Article: Justices Stay Evenhanded on Abortion Case
Found in: The Los Angeles Times
Published: November 30, 2005

I found this an interesting article because it discusses the issue of abortion rights in a setting with the Supreme Court Justices. The article debates whether doctors should be required to notify the parents of a girl under 18 who wants to have an abortion at least 48 hours before the procedure. This article is objective because it contains both sides of the argument and it reveals these opinions through the different Supreme Court Justices. By placing the views in the mouths of the Justices, the reporter has brought the subject material to life and has structured the article like a conversation. This method is more effective for the reader in understanding the subject matter because the argument is not purely facts, it has been humanized and is easier to follow.
