The issue of abortion has mostly been concern about morality as the idea expressed in Joel Feinberg's article. Feinberg constructed the following argument (Page 270): 1. A fetus is an innocent human being. 2. It is always wrong to kill an innocent human being. 3. Therefore, it is always wrong to kill a fetus. (Page 284) He described that abortion can only be justified when (1) to save the mother from the most extreme harm or else (2) to save the mother from a lesser harm when the pregnancy was the result of the wrongful acts of others for which the woman had no responsibility, or when (3) it can be claimed for a defective or diseased fetus that it has a right not to be born. Even Feinberg constructed his article and argument carefully detailed, however, it's difficult for me to accept his claims. .
Abortion is a much deeper and broader issue than just about to kill an innocent human being. Stated by Virginia Held (Page 286) " To the extent that we recognize that there is more to human life and more to human death than can be comprehended through a biological framework, so should we recognize that there is more to human birth. If anything, giving birth is more human, because we can choose to avoid it, whereas death, eventually, is inevitable." I feel that the quality of life for the baby in the future should be the primary concern, in other words, since Feinberg stated that it is always wrong to kill a fetus, does that mean we still have to insist keeping that child even when we don't have the ability to provide a decent life for him/her in the future? Also, I feel that the three restrictions listed by Feinberg over simplify most situations that happen in the real world. According his restriction (2). "When the pregnancy was the result of the wrongful acts of others for which the women has no responsibility." For example, many teenage girls get blinded when they get involve in a relationship at the very first time, then some of them got pregnant and realized that they've made a mistake.
