To avoid getting pregnant there are ways to prevent it.

Such as birth control, or using protection. Abortions are damage to the person getting the procedure done and to the unborn child as well. The moral dimensions of this issue are just that abortions should be banned or limited.
When abortion is a crime, the emergency room can become the scene of a criminal investigation, and doctors the detectives. Abortions are just killing babies and thats simply just wrong. There are many people in the world who arent able to get pregnant or even have kids. Abortions should only be given if theres a serious reason such as rape. There are ways to avoid getting pregnant if getting pregnant isnt your intentions. Using protection is one of the biggest ways to prevent pregnancy. There are also various types of birth controls for women to get on so they wont get pregnant. Most birth controls are 99% effective and there are up to at least 18 different types of birth controls to get on if you wan to avoid pregnancy. Also, getting your tubes tied lasts forever. Its useful and comes in handy, instead of getting abortions.Abortions should be banned; there are many reasons as to why they should be banned. Years ago abortions were causing hundreds of women to die. Which caused abortions to become illegal. Given that hundreds of women a year died from botched illegal abortions in the United States before Roe v. Wade, which legalized the procedure in 1973, I expected to find hospitals in Chile overflowing with dying women. An abortion isnt just causing harm to the unborn baby but to the women as well. Causing the body to be damaged. After an abortion most people get small infections and side affects. To avoid getting infections from abortions women should take the antibiotics as directed. The small side affects after getting an abortion is abdominal pain and cramping, nausea, vomiting, Diarrhea, Spotting, and bleeding. If abortions dont get banned for good they should at least be limited.

Ethical relativism is the belief that nothing is purposely in conformity with or deviating from the truth; furthermore depends on the perspective; the outlook of a culture; the historical period or an individual.

It is to my belief, in the words of Sir Issac Newton, “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction”(Newton, 1687). Ethical relativism definition is the core of truth. An individuals view to what is right or wrong is substantiated on morals. Morals of which depicting an individual’s culture determine the response and or the action of the individual. “Cultural relativism is the view that what is right or wrong is determined by your culture, by the society in which you live” (Jones, 2017).
The perception of truth or the actual state of the matter is determined by an actual fact stated upon an action governed by a people or individuals. The comprehension of truth serves itself on the foundation of whose truth is it? As a moral subjectivist would say, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder” (Hungerford, 1878). To argue the relativity of Ethical relativism leaves a reader to question the definer of the said word. It is to my belief, after reviewing the cause, a conclusion is only formed from the basis of the action of the cause. An individuals culture may alter an outcome depending on the circumstance and on the basis of the cognitive of the individual. The genetic makeup of mankind is unique in every aspect of life. There will be differences of opinion even with those sharing the same culture. There will be differences in opinion with those of different backgrounds. There will be a difference of opinion between genders of all races and mixed cultures. There is only truth in a law or a fact stated which has been broken or violated by one or more individuals. If the said state of rules has been broken or violated by a party then one can not assume but state a fact that there is a right or a wrong to be determined. Moral absolute leaves one to question the validity into the fact of a ” moral absolute being an ethical principle that is binding on all people rather than just the people in a specific culture or society” (Jones, 2017). Life in all its complexities gives individuals of all nationalities an unbalanced system of justice. The terms provided here can be subjective from the worldview of an individual who is biased all sides. An individual who is deeply concerned with the principles of the law could find truth in ethical relativism.
