.

Whether or not the unborn should be protected is an issue that people have different views on. Many people believe that life begins at conception. The people who argue that even the earliest form of life has the same rights as a human being, normally oppose abortion at any part of the pregnancy. Other people claim that the unborn is not a person until the time of birth. Such views, held by these people, suggests that the unborn has no rights to be protected. An in-between point of view maintains that the unborn rights begin at the point of growth, which is the point at which a fetus can survive outside the mother 's
