essay, I argue that abortion is prima facie morally wrong. Prima facie morally wrong means that the action at first is wrong, however sometimes there are ways to override its wrongness. My primary goal is to demonstrate that abortion, or killing a fetus, is prima facie morally wrong for the same reason that killing an innocent adult human being is morally wrong.
