Ethics is the science that seeks to know, understand, and be wise regarding the various criteria or standards in light of which we make decisions about the right or wrong regarding various actions and hopes to act on various decisions. Morality is the very specific application of theories in ethics and is generally more specific. Abortion is a moral and ethical issue that has been discussed and debated for myriad years. Many people are against the idea of ​​abortion being classified as "pro-life", while others are more in favor of the discretion left to the woman carrying the child and the family involved. This is classified as "Pro-choice". Ethics and morality are divided into two main areas. The former are the past-oriented non-consequential criteria and the latter are the future-oriented consequential criteria. Past-oriented non-consequential criteria include the authoritarian perspective, the categorical imperative, social contract theory, natural law theory, virtue ethics, and prima facie duties. These six ethics are called deontological theories. The authoritarian perspective does not have a specific philosopher who created it, however it includes family members, teachers, friends, religious figures and symbols, politicians, and various other people. According to this perspective, abortion as a whole would be degrading and disapproving, especially from a religious point of view because it would mean taking the life of another living being and in most cases it would be compared to murder. The next criterion was created by Emanuel Cont. His theory has a lot to do with absoluteness. His first categorical imperative can be defined as universalization in which he says that if one has to make... middle of paper... a moral or moral decision, always try to bring maximum goodness, happiness, pleasure and freedom of suffering to the greatest number of people involved or affected by the decision. This would not be in accordance with abortion because, considering that the relationship is only one to one between the mother and the child, pain would be inflicted on the child without any possibility of happiness, goodness or pleasure. Situationism was created by Joseph Fletcher and this ethic was based on the situation the person was in, but the principle in this is that whatever you decide brings out the ultimate “agape” which results in brotherly love. Overall this would also depend on the situation of the mothers. If the mother is in a terrible situation, then abortion may be the best option, however if the mother is stable and capable of being a positive role model and an excellent mother, then abortion would be frowned upon..
