This paper looks at how, as years go by, the debate over the ethics and morality of abortion rages on. There are those against
it and those for it if certain
circumstances apply. It attempts to answer the question of when abortion is morally
acceptable or whether it should be considered immoral all the time. It puts forward the author's view that abortion is morally acceptable only in circumstances where the woman was raped or her health is at risk, whether it be her life or her fertility.
