Family View on Issue

• Tell how your family views the issue or a similar or contributing issue

Pros and Cons based on Family Issues as it relates to the larger issue

• Although my family does believe in abortion due to our religion, most of us agree that my cousin needs to have an abortion if it unnecessarily puts her life at risk. Even today, my family remains divided on the situation.

Compromise

• Although my cousin’s abortion caused a divide in the family, some of us are closer now than ever.

• Therefore, I have come to the conclusion that abortion may considered a mortal sin by my religious beliefs, under certain circumstances, I believe that it needed.
