The issue of abortions has always been a highly controversial one, where the dynamics revolve around the problem of the authority of a number of different parties. Despite the recent trend of decline in the use of the procedures, the discussion remains valid (Jones & Jerman, 2017). These might include government, father, mother, and child, and the argumentative base can go deep down to the most philosophical matters. The issue of the permissibility of abortion highlights the importance of discussing the principle of fairness. How fair is the choice in favor of the rationally understood benefit of a woman’s autonomous personality? Is it fair to neglect the possibility of a new human being? Is it fair to involve medical specialists in the operation to destroy a living being? And finally, can there be a just society, the laws of which allow the mass destruction of human beings in the process of development? Therefore, such questions need to be addressed from the perspective of objective assessment, which is provided in the given analysis.
Nevertheless, it is important to point out the fact that the contemporary state of the issue is highly two-dimensional. Such an approach towards the provided problem is not a representative one because it dismisses a large intermediary group of situationists. They are not inclined to adhere to the absolutist values but rather understand the practice can be necessary under certain conditions (Rye & Underhill, 2020). Any black-and-white attitude will inevitably create major pitfalls within the established argument and positions, which means that such systems will be prone to failures. Therefore, abortions should be allowed in instances of serious social or economic obstacles that may prevent a woman from giving birth to a child.
