Philosophy - Abortion Rectitude
2839 Words - 11 Pages.... most intelligent beings on earth, we use
our critical thinking capabilities to selectively choose what should be
morally acceptable and what should be deemed unacceptable. To the best of
our knowledge, we as humans are the only species in existence that wrestle
with moral dilemmas. Absolute morality that will be agreed upon by the
majority of a society is extremely difficult to determine since each
individual has the ability to decide for themselves what is morally

Abortion: Who Really Cares
4444 Words - 17 Pages.... not all the wishful thinking
of those advocating repeal of abortion laws, can alter this. Those of us
who would seek to protect the human who is still to small to cry aloud for
it's own protection, have been accused of having a 19th Century approach to

can deny it: only those who are irrational or ignorant of science, doubt
that when a human sperm fertilize ....
