Ethical Theory - Social Morality

The issue of abortion can be related with social morality.

Social morality is a theory which attempts to relate moral standards, regulations of a society, and the country’s or universal law with ethical concepts not based on the interests of individuals but to the benefits of the society.

As we all know, abortion is an immoral act for a person who go along to do it. Immoral in such a way that is counted as murderer because of ending an innocent life for own personal benefits. As written in the bible, pregnancy is a reward to the person or family.

Beside that, many people does think about abortion is a way to decrease or stabilize the number of citizen in a country, but that not the point. Whereby in USA, there are far too many old folks to take care of and rather not enough babies being born. So this will cause an imbalanced in social. Therefore, there is no reason why we should approve abortion whereby it does not lead to the imbalanced population.

In conclusion, abortion in society cannot actually be prevented since that right is not in our hand but in theirs. Before that, this are some reason that have to be think carefully before attempting to do abortion. Will you be happy for the rest of your life after you do abortion? Do you really think that abortion is the only way to solve a problem?


WE ARE AGAINST ABORTION !!!

What is abortion?

Abortion is the medical process of ending a pregnancy so that it does not result in the birth of a baby. Sometimes health care professionals may refer to an abortion as a termination of pregnancy.

The health professionals can also take social circumstances into account when making this decision. Besides, a chance that baby will have medical condition also will be taken into account

OpPos3 Arguments ThAt uSed tO sUppoRt AborTionS

As we all know that, ultrasound and medical technology have proven that infant has human life. The main reasons that we should against abortions is because it is a religious issue.

Some may claim that the unwanted pregnancies will grow to be unwanted and battered children. This may not be a good reason because abortion does not seem to decrease the explosion of battered children and child abuse.

In some countries, the governments mandate abortion to control population. However, this will be not an accurate action because in US, there are far too many old folks to take care of and rather not enough babies being born. So this will cause an imbalanced in social.

Besides, the argument for abortion for an assault rape pregnancy continues and remains approved by two- third of the citizen. Actually, this reason cannot be accepted at all because we should not kill an innocent baby for the crime of its father. Baby has not wrong anything.

So, we should against abortions! There has no reason for us to support it.

Why should we against abortions? Religion factors:

Christian

Christians believe that baby is a present from God where sons are a heritage from Lord; children are a reward from Him.-Psalm 127:3.

“If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall surely be punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. And if any mischief follow, then thou shall give life for life..." --Exodus 21:22-25.
