Personal and communal ethics that determines the moral positions

Fetuses are human beings who are innocent and have done no wrong to deserve the decision to kill them. Therefore, it is very wrong to have them killed because it goes against them; they have no power to complain. For we who kill the fetuses, we could not permit to get killed for we love to live; therefore, non is justified to kill because we will be curtailing the life of a human being that is in the process of development to become full human beings (Greenwood, 2001). Tt becomes too immoral and inhuman when killing innocent creatures. Every person has a right to life. On the other hand, fetuses are human beings because that is the developmental stages of the human being; it then explains that the fetuses have the right to life, and abortions should not get done to terminate the life of the unborn (Marecek et al.,2017). Abortion is itself killing, and it is no moral obligation to have killed the fetus, for it got prohibited in the holy books. It is against the creator of life to terminate what he made, and we have no right to decide and kill the life that we did not create. These make the fact that the act is against the creator. On the personal factors, it is against the health of the mother carrying the fetus for the process of abortion may bring a lot of complications to the reproductive system of the mother and may affect the future situations of conception or have difficulties in maintaining the future pregnancies (Erdman, 2017). The community believes that the continuity of the generation for the future, there is a need to have young ones come and replace the aging generation; therefore, continuity will help determine the debate's honest discussion in the community's view. Unless the mother's life gets threatened, for example, the fetus develops in the fallopian tube. It may make the mother's life is a mess, and the community factor gets viewed as ensuring that energy gets preserved at best (McGraw-Hill Education Rachels & Rachels, 2019). Some community considers the situation at which the conception took place; for example, if the child got conceived when the mother got raped, then abortion should not get done because the fetus has no knowledge and the fetus is not evil.

Kantian ethics on abortion

In Kantian ethics, Kant believes that many of the crimes and actions such as murder, theft, and telling of lies are prohibited even when they bring happiness to the one doing them than when he could have done the alternative. Based on the action, if every individual will be happy to do the activity and every person will regard your story as good, it will be appropriate for you to do the action. If the step is not suitable for the public, stop doing it. Therefore, the practice of abortion is an act that you cannot just talk about it in public as a good act that people will be happy when they hear you say the abortion will not be a good act in Kantian ethics (Hewson, 2001). Every person in public is pleased about a new life and wants continuity. Continuity gets brought through the conception and generation of young ones, which will enhance continuity. Therefore, the public will not allow such an act, and consequently, Kantian ethics will prohibit the action of abortions even if it will bring any happiness to the deed's doer. The other basis of Kantian ethics is that we must respect human beings' goals and not just fulfill personal desires. In case the story is conforming to supporting the lives of human beings, it will be suitable for the action to gets done, and if not, then the action should not get done at all. Therefore, on the side of abortion, it does not support life, and therefore abortion will be prohibited completely (Løkeland, 2004). It will be appropriate for abortion to get undertaken if it is life-threatening, instead of losing both lives, let us save the life of both; if not, then at least let there be a lifesaver.

the article, the act of abortion, gets viewed as the fight against abortion got won, but only on the legal grounds, despite morality has not achieved. The article's main aids are the misuse of the law where the contraceptives have gotten misused. Their biotechnology companies are in great fear that drugs will get misused; the primary author is more on the misconducts. There is no more shame in sexual behaviors. Therefore, this article is relevant to the study of the topic of research since it views moral issues surrounding abortion. The author quotation that abortion is on the rise because of the increased acceptability of contraceptives and unplanned pregnancies.

The author on the topic is taking on, regardless of the law allowing abortion to get carried out, regulate it. The author quotes that even if the states allow abortion or control it in a legal context, it sets a useful framework for the providers. The author is on society, and the government and healthcare can reduce abortion cases not to get done anyhow. The limitation is that people are misusing the law. Therefore, the article was helpful in the study as it gives society, government, and healthcare ethics. And during the investigation, it helped to provide light about the legal and social laws surrounding abortion.

The article is all about human rights. the author considers how the law should be adhered to when dealing with abortion taking care of the woman's rights and the fetus. The main limitations are the lack of adherence to the law. The article quotes that: in the laws of abortion it is an ultimate human’s rights to have time and seeking an understand to them, and fully support women who wants pregnancy to get terminated. Therefore, the article helped understand the mother's rights and those of the fetus and what should get considered. The report provided a green light on the law's depth concerning the fetus's first early life development rights.

The quotations I will be using for the final projects are those that say - the autonomy of the practice remains an individual practice to decide what is right or wrong to do in matters of abortion McCarthy. (2017). and in the laws of abortion it is an ultimate human’s rights to have time and seeking an understand to them, and fully support women who wants pregnancy to get terminated of Erdman, J. N. (2017).
