Should Abortion Be Allowed?

Introduction

Society is usually divided between evil and good, wrong and right. Nevertheless, the

difference between these two perspectives is not normally self-evident or sometimes can be

taken lightheartedly. This paper will address one of the most polarizing subjects in society,

whether abortion ought to be allowed or not, and if so, on what basis. With this question posed,

individuals normally cover the entire strictness spectrum of either abortion condemning groups

or abortion supporting groups, advocate their stances regarding the arguments that they consider

concrete enough to win over their adversaries and win the debate. What are the questions to be

asked before judging abortion legality? This paper will address the moral status, embryology,

ethics, biology, and the ethical framework to procure an abortion. Procurement of abortion is

morally permissible and should be allowed constitutionally to give women the liberty of their

bodies.

(Borgmann & Weiss, 41) are abortion supporting individuals who defend the

procurement of abortion morally by concentrating on the key aspects of abortion. Their position

on the issue of abortion is pro-choice, pro-woman, pro-child, and pro-family. Some of their

arguments include the following;

Autonomy

Any grown woman is entitled to make her own decisions, and she must be ready to live

with the repercussions. Not the government, and nobody else has the right to force a woman to

incubate a child in her body if she does not want to (Borgmann & Weiss, 42). The choice of

continuing with a pregnancy is too intimate and too critical that only she can decide what to do

with her body. In day-to-day activities, women and men make decisions that impact their life

either positively or negatively. They choose to join the army, donating bone marrow or kidneys,

whether to decline to donate blood that could save a life, among other several decisions that

involve life and death situations. Only a minority questions the adults' autonomy to make certain

decisions, although some individuals end up criticizing the decisions made. Yet, abortion

condemning groups demand a different standard of governing women's choice on whether to

carry on with the abortion process.

Viability

The distinction between a human and a nonhuman can be based on viability. Before the

fetus reaches the age of several months, it can be considered nonviable, and this means that the

fetus cannot live by itself but apart from inside its mother's womb (Noonan, 126). To some

extent, its life relies largely on the mother's life. This dependency makes the fetus be denied

recognition as a human being. The opposing side may counter this by pointing out that with the

technology of artificial incubation, then the fetus can be viable at any given moment since it can

be removed and sustained. The hypothetical extreme here is linked to difficulty; there is

substantial elasticity to the viability idea. Mere life length cannot be the exact measure. Fetus

viability depends largely on its functional and anatomical development (Noonan, 126). The

fetus's size and weight may be used as a guidance to its development state rather than the age,
