Applied Ethics Abortion 1. Abortion is an “act which a woman performs in voluntarily terminating‚ or allowing another person to terminate her pregnancy”. (Mary A.

Julia Hill had that clarity of doing something good in her life to people and other living things. She fought really hard for a purpose that she truly wanted.

Love Ethic of Jesus can also be applied to the concept of abortion. As one can tell by the name of this ethical system‚ Christianity is the main proponent of this system through its direct application of the Great Commandment.
