After reading Amy Reynolds’ post five, I feel I have a better understanding of both sides of a major controversial issue, abortion. Amy looks at both sides of the argument, pro-choice and anti-abortion. Pro-choice is for women to chose to end their pregnancies, and anti-abortion, just as it may seem, is against abortions. Anti-abortion groups believes that a developed brain and body means a human, and if a woman has an abortion, they are killing a human, murder. I agree with Amy on her stance of this issue - pro-abortion. Women have the decision to do what ever they feel is best for themselves, which may include having an abortion.
Amy clearly states both sides of the argument, including the positives and negatives of each article she chose. One article seemed to have more information and was more convincing, while the other had simply scientific information and no other convincing information. These authors of each article have very strong feelings for their beliefs which is most likely why much of the useful information is left out. The only side we read about is the side the author agrees with and not the side that they feel is wrong. With this in mind, it can be very hard to read articles or even books that are on current controversial issues.
