PHIL 1200 Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Therapeutic Abortion, Miscarriage, Fetus
Document Summary
There is always more than two sides to an issue, people who believe in abortion, people who think it"s immoral, and people who don"t care. A woman has a right to her body. When mary got pregnant, she had jesus so we should not kill fetuses because life begins at conception. When you don"t admit that life begins at conception, it will come back to haunt you in the fu- ture. So when you admit it, healing starts right there. Therapeutic abortion: when the fetus affects the mother and there is an issue with the preg- nancy. It is performed for the health of the mother. Selective abortion: (abortion on demand) is abortion when you want to have an abortion for personal reasons. Some places like china have abortions with female child"s until you have a male child. Partial birth abortion: abortion is had towards the end of pregnancy.
