Utilitarian, deontology, virtue, and justice perspective of abortions.
The termination of pregnancy before the child is born is called as Abortion. Ethically, abortions are a much debatable topic since some people are given the choice of abortions while others are not, depending upon the culture & values of the society they live in.
In terms of the Utilitarian view, abortion is justified if it is known that the child may lead a miserable life when born. For example, if the financial situation of the child bearer is not sufficient for the bearer’s survival itself, Utilitarian view will always allow to opt for abortion of the fetus.
Whereas, the Deontological perspective considers abortions to be immoral. It states that every human being was once a fetus and the consent of the child being born has to be taken into consideration. Thus, in this case if the fetus is healthy and there are no complications in the fetus, one should consider these as indications of consent and the child should be born and not aborted.
Similar to Deontological perspective, Virtue perspective also considers abortions to be immoral. This is because, according to the Virtue theory, the fetus deserves moral consideration and thus, has the right to be born. There are other courses of actions that might be opted for post the child is born, like adoption in case when the child bearer doesn’t want to or is incapable of parenting the child.
Finally, the Justice perspective considers abortion as a human right which every child bearer in the society should be awarded, without any hassle and irrespective of the prejudices of the society.
