This article explores the depiction of ideas about Islam among anti-abortion and abortion rights groups in Muslim communities. Abortion is a hotly debated topic in the Muslim community, but most outsiders might assume that all Muslims subscribe to similar opinions regarding female reproductive rights. The author found that a majority of the organizations presented one-sided views of the situation, and anti-abortion websites used generalizations of the Muslim community and the conservative views of the Islamic religion to support their viewpoints.
