This section discusses a wide range of topics associated with
abortion. Essays linked to this menu differentiate between:
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.
This, and similar medical information on our web site, is intended as a
general educational aid to the public. If the topics covered are of direct
concern to you, we recommend that you consult a qualified healthcare
professional who can review your unique situation before reaching a decision.

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.
