Most philosophical discussions of abortion focus on the harms and rights of the individual women and fetuses directly involved. They concentrate on the questions of whether the fetus is a person, or whether it is a being sufficiently like persons to deserve a right to life, and whether the rights of the fetus are counterbalanced by the women's right to privacy or freedom from interference.
