Topic Proposal and sources

An ongoing debate in society is whether or not it is ok for a woman to have abortions. Some people believe it is a woman's choice and there is not anything wrong with it. Some people believe it is against God's will to kill a little living embryo. A large piece of the debate is whether or not an aborted embryo is actually murder because murder intells the killing of an actual human being and some do not believe it is a human being.
I am writing on the two sides, pro-life and pro-choice, on abortion. One of the biggest arguments for the pro-life supporters is the religious factor. One of the sources uses the biblical verses to promote pro-choice. There is no in between on the issue, it is either one side or the other and in my paper I will show both sides and give the support both sides use to justify their beliefs.

The first source seems to use tilted language somewhat in its claim to be unbiased. Even as early as defining the two stances, the government "should intrude" and "should not interfere" where intrude clearly has a negative moral association. They claim unbias because they state both sides, but that does not mean they present both adequately.

The Just Facts website seems to very detailed, unbiased, and scientific in defining its terms and comparing how others use them.
