Paper Summary:

This paper reviews and discusses the controversial topic of abortion. According to the paper, people's opinions regarding abortion depend on their belief system, values and personal experiences. The paper then goes on to discuss the pro-choice or pro-life debate.

From the Paper:

"This is the first solid argument to sustain the moral impermissibility of induced abortion. Because having an abortion equals the death of a life growing inside, as a natural result of unprotected sexual intercourse. It is therefore considered that the new life, the fetus, did not have a choice. And having an artificial abortion furthermore deprives him/her of the right to chose (whether to live or not). So, if it's about the right to chose and the freedom to decide your own destiny, an intentional removal of a growing life is not and can never be the right answer. "
