Abortion decision: A woman deciding to have an abortion, after having consulted with her physician and perhaps spiritual counselor, and |
|
Abortion access: whether the government should limit access to abortion and, in some cases, veto a woman's decision. |
This is one of the few places on the Internet where all viewpoints are discussed, including the full spectrum of pro-life beliefs and the full diversity of pro-choice beliefs. Because of this, you will probably find some parts of our essays infuriating even as you will affirm the accuracy of other parts.
There is one point over which we dig in our heels and strongly promote a belief. We feel that all women considering an abortion should be fully informed and as free as possible from outside pressure.

The following information sources were used to prepare and update the above essay. The hyperlinks are not necessarily still active today.
- We use the popular meaning of "life" here to include ova and spermatozoa. Some scientists use a very strict definition of the word "life" which does not include ova and spermatozoa because they cannot, by themselves, reproduce.
