Thus we ought to take seriously the suggestion that, insofar as "the human individual develops biologically in a continuous fashion... The rights of a human person might develop in the same way (on the Moral and Legal Status of Abortion).

Finally, according to utilitarianism, if something is wrong for majority of the people, it should be a rule. For example, if an illegal abortion or any other medical procedure takes place in a back alley, abortion should be legal for the sake of the people who live in this world. Utilitarianism is about keeping the universe happy and safe, which indicates abortion should be allowed. If it is not legal, it will take place regardless but in this sense, it would be a threat to the human race. Utilitarianism wants the majority to be happy and making abortion legal will make people because they will have a safe environment to do what is best for them.

Conclusion

From the evidence in this paper, it is apparent that women should have the right because every situation is different and they have to face the consequences of their actions, which could be harmful to their body. Furthermore, the pregnancy does not affect anyone except for the expecting mother.
For that reason, abortion should be a matter of personal choice rather a restriction because some people in society says it is murder of a fetus that cannot think morally for itself.
