Abortion is a consensual practice that is subject to moral conducts, which usually define human beings in the society. Moral theories are presumed practices that regulate the process of abortion. Therefore, a consensus on the use of moral theories helps in avoiding adversities that may result from abortion. For instance, a scenario in which a mother decides to abort, in the emphasis on the lack of resources. Abortion is mostly used during family planning, and thus the cases of abortion are vast (Butler, and David110). However, the vast cases can be related to the use of moral theories. Abortion, just like any other medical practice, is highly welcomed by medical practitioners, who feel the essence of having rule over ones’ bodily entities. In publicized States, the incidence of abortion is done to control a certain population; an ad is inconsiderate of morals.
Some of the moral theories explain that the fetuses, as well as the mother have a standing of the matter on abortion. Despite the fetus being a defenseless entity in this scenario, the attributes of its well-being should not be ignored (Butler, and David 99). However, the voicing of the rights of the fetus is ordained in distinct stages that determine the viability of if the fetus will live. The viability of a fetus to live, and not be aborted is a matter of public policy, in which bureaucrats drive to contain. On the other hand, a mother is guided by morality, to determine the viability of a fetus. In this regard, the welfare of the fetus lies on the mother. For instance, a homeless person will be faced with the decision to abort, to avoid a rough life. However, the decision does not overwhelm the decision to preserve life.
