It is a painful subject for the couple who witness moral predicament. It is an issue that carries two viewpoints encompassing choice and life (Introduction to the abortion debate). Facts I. Religious- Life is present in the fetus since the moment of conception. With the act of abortion, the creature divest from the endurance and hence it is corresponding to murder. It is well supported by a few religions including the Christianity. Abortion has been debated since ancient times, Aristotle presented his views about the issue as "delayed ensoulment". According to Ted Lockhart, "perform actions that we are maximally confident are morally permissible". This argument is known as the "moral certainty" argument. Every mother has the right to decide upon the birth of the child and therefore Ted Lockhart's suggestion served to deal abortion as a practical solution in contrast to the moral issues (Introduction to the abortion debate). II. Ethical- It is the preference which should ideally have women as the choice maker as under a given circumstances women is the best judge to nurture the fetus and later the child with utmost care and devotion, lacking to do so could culminate into psychological problems in the child. In the present situation where women are contributing equally to the economic growth and development, continuing with the pregnancy may hamper career growth. It is essential to understand that the personal ethics of women are imperative to pursue the pregnancy. Moreover, the anatomy of the body should also allow the continuity of the pregnancy, especially at the later stages of life when the female cannot afford to continue with the pregnancy and hence termination of pregnancy should be allowed. It is not moral to give birth to the unwanted child and nurture the child with least botheration. In certain cases conception could be the result of contraceptive failure or a woman may not be prepared for. such cases demand legalization of abortion (Ethics of Abortion: Is it Moral or Immoral to Have an Abortion). III. Scientific basis- Any pregnancy cannot occur without the male partner. It is therefore necessary to have consent of the father as well before aborting the child. If the father agrees to take up the responsibility of the child, women gains confidence. In the present era where relationships are fragile, women do not want to have any binding to forgo her career or liberty. Now-a-days living relationships are prevailing and under such relationships, the couple does not like to enter into some kind of bonding related to child. Abortion- Pros Abortion is an issue that is now opted to get rid of unwanted pregnancies. Ultimately it is the women who have to go through the pain of continuing pregnancy and delivering a baby, taking up the responsibilities of rearing and up bringing the baby along with the daily chores, preparing the baby to be a responsible individual and it is the women who has to make changes, adjustments as well as alteration in routine. These alterations could either be supported by the family and the partner or in certain cases it may not be supported and woman has to bear the responsibility all be herself. There is nothing called pro-life. Health and well-being of the mother directly influence the well-being of the baby. If mother is not prepared mentally to carry the pregnancy and if she is forced to continue with the pregnancy then its repercussions may directly influence the health and development of the baby (Pros and Cons of Abortion). The mental well being of the baby and good psychological development is directly influenced by the mental well being of the mother. If mother does not want the child then she should not continue with the pregnancy.
