Why Abortion Is Immoral Don Marquis Summary
Don Marquis believed that abortion was impermissible. He wrote a paper titled Why Abortion is Immoral which he argues about how abortion is seriously immoral and is in the same category as killing an innocent adult human being. Marquis’s arguments are the opposite of what it is that I am arguing. Marquis believes that a fetus is a person, so a fetus has a right to life. He believes that unless it is extreme circumstances it is immoral to kill a normal adult human because it causes “the loss to the victim of the value of its future” (Marquis, 192) and this is the equivalent to what happens when someone has an abortion. He believes that abortion is the same thing and is seriously morally wrong because it takes away the chance of a valuable future,
