Church, George J. "Pro-Life and Pro-Choice? Yes!." Time Magazine U.S.. Time Inc., 6 Mar. 1995. Web. 12 Oct. 2011.
George J. Church, a write for Time Magazine, asks if anything new can be said about abortion, and goes on saying that there is definitely one more thing to be said about abortion. It is that abortion is justifiable only in extreme cases-but that nevertheless the state must respect the right to receive and perform abortions. He mainly explains why and why not abortion should be allowed, and yet immoral at the same time. The author's intent is to persuade Americans to make sure that the people hold the power to make abortion decisions and not have the state hold that power. George Church's main audience is anyone who is capable of having a baby and is thinking about getting an abortion. He supports this by saying, "What we must do is not ask the state to impose our views on those who disagree about abortion." There aren't any biases in this article, however, it may seem like Church is leaning more towards the pro-choice side of things, but at the same time, he takes the pro-life views into consideration also. The article was very informative as it took both sides into consideration, and it also gave good insight about how states shouldn't be able to make life changing decisions such as abortion.
