The concept of abortion as a deliberate termination of pregnancy, not as the spontaneous event called miscarriage, is tenuous to define because such definition varies according to its contexts, be it legal, bioethical, religious, or even cultural. In the legal aspect there are issues on rights, quasi-rights, personhood, and potentiality (International Encyclopedia of Philosophy 2, 4-5). In the moral (as well as bioethical and religious) side (3-4), there is moral right, “at birth” notion of the human person, viability, “first movement” argument, consciousness and ability to feel pain, and unicellular zygote as the ...

Studies highlights that individuals are likely to stop practicing a destructive action after realizing its consequences. However, this hypothesis does not seem to work in the case of abortion. Many scholarly sources suggest that in explaining high rates of abortions, factors that ...
