But according to the analysis that Dewey&#39;s contextualism claims, if a general rule can be used to make the right decision for a person that results in the most virtue and action, then the general rule is also one of the conditions and environment that the person has in the issue (abortion) deals with it and makes a moral decision based on them. From Dewey&#39;s point of view, if our non-abortion is a valid reason that can be followed and we are born, we should not end any pregnancy. That is, if the fetus produces the truth that can be followed by surviving, then abortion is immoral. Therefore, in general, the duties towards the mother and the fetus are different in terms and contexts, but the duties that man has towards himself and the principle of humanity give him general principles for action</span></span></span></span></span> Abortion, Moral conflicts, Contextualism, Deontology 20 26 http://ijethics.com/browse.php?a_code=A-10-240-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Ghasem Fardid farghasem0@gmail.com 10031947532846003577 10031947532846003577 No Department of Theology and Islamic Studies, Sabzevar Branch, Islamic Azad University, Sabzevar, Iran Ahmad Akbari ahmad.akbari.dr@gmail.com 10031947532846003578 10031947532846003578 Yes Department of Theology and Islamic Studies, Sabzevar Branch, Islamic Azad University, Sabzevar, Iran Mahmoud Ghafoori Nezhad m.ghafoori@gmail.com 10031947532846003579 10031947532846003579 No Department of Theology and Islamic Studies, Sabzevar Branch, Islamic Azad University, Sabzevar, Iran
