Abortion is an important and highly controversial health topic globally. Politicians and health professionals debate daily the legal and moral validity of removing a developing child while it is still in the womb. Although it has been practiced for hundreds (if not thousands, if you trace it back to the Code of Hammurabi, circa 1760 BC) of years around the world, the United States legalized abortion with the Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade in 1973. has not stopped countless all-out discussions about whether or not abortion should be banned. In this essay, the morality and justification of abortion will be examined, while also delving into the history of abortion itself. As previously stated, abortion has been traced back to prehistoric times, having first been listed in the Code of Hammurabi. Here it was written that abortion caused by assault was a crime. The exact extent of the crime varied depending on the social rank of the woman. The death penalty was also the punishment provided by the Code of Assura (Assyrian law, circa 1075 BCE) if a woman had an abortion against her husband's will. Even in ancient India, Smrti and Vedic laws mandated the preservation of “male seed” in women. Ancient China and Greece followed in the footsteps of their predecessors, performing abortions by various means and imposing laws on the act itself. A particular point of view in classical Greece is especially important when examining the morality of abortion. Aristotle was a famous philosopher of classical Greece. Ruling about abortion was just one of his many attributes. As he said, “The line between legal and illegal abortion will be marked by having sensations and being alive.” She has determined that the point of... middle of paper... will be left to the world if she does not want or cannot raise the child on her own. Adoption is one of them, where another family would be grateful to have the opportunity to raise your child as their own. The morality of this issue for me comes into play when it is related to sexual morality. Those who consider themselves old and mature enough to have sexual intercourse before marriage should be prepared to face the consequences of an unwanted pregnancy. Every argument has its flaws. It is cases like these in the medical world that produce many reflections and debates on a single problem. It can hardly be said that one point of view is totally superior to the other. We must find a balance between our morals and our health and therefore I have a balanced view on the moralism of abortion. Circumstances must be taken into consideration to determine the validity and morality of an abortion.
