Some people believe that an abortion is moral because the fetus is only human at birth. The counterargument in favor of this belief would be that the fetus has the potential to become human. Therefore, fetuses deserve the same right to life as any human being and abortions deprive fetuses of the right to life. “Fetuses also have valuable futures, because there are experiences, activities, and plans in their future that they will come to value. Thus, killing a fetus deprives it of a future like ours and is therefore seriously presumed immoral” (Nichols 494). There are a few cases where abortion is justified. "If all fetuses have a right to life, and if abortion always involves murder, then abortion can only be justified when (1) the fetus is not innocent, or (2) murder is not is not direct” (Sumner 107). Abortion is only justified when continuing the pregnancy will result in the death of the mother or the pregnancy is due to rape or incest, but this accounts for less than one percent of abortions.
