Legal Philosophy- Aims At Law

Introduction

In this paper, it will discussed of five controversies such as, Abortion, Marijuana, Marriage Gay, Pornography, and Cruelty to animals and also in accordance to Why such laws advance a proper aim of law, using the views of authors such as Dworkin, Mills. Each issue will reflect in whole or in part ideas about the proper aims of law expressed by philosophers.

Abortion

There have been numerous laws and regulations to avoid them are not. And it is less news that, despite all the legal apparatus developed over centuries of many peoples and cultures, there are still theft, crime, rape, traps and many other forms of abuse and injustice.

The fact that been loved (and may still love) to work to pass a law against abortion may seem to some useless, because there are those who believe that punitive laws are: do not preclude that whatever you want to ban.

Since the ability to experience feelings of distress or satisfaction is a prerequisite to have any choice, and the fetus, at least until around 18 weeks is unable to suffer or feel any satisfaction, it is possible such a fetus having preference. In a utilitarian calculus, there is nothing to weigh against the preferences of the mother to have an abortion, then abortion is morally ...
