Abortion is Absolutely Horrendous.

Abortion is a difficult problem with morality.

The Emotive Argument

But what I can say, is that it is distasteful and I don't think anyone who does it even after witnessing an abortion is one I want to be associated with.

Moral Argument

The thing is, as horrendous as late-term abortions are, we will always have trouble making a definitive case for its immorality. It depends on what we call morality.
If we define immorality is defined as violence against a conscious being capable of grasping and obeying a moral code, then no, it is not immoral.
But if we define it as anything capable of consciousness, feeling pain and its death, abortion is immoral.

How morality is defined is affected by languages, concepts, utilitarianism and based on consequences, and the simple fact that only living human beings make the rules and determine what is moral and immoral. Since abortions don't directly affect society negatively, it will likely stand in a technocratic society. As will human embryo testing. And cloning. And all the other things possible.
