Pro-Choice or Pro-Life?

Paper Summary:

This paper examines the philosophical and moral consequences of the choice to abort a child and leans to the pro-life side by arguing that it is morally harmful to terminate someone's life and alienate the opinions and role of the father in the act.

From the Paper:

"Utilitarianism is a theory that states action is perceived as right or wrong depending on the consequences of that action (Boss, 2004). Utilitarianism should not be considered because it fails to take seriously the distinction between persons. Different people have different needs and different goals. Utilitarianism alienates us from our personal responsibility for our actions, but also from our moral sentiments and conscience (Boss, 2004). It is hard to say whether we can say that not have an abortion is for the greater good of the community because in some cultures, like China it is not considered bad and is encouraged to keep the population down."
