Ethical Principles In Regards To Abortion

One of the most widely debated moral issues in America, and indeed worldwide, is that of abortion.

Don Marquis wrote an article titled “Why Abortion is Immoral.” He suggested that we address abortion in a larger discussion of the ethics of killing.

Debates about abortion have engendered both, great interest and great hostility in the past few years.
