Abortion

A global ethical framework is a set of codes that are right from wrong throughout the world. A great deal of possible choices one can make can be viewed as right or wrong in the world depending on one’s society. An example of this ethical controversy is killing, because killing someone can have many different views all over the world. In some societies throughout multiple countries in the world, killing someone can be a good thing if there is a pure reason justifying the action of ending someone else’s life. But other places can see it as completely wrong no matter the reasoning behind the action. Going off that, I believe that abortion should be illegal all over the world and it

Abortion can affect the societies around the world because it can affect the population count. The birth rates around the world are falling. Abortion devalues children and increases guilt and self-hatred. It can cut the bond between the mother and the child thereby weakening her future mothering capabilities wanting less children in her future. Abortion also hurts the economy because there will be fewer teachers needed, fewer pairs of shoes, fewer diapers, fewer happy meals ordered, and fewer toy companies to accommodate the children.

There are many developed countries that now have aging populations, there will be a growing number of retirees which will increase the burden of the working population that supports

Catholics believe that all life is sacred from conception until natural death, and the taking of innocent human life, whether born or unborn, is morally wrong.

The Old Testament testifies how God had specially marked individuals for an important role of leadership from the very first moment of their lives.

In a global ethics viewpoint, Kant’s theory states that Kant would say to the women who want to have an abortion: “Can you will that every other woman would have an abortion when

she is pregnant?” If the woman says “yes,” then abortion is moral. If she says “no,” then abortion cannot be moral.” Per Kant, abortion would be immoral because it would be irrational to will that every pregnant woman has an abortion. I agree with Kant’s theory because I am pro life and am totally against abortion unless there is a definite reason that it needs to happen. One of these circumstances could be as if a woman were to be raped and ended up pregnant, that woman should have the choice of abortion.
