4/28/17 Running head: ABORTION IS MORALLY WRONG 2. In introducing the topic of abortion being a crime, it is best to understand the real meaning of
abortion which is the termination of any pregnancy which is basically accompanied by the death
of the fetus or the embryo. It can also be given another meaning that it is the expulsion of a
human embryo that has been induced. Some say that it is the killing of the unborn baby where
certain procedures are aligned and adhered to. These procedures are mainly done at the early
stages of the pregnancy according to the Merriam Webster Dictionary (2017.).
Although some do support it like the government, who legalized it in most places. There are
also the victims of incest, rape, and teen mothers who are all under the umbrella of the feminist
who’s claims it supports. On the other hand, pro-life supporters do have a great argument to
support on the issue of abortion being wrong and a horrible crime. The reason for pro-life
supporters is because they consider the choice of life over abortion, since there is a belief that
abortion is authentically wrong and unjust.
Morally speaking according to the moral ethics, abortion is bravely considered as a crime
which any one practicing it breaks the doctrines abiding moral ethics. It is good to understand
that the fetus or the embryo has feelings, emotions as it grows. Committing an abortion is like
killing someone hence it should be considered a murder case or a crime. However, most victims
who dedicate themselves to this act always experience guilt and a devastating shame as an
aftermath of the action.
All in all, from this discussion, it is a mistake when the victim suggests a difficult decision
when she wants to take the action since it is not obvious how a person should go about deciding
on what to do says Rachel in the virtue of ethics under Philosophical investigations, (J. Rachel
2017.) Running head: ABORTION IS MORALLY WRONG 3. Moral ethics indicates that every particular action contains severe or mild consequence hence
it is best for us as the fraternity of humanity to act in righteousness. In a clear and broad view, it
is best for us to know that abortion is wrong and a crime. It endangers the health of a person; at
times, it molds negative psychological effects.
Abortion is a willful murder, thereby the victims who are involved in it especially women
should be charged with murder under a syllogism which elaborates three main premises to show
that victims are killers. Major premise; which explains that killing next or another human being
is fully murder thus feticide and exceptions are court of law decisions, self-defense accident and
war. The second premise is the Minor premise which also suggests that abortion is the killing of
another human being and the final premise is the conclusion which says abortion is murder as per
Kennebec Journal & Morning Sentinel. (Kennebec 2017.)
Apart from that in the moral perspective it contradicts one’s convictions hence goes against
the Holy scriptures which says that “thou shall not kill” basically driven from the ten
commandments. Abortion from a human point of view it is projected as an image of reflection
to the mind that killing is wrong when one kills an innocent human being (fetus). Suppose a
person kills the fetus and it is known that the human life begins at conception then there is a
consideration that murder has been committed.
Fetus is a unique individual or a person who has rights and potential just like any other
individual, hence causing pain and suffering to the fetus and increasing the tolerance of killing is
ethically and morally wrong.
Just as in the week 4 essay it is real that abortion is morally wrong in support to the view of
universal right to life hence it is not proper for one to deprive any human being his or her right to Running head: ABORTION IS MORALLY WRONG 4. live. Therefore, fetuses deserve right to live but not denial of right to live. Therefore, it is best to
know and consider some of the three reasons that show that abortion is a crime and a wrong act
of morality which shows that virtue of ethics has been grounded look goes by Philosophical
Investigations. N.p, 2017. Reasons showing abortion is a crime and morally wrong:
The first reason that makes abortion to be morally wrong is that a person’s health is always at
risk whenever the victim or the mother of the child dedicates herself to the act. Majorly, the
victim can experience over bleeding after the act which endangers the life of the victim. The
worse part of the act to a woman’s life is barrenness; a victim can become barren which
contradicts the scriptural references that we should fill the earth as that is what human beings
were made for.
The risky part of this reason is whenever abortion is done and blood transfusion goes wrong,
there can be an occurrence of a viral hepatitis which possibly can lead to loss of life. Moral point
of view of abortion is extensively wrong as from loss of life; there is an indication of regrets and
psychological consequences which makes a person to be more remorse on their deeds.
The second reason that makes abortion to be morally wrong is that it is Immoral and Illogical.
By the fact of person’s irresponsibility, it makes most people adhere and resort themselves to
abortion. All the mal practices of prostitution, fornication, adultery and having unsafe or
unprotected sex, makes women, ladies and young girls to declare abortion as an answer to their
worries.
It comes as results of pregnant feminine gender don’t wish to be responsible at any given cost
on whatever they have committed. A great preference should stick, when biological or adoptive
parents of the babies declare responsibility and care to the babies. Promiscuity follows when Running head: ABORTION IS MORALLY WRONG 5. abortion is practiced hand to hand hence immorality is not ejected from this point, as the victims
will always be irresponsible and never ready to settle and start their families.
The third reason why abortion is wrong containing the aspect of Right to life which affirms
the biological continuity. Clarity is mostly seen when personhood always begins with the
conception then straight to birth. Biologically speaking there is no point that shows that a fetus
at any given point becomes a different or a contrary thing apart from a human being at the end.
Therefore, no biological point of distinction is drawn between adults and the embryos or fetus
conferring to adults. Conception is the only meaningful and greatest aspect in the development,
signaling the presence of moral worth. On the right to life the zygotes, embryos or human fetus
contains the moral status of a person to have the right to life. More sense is made when right to
life is granted to the fetus inside the womb that is indistinguishable from the newborns. Hence
any act of abortion doom the right to life of a fetus and objects the biological aspect of continuity
according to Telegraph .co. UK, N.p 2017.
From unit 5and 6 views like premature birth can be either actuated or unconstrained and
termed as an early labor clearly disagrees with my reasoning as any occurrence of abortion is
considered as murder and a wrong in the moral of ethics. Another view creating disagreement
with my reasoning in unit 5 essay is where there is the view remarking that an initiated abortion
birth is the mediation ousting an embryo from the uterus either to spare the life of the mother
(remedial fetus removal) or due to other individual reasons apart from fetal malady.
The type of idea hosted disagrees with the reasoning of right to life and biological continuity
hence both fetus and the mother has right to life not sparing one and letting the other to die. In Running head: ABORTION IS MORALLY WRONG 6. the utilitarian aspect in unit six essays, I disagree when J.S. Mill says that he prefers an abortion
to be done when the child would be a disadvantage to the parent.
Back in the Holy Scriptures in the book of Genesis 3-4 it is written that human beings were
meant to procreate and fill the earth, no point could suggest that the child born would be a
burden to the parent. Logical point of view when a child is to be burden which I oppose then no
marriage or intimacy should be between couples. Hence abortion should not create risk to the
status and health of a victim.
In conclusion of this theory, abortion is a real setback towards the moral ethics as it puts the
health of a victim to be at risk by causing death when there is a wrong blood transfusion causing
hepatitis. Also, abortion protrudes enhancement of immorality and an illogical sense. Here
people indulge themselves in fornication, adultery, prostitution and any other base of
promiscuity. All the mal practices reflecting immorality makes parents to avoid responsibility of the
children. It is very illogical when victims escape from their actions and declare abortion as a
‘remedy’ to their problems. Basically, the truth is that there is no child who applied for his or her
birth hence no choice for the parents but to be responsible and keep the child.
Biological continuity and right to life is necessary for fetus even though it is
indistinguishable from the new born. Personhood in a human cycle of life starts from conception
to birth which makes continuity of biology. Right to life should never be deprived from fetus as it
has the exact rights as a human being hence the issues discussed here are ethnically significant as
per Telegraph .co. UK, N.p 2017. Running head: ABORTION IS MORALLY WRONG 7. Abortion generally is a crime and a wrong act, since there is the denial of right to life of a fetus
causing death. Thereby the weakness of this theory is that right to life should be practiced as
fetus deserves right to life hence abortion should not be taken as a way of satisfying another
person’s want or need in reference to Philosophical Investigations. N.p, 2017. Running head: ABORTION IS MORALLY WRONG 8. References:
