When should abortion be permitted?
When should abortion be permitted?☜Under what circumstances, if any, should abortion be permitted?☜FFB597
↳
Permit before a person's life begins
Permit before a person's life begins☜Various terminology is used, such as life, a life, a person, a human being. Regardless of terminology, though, the question is about what is valuable. (Conceptus is used as a blanket term for zygote, embryo and foetus, without assuming presence or absence of a life.)☜59C6EF
↳
Permit where burden exceeds woman's responsibility
Permit where burden exceeds woman's responsibility☜The conceptus, where it is a life, continues to live because of the womans care. As such, abortion, where it involves ending a life, should not be considered killing, but rather withdrawing care. Although the woman may have a duty of care, this is not necessarily unlimited.☜59C6EF
↳
Permit where justified by woman's bodily rights
Permit where justified by woman's bodily rights☜Under some situations, a woman has rights over her body that allow her to have an abortion. Opinions on what this covers may vary from only self-defence against probable death, on one side, to an absolute right to abortion at any time, on the other.☜59C6EF
↳
Permit on pragmatic grounds
Permit on pragmatic grounds☜There are pragmatic grounds for permitting abortion under some (or all) circumstances, beyond the rights of the individual(s) involved.☜59C6EF

Prohibit in recognition of the woman's partner's rights☜The womans partner has some rights in relation to an abortion, and, in cases in which the womans partner asserts these rights, an abortion should not be permitted.☜59C6EF
