Abortion: examples and issues

The following are tables with aspects of each ethical theory followed by a blank square which students should fill in themselves. At first, students should merely write in how each aspect of the theory applies to abortion (using examples if possible). An example of a filled-in table is Kant and the right to a child. As they become more confident, students can include an evaluation of each theory's responses.

Utilitarianism and Abortion
Kant and Abortion
Natural Law and Abortion
