Open mind refers in general to one's ability to think, use logical reasoning, and consider different or even opposing viewpoints.

Saying someone lacks an open mind is often used pejoratively, for example, "Don't be pro-life/pro-marriage/pro-abstinence, be open-minded. In this context, "open minded" simply means considering a certain viewpoint.
