From the Paper:

"Abortion: Point/Counterpoint Even before the landmark Roe vs. Wade decision by the United States Supreme Court in the 1970s, the issue of abortion had been a divisive one within this nation's borders. With some individuals and groups claiming that abortion is immoral and akin to murder and others fighting for a woman's right to choose what is done or not done with her body, there has probably not been a more contentious and polarizing debate in America. To this day, as the government's current administration looks to make the court system and the Supreme Court one of conservative values, and as many disagree with these values, abortion is one of the defining issues within American politics and thought. This writer believes that abortion is an issue that is best left to the decision of the individual, of the woman who might possibly undergo such a procedure. "
