definition: allowed by principles with respect to what is right and wrong. First, this paper will argue that abortion is immoral and not morally permissible in the religious standpoint. This will be followed by an argument of potential personhood in defense for the above claim. Next it will outline the ‘Future like Ours’ argument that Don Marquis makes in his article “Why Abortion Is Immoral.” It will then refute some common counterarguments that are in favor of abortion such as it being better for the fetus…
