The ethical view of abortion Does a mother have the right to take the life of her unborn child? Some may say that it is God’s will for that fetus to be born, and that the child is supposed to be born. This essay does not argue religious views, but ethical views. I will be using different views from an ethical standpoint to try to understand if abortion is morally good or bad. From a non-biblical standpoint, it is based on whether a woman finds it ethically right to terminate a pregnancy and what effect it would ultimately have on her happiness.
The next principal that is distinctive to Catholic education is the evangelisation and education is interlinked. This is true in this case. Evangelisation is the call to conversion and teachers are expected to teach children about God and about the Catholic religion. In a way, they are converting the children to Catholicism, which in my opinion should be the job of the church and parents. The teachers spend religion classes informing and preaching to children about Jesus and his life on earth and the main events and miracles of his life.

There is proof in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, in Sacred Scripture, and in the Introduction to Catholicism that we as Catholics are entitled to go to confession in the way that Jesus’ taught us to. Many Catholics before us, who have wanted to be a part of the true Church, have accepted the sacraments, but not everyone knows why the Church commands us to do the things we do. We follow in the examples of the saints is because they followed the traditions of the Church, which includes the Sacrament of Penance. In Sacred Scripture, we see proof that telling our sins to a priest is what God wanted us to do for our salvation. In the book of James (5:16), it says “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.
First Trimester Abortions should not be viewed negatively because a woman's body is her own, circumstances are always different, and a woman has individual rights. Abortion is the termination of pregnancy at any stage that does not result in birth. Abortion is typically defined as the termination of pregnancy by the removal or expulsion from the uterus of a fetus or embryo before fetal viability. An abortion can occur spontaneously, in which case it is usually called a miscarriage, or it can be purposely induced. The term abortion most commonly refers to the induced abortion of a human rather than non-human pregnancy.
By examining the views on abortion of Marry Anne Warren, this paper will argue that abortion is morally permissible on the grounds that early fetuses, though they are genetically human, are not persons (members of the moral community). In this paper I will introduce Warren’s argument on why abortion is morally permissible followed by a counter argument by Don Marquis. Furthermore, this paper will analyze why Warren’s argument is more persuasive than the counter argument offered by Marquis followed by criticisms of the analysis. Lastly, I will discuss why the objections to the analysis are unconvincing. Warren beings her argument by acknowledging that abortion “…usually entails the death of a fetus.
