From the Paper:
"In the light of the complexity of this issue, there can be very little if any compromise between two sides. Both sides have some valid points of view. The issue of abortion is related in many cases to gender rights and the rights of women over her reproduction. On the other hand, one cannot escape the fact that human life is at stake, no matter how one argues about when life actually begins. This point is also related to the issue of fundamental human rights. The right to life is basic and if this aspect is not respected, then other human rights become empty of meaning. Therefore, in the final analysis, there can be little conclusive reconciliation better these two extreme views on abortion. There can however be some areas of compromise where there are extenuating circumstances, such as rape or disease, and where the life of the mother may be in danger."Sample of Sources Used:
