Even the cases pertaining to rape also have different anti-abortionists views. Many anti-abortionists believe that the child can actually help the mother get through turbulent times in her life, by providing each other with a loving environment (Roleff 130). Finally when it comes to financial situation, pro-life activists believe that having an abortion due to economic reasons is ridiculous. It does not guarantee that the child will have a life full of isolation and depression. They argue that there are numerous governmental aid and welfare programs for such families. .
Others don't go so deep into detail, they plainly believe that the act is immoral therefore wrong and hence shouldn't be allowed. But what is morality? .
Morality is about our attempt to make free and intelligent choices Morality is about our struggle to achieve the full humanity, which we are invited but not forced to embrace Morality is about our attempt to sort out what we ought to do with this freedom in the areas of our character, actions, and communities (CCC 9).
.
So, if a family is in an unstable financial state permitting conditions unsuitable for a child, then abortion should be a viable option. Otherwise, the child would be born into a life of suffering, and inadequate living conditions. This belief is based upon the fact that having an abortion is an alienable right of women. By outlawing abortions, women aren't allowed to practice their freedom of choice. Women are being denied their constitutional rights. Many pro-choice activists also state that abortion is justifiable, because at the time of fertilization the ensuing embryo is not yet a human being (Roleff 40). It is not a human being, but a potential one. Therefore its death does not constitute murder.
When it comes to congenital defects as a reason for abortion. That is, a child born with a condition like Down's syndrome will tend to live a life full of suffering and in other cases might die after birth, if not be a still birth.
