Views On Abortion


            
             Abortion is considered to be one of the most controversial issues in the United States. Strong anti-abortion sentiments often clash with pro-choice advocates, creating a constant moral dilemma over the issue of abortion rights. Some advocates for abortion claim that the fetus is not a person or that a mother has the inherent, right to abort a pregnancy. The issue of whether or not a fetus is a person can never be settled. It is a moral question, not a scientific one. Each woman, therefore, must decide for herself whether or not her fetus is a person. Only a mother knows if she can handle the responsibilities that come with bearing a child. To force women to bear children is immoral. Is it moral to have children born into this world without responsible parents and sufficient resources?.
             There are many arguments concerning the topic of abortion. Some arguments for the moral permissibility of abortion depend on the claim that the fetus is not a person, and so does not have a right to life. Other arguments say that abortion may sometimes be permissible even if the fetus is a person, or even if the issue of whether the fetus is a person can never be settled.
             Quality is a major factor in the question of the morality of abortion. When parents decide to keep or not keep a baby the issue of adoption does not play into this. The reason for this is that once the baby is born that the parents may change their mind if they want to keep it. Parents must decide at the onset of the pregnancy to decide if they can in good conscience bring a child into the world, if the answer is yes, then people should proceed with the pregnancy and then determine whether they want to give the child up for adoption. It is a parent's moral responsibility to make sure that the environments, which the child will be brought into, will be healthy and supportive. It is a far greater crime to treat a child poorly for eighteen years then it is to terminate a fetus that cannot think, feel or is aware of its existence.
