Contrary to what we hear shouted from both sides of the pro-choice/pro-life divide, abortion actually is a complicated issue.

This RD extra is a debate between Justin Schieber and John Barron on the issue of abortion. John keeps a blog at Siftingreality.com. There John blogs about Christianity, atheism, gay marriage and, of course, abortion.
