In an article titled “Why Abortion is Immoral”, Don Marquis concludes that any action that deprives an individual of a valuable future is a serious prima facie morally wrong. Marquis argues that a fetus has a “future like ours”(FLO) of great value and killing the fetus deprives the fetus of that future. Therefore, killing a fetus is morally wrong and since abortion is killing a fetus, abortion is morally wrong. I have chosen to analyze natural law and ethical egoism as it relates to abortion.…

that involve physical violence.”(Morreall, 139) Anything that violates prima facie rights is an act of violence, but what allows this to occur, the justification is what law is impeding the people and what method of civil disobedience is used: nonviolent or violent.

Foot gives individual's prima facie rights; meaning every person has the right to noninterference of their actions by others, even if it is contrary to their well being. This allows for us to let others act in contrary to their own interest and not be wrong, as long as we do not…

One argument against Aristotle 's point is that it is up to a suicidal person to determine how intense the pain they are feeling is. She is the only one who thoroughly understand what she is going through. Those who have had similar experiences may be able to empathize with her, but they will never be able to comprehend exactly what she is feeling.

It is simply impractical to view an abortion from any angle where the consequences of keeping the baby and having the abortion aren’t weighed. A decision on an abortion can’t be simplified to the morality of the act alone as there prima facie no cases where there are no consequences in either option.
