"Before one decides whether abortion should be illegal or not, one needs to consider cases in which abortion is a medical necessity."

True

False

Answer 1

False. The statement is not objective because it contains hedging language, which suggests uncertainty and invites consideration rather than making a definitive claim. An objective statement typically presents facts without the inclusion of hedging or subjective qualifiers.
