'''Open mind''' refers in general to one's ability to [[think]], use [[logic]]al [[reason]]ing, and consider different or even opposing viewpoints.
The term is often used as a [[pejorative]], for example, "Don't be '' [[pro-life]]/pro-[[marriage]]/pro-[[abstinence]]'', be ''open-minded''. In this context, "open minded" simply means accepting a certain viewpoint.
