Review for ProCon.org, Santa Monica, CA, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

I wish there were more sources like ProCon.org that allow for BOTH sides of an argument to be presented. It's the best way to learn, and -- quite frankly -- much of the country could use that right about now. However, I believe the arguments posed against abortion rights are a bit off base, considering that a great deal of them bring religion into the picture. It should be stated outright that religious beliefs have no place in our government whatsoever, and any in favor of or opposed to certain laws/issues should always be taken with a grain of salt.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Debate clubs, conversations with friends, and everyday life, really -- I feel well-informed and fairly exposed to both sides of various political issues, and a great part of that is from ProCon.org. As a result of factual layouts of opposing sides and their respective arguments, I've been able to align myself with a set of beliefs I feel are appropriately developed.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Perhaps include more perspectives on possible positives and negatives of certain proposals, should they be passed (or not). E.g., Healthcare declared unconstitutional --> increasingly large gaps between classes, increased death rate, poor conditions (capable of being solved) for millions of Americans, etc.

Role:  General Member of the Public & ??? As a result of ProCon.org? If so, I was able to engage most of my friends with both sides of prominent political issues of today. As well as this, I'm able to look out on the world with a clearer, more well-informed mind. I feel that I'm a better .
