Abortion
(3) Under what conditions do you think abortion is morally justifiable? Include discussion on the status of the fetus and arguments from both sides of the debate.I believe in the right of a woman to terminate a pregnancy before fetalviability and later if it is of harm to the life of the mother. In this essay I will argue that in some cases it is in the best interest of the mother and fetus if a pregnancy is terminated. Various factors such as medical complications, fetal abnormalities, tragic events such as rape or incest, lack of money and teenage pregnancy are valid reasons for a woman to choose to have an abortion. I believe that third trimester abortions should be limited to cases of severe fetal abnormalities or when the life or health of the pregnant woman is seriously threatened. I will argue that the well being and freedom of the individual includes the personal control of one's own body. In this essay I will endeavor to expose the views of both the pro-life/anti abortionists the pro-choice abortionists and identify the most plausible. I will also explore the moral status of the fetus during the various stages of development and discuss how this impacts on the morality of abortion.
In keeping with the intuitions of defenders of mercy-killing, his criterion does not rule out euthanasia and unlike many pro-choice criteria, his criterion makes infanticide wrong. (8)(9) Banning abortions will drive the practice underground once more. As a result, about 2500 women died each year from abortion complications, accounting for nearly one in four maternal deaths. Historically, attitudes about abortion and the moral status of a fetus have fluctuated. Like the prohibition of any popular substance or service, the demand will ensure its availability through other channels. Pro-choice argumentsPro-choice campaigners say that a necessary condition for a living organism to become a human being is for mental activity which is associated with thought and mind. It would seem that anti-abortionists who hold this belief do not approve of abortion for strange reasons, perhaps as a kind of punishment for the woman who fell pregnant rather than an innate belief in the right to life of a potential human. asp(11) "A Defense of Abortion", Judith Javis Thompson. It develops after the fourth or fifth month of pregnancy. If people who hold this belief see abortion as murder yet approve of the practice under certain circumstances, then they must hold that murdering an innocent child is sometimes permissible.
