The debate over abortion usually focuses the paradigm of rights. In this paper I try to explore ethical issues that go beyond this paradigm. I will focus three main points: a- the attribution of value to the embryo; b- the approach of the Ethics of Care; c- the approach of Virtue Ethics. I’ll try to show that ethical discussions beyond the paradigm of rights are important not only in order to criticize abortions in specific situations, but also to create contexts where women feel more comfortable in making their own decisions.
