These views on abortion, both the pro-choice and pro-life, are based solely on belief. The pro-life belief takes the approach that we are not individuals but a family and as such are responsible for the other members of the family. The pro-choice belief is that though we are a family we must allow each member to make the decision that best suits them during the circumstances that are being undergone during that particular period. Though it is easy to see that both groups belief strongly that abortion just for abortion is wrong, but pro-choice belief more strongly that abortion with thought is a more correct action.

      An abortion has never been easy throughout the history of the human race, and may never be. As of September year two thousand there was a drug approved by the Food and Drug Association (FDA), this drug is Mifepristone (RU-486). This drug if used within seven weeks of pregnancy is "safe" and will not cause as many complications as a "traditional" abortion on a doctor's office. In a "traditional" abortion women are at risk in future pregnancies like "excessive bleeding, premature delivery, cervical damage, and sterility." This is but a small list of the much longer listing of reported complications of traditional abortions. The new medication to the battle of abortion is RU 486 (Mifepristone) and Misoprostol, together these drugs are named Mifeprex. The combination of these two drugs together may cause, "Excessive bleeding, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, fainting, back pain, fatigue, fever, viral infection, anemia, insomnia, anxiety" (France, Rosenberg, 29). These seem to be the only noted complications for Mifeprex.

      To solve such a controversial and complicated issue as abortion is to feed yourself to the lions. The initial solution that came to mind was to start a governmentally funded program that would allow pregnant women to take a week of tours of abortion clinics, and seminars where both views of abortion would help the woman, or family members, decide before actually going through an abortion operation or before her/there final decision. But a program like this will have many set backs especially with the introduction of Mifeprex.

      The reality of civilization is that knowledge is power. It is known throughout the world that the citizens of the Unites States of America tend to be conservatives. And as conservatives Americans tend to believe that humans younger than thirteen years of age can not reason, and are unable to make good decisions. It has been proven that starting from the age of six or so begin to make decisions and to reason, if this fact holds true then why not give the knowledge to children from grades four and over. It is also scientifically proven that males and females tend to go through puberty ranging from age eleven to thirteen.
