In the wake of the murder of Dr. George Tiller, Andrew Sullivan at The Atlantic began compiling stories and points of view regarding late-term abortions in a series he grouped under the heading It's So Personal.
There have been more posted since they were compiled into a collection, but I highly recommend reading them. I am die-hard pro-choice, but even so I never considered some of the questions and circumstances that faced these parents when they did or did not make the decision to abort. They're heart breaking and, as Sullivan so aptly describes, deeply personal. I don't know that they'll change opinions, but I see the potential these accounts have in opening minds, and for that reason alone I think people should look at them and encourage others to do so as well.
