Abortion has been a highly debated topic for years. When dealing with unplanned pregnancy years before they had even thought of having children, young girls find themselves conflicted with how to proceed. Following the ethical rationalism framework, an abortion is seen as unethical and the wrong decision regardless of context. However, according to utilitarianism, a more convincing case can be made that abortion is the right choice, as it will maximize happiness for the greatest number of people, including the young mother and fetus.
