Hi Mydragonflies,
Personally, I wouldn't submit the article. I think the topic is a bit too controversial. When applying to graduate programs, the applicant's "fit" with the program and professors is really important. So, I wouldn't take the chance of someone who disagrees reading the article. Maybe if it were another topic, but people usually feel very strongly, one way or the other, on the topic of abortion. There isn't much of a grey area. That's just my opinion though:) Did you get your LSAT scores yet?
