The article presents the ethical orientation being against abortion. The text shows arguments that support the thesis of the reasonableness for not performing abortion and does it on the basis of the so-called Reverence for Life conception of morality, of which the main representative (at the same time the author) is Swiss philosopher and theologian Albert Schweitzer. The ethical philosophy in question proclaims that every Will to Live – i.e. life in its every manifestation – has the right to live. Because foetus, according to this orientation, will obtain the onthic status (since it is a manifestation of Life and in fact constitutes a kind ofWill to Live), the act of abortion will be disapproved. This viewpoint is in opposition to Mary Anne Warren’s one, who in her article Abortion is pro (performing) abortion – although she, in some way paradoxically, is reffering to Schweitzer’s moral system too. The present article argues with Warren’s point of view on abortion, advancing arguments for the contrary standpoint. Nevertheless, the present text does not opine that foetus has a status of human being – it claims for the right to life for embro due to its onthological worth and the fact that it hypostasises Schweitzer’s category of Will to Live.
