This sourced helped me with my point of view, it made me reassure what I believe and made my thoughts about the abortion stronger, through the facts that they stated there in the source, I can say that they have a really strong voice that would help the people change their minds.

This challenging book details the battle between pro-life and pro-choice groups in America. The story is told by Abby Johnson, a former Planned Parenthood director, supervising and overseeing abortions in her clinic, but now a leading advocate for pro-life groups. Abby begins by explaining why she left Planned Parenthood--she witnessed an abortion procedure and for the first time understood that she has just participated in the killing of a child. She originally joined PP believing she could help women and reduce the number of abortions by offering birth control advice and family planning. She makes a compelling case that many of the staff working for PP also believe they are doing the same. It is perhaps not surprising (from a spiritual perspective,) to learn how many of these women also feel a deep-seated unease about their jobs.

Through this page I saw the religious point of view about abortion, which is what I believe, but it also explains the reason why abortion is a murder in a biological way, so they have two facts that are really powerful.

I chose this site because in the article they explained point by point of how the pro-abortion people think like, that is a good way to see the different way of thinking, and thanks to this article I can see why they are in favor with abortion.
