Abortion Debate

Most of the articles I have found have been pro-choice.  These sources make it clear that they think women should have the right to choose abortion.  Along with multiple reasons supporting their claim, they have evidence to back it up.  However, not everyone shares this view, such as the Catholic church. The Catholic church has a history of being against abortion.  The religion uses ethics and emotion to back up their position.  To counter the pro-choice advocate sources I will use religion, such as this one, to bring the other side of the argument into play.  To inform the public accurately I will show both sides of the argument.
