The issue of abortion is by far one of the hottest topics of debate nationwide
today.  The fabric of society is torn in two different directions, pro-life and
pro-choice.  One side leans toward “God” and t     he church.  That so influences
people on what is right and wrong.  Thus, determining whether or not they will get
into heaven.  The other leaning toward science, allowing people to manipulate
their bodies for what they feel is right.  The issue of abortion offers a classic God
versus science debate.  The articles I chose to evaluate further discuss the issue
from a pro-choice standpoint and show that society still is not settled on what is
right or wrong when determining the fate of an unborn child.
     The first article I chose to evaluate is titled “Planned Parenthood no
abortion predator” by Kim Franke-Folstad.  The main focus and discussion in this
article is an organization called Planned Parenthood of the Rockies.  The
problem facing the organization is that the state of Colorado is going through with
plans to eliminate public funds that support the organization.  Eventually, this will
destroy the organization.  The removal of funds from the organization comes from
the views that the organization is promoting abortion.  “A recent poll shows that
seventy-four percent of Coloradans are pro-life” (Franke-Folstad 2).  Clearly, this
has some bearing on the decision to eliminate funding.  However, a
spokesperson for the organization, Ellen Brilliant argues that, “Eighty-four percent
of Coloradans support the organization” (Franke-Folstad 2).  In addition, she
argues that the organization is generally recognized for their work in issuing
contraceptives, preventing STD’s and offering prenatal care.  Clearly, the
organization does more than perform and promote abortion.  Unfortunately, the
Planned Parenthood ideals are still viewed as pro-abortion and it will likely cost
the organization its life.
     The second article I chose to evaluate is titled,  “Journey of the Abortion
Pill”.  this article discusses the abortion pill RU-486, or mifepristone.  This pill
would eliminate many surgical abortions although it can only be used in the first
seven weeks of pregnancy.  In addition, this pill could be prescribed privately by a
doctor (Washington Post 1).  Albeit, the pill would save many lives of young
women who would not have to turn to a clinic or other places where unsafe
abortions could take place.  the problem is that the House of Representatives will
not pass f...
