During the past quarter century, abortion has joined race and war as one of the most debatable
             subject of controversy in the United States. It discusses human interaction where ethics, emotions

             individuals to create a emotional and violent atmosphere. There are many points of view toward
             abortion but the only two fine distinctions are "pro-choice" and "pro-life". A pro-choicer would feel
