It is possible to support legal abortion while finding it personally immoral. Public policy justification differs from personal moral beliefs, allowing for this distinction in the abortion debate.

Area of Science:

  • Bioethics
  • Philosophy of Law
  • Public Policy

Background:

  • The abortion debate involves complex ethical and legal considerations.
  • A key issue is reconciling personal morality with public policy on abortion legality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the possibility of supporting abortion legality while deeming it personally immoral.
  • To differentiate between the ethical grounds for public policy and personal morality.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of legislation and morality.
  • Examination of the philosophical underpinnings of public policy justification.

Main Results:

  • Legislation's justification for public policy is distinct from personal moral frameworks.
