One of the most popular arguments against abortion involves quoting religious text from a holy book. This is not solid support because it only proves the termination of their pregnancy is against that specific religion, not that it is morally wrong. In the study of ethics, this reasoning falls under The Divine Command Theory. This school of ethics is disapproved by experts in the field because it fails to acknowledge that other people don’t follow one religion and assumes the word of God cannot be immoral. Despite the movement’s name, the Pro-life organizations ignore the lives of women and their rights. It focuses so heavily on the potential life, the anti-abortion movement violates what it claims to protect, every human’s right to their own
