Is abortion ethical?


Is abortion ethical?
*Ethics is a major branch of philosophy, encompassing right conduct and good life. It is significantly broader than the common conception of analyzing right and wrong...

Abortion itself I think is a neccesity for the persons who undertake it, the problems that may arise because of a child may be greater than the actual operation itself - and the physical, mental & spirtual factors that come along with the operation. For it to be considered plainly unethical is an extremely difficult conclusion. The planet earth now consists of 6 billion + human beings, to put another human being on this planet with the sometimes and usually problematic situations that surround a baby that is considered to be aborted - rape, mistake, age etc. is perhaps a higher ethical factor to consider than an abortion. The problematic situations that usually surround an abortion "candidate" if not aborted - these problems will need to be faced by a living being, which sometimes may lead to an unhappy life. As the definition says on ethics, "encompassing right conduct and good life" well right conduct should be already applied to the beginning - what i mean is to use a contraceptive device, or to abstine from any sex at all, these two are righr conduct, which leads to a good life, hence that problem won't affect you.
These are to me good points to consider.
