We found ourselves surrounded by a society that believes Abortion is wrong. They believe is morally wrong because it implies killing a person. Society states that anyone who kills a person then they should serve a punishment for committing such an injustice act on someone who can’t speak up for himself. Society doesn’t fully understand why a person aborts; the individual may have many reasons to do it. Can society judge those persons who abort, even though they haven’t experience an abortion? Can we say we don’t like pizza, even though we have never eaten it? So society doesn’t have the power or to tell the world what is wrong without fully experiencing abortion. It is not reason what drives us to perform our actions but our sentiments and affections. A woman who has been raped or sexually abused becomes the product of pregnancy. She won’t like the idea of having a baby of the man who has raped; the child will be a living memory of that hideous day. Her experience, the way that situation has made her feel will drive her to have an abortion. The individual will not think what is morally correct instead will want to get rid of all the memories and feelings. Society can’t judge what it hasn’t undergone first, what it hasn’t experience yet. After it has undergone an experience then the ability to judge can be realized. I say facts are neutral in a given situation, society might know everything there is to know about the issue of abortion but after it has come to experience it, then it should judge what is moral.

I Agree with David Hume that no one is allowed to judge others if they don't know what they are talking about. When others have experience the abortion then they are capable of saying what they think.
ReplyDeleteI agree because no one takes the decision of killing another person, decisions aren't based on what people want. Abortion can affect in many ways, either the pregnant woman or even the youngborn.
