Quindlen describes the two sides of the debate by saying some people such as the right-to-lifers who try and portray abortion rights as something that feminists thought up or the people who who support abortion rights are most comfortable with a monolithic position; however, she doesn't just see one side or the other anymore. Quindlen doesn't just think it should be the woman's choice if they want to abort the child because it's not convenient or any other personal reason. I feel as if Quindlen still hasn't made a full decision on what she fully believes because she can pull out pros and cons for both sides easily.
An issue that in a way is connected to abortion is adoption. If I had to write an essay over adoption I'd see pros and cons for both ways too. I can see how adoption is great and it gives people who aren't capable for having their children still experience parenthood and the child getting a chance at a better life. However, a young mother choosing to give their child away for adoption could end up causing emotional distress to them and then the child could also have a feeling of not being wanted by their birth mother for some reason and that too can cause distress, so how do you decide?
