Most discussion of abortion has assumed that this view is correct, and so has focused on the question of the personhood of the fetus. Kamm begins by considering in detail the permissibility of killing in non-abortion cases which are similar to abortion cases. She goes on to consider the case for the permissibility of abortion in many types of pregnancies, including ones resulting from rape,AbortionMoral and ethical aspectsAbortionLaw and legislationAbortionLaw and legislationUnited StatesElectronic books.AbortionMoral and ethical aspects.AbortionLaw and legislation.AbortionLaw and legislation363.4/6Kamm F.
