I view this as a personal issue. God or no god, ethics or no, it?s a private issue for me that does not require intervention or ?approval? from society at large. A woman, in my opinion must have the right to do as she chooses with her body and what ever she ?creates?. I may not like it, but it is her right in my opinion.
I don't think it makes a lot of difference whether a person has an ethics major or not. These seem like general human issues we all have to think about.
I'm trying to figure out why it should or shouldn't be a personal issue. Why should the State not interfere in our reproductive acts?
I'm thinking that all creative acts, reproductive or otherwise, are our most divine acts. Good ones require foresight, planning, calculation and aim for some good state of affairs. Creating the social conditions for responsible creative choices seems necessary to live out our full potential. Recinding those decisions if they seem to be poor ones, seems to be part of the equation. God destroyed the world in the days of Noah. This was God's abortion.
