Abstract: Based on the principle of autonomy, should we conclude that abortion is ethically justified? Applying the principle of autonomy on the issue of abortion forces the justification of some aberrant consequences affecting the lives of newborns. Therefore, in this case, a society of autonomous individuals would consider reasonable to limit the scope of the principle of autonomy resting on other sources of moral value. The result is that the ethical dilemma of abortion cannot be solved solely on the principle of autonomy and the moral status of the so called abortion rights, based on such a principle, must be revisited.
