Truth or truths?

I'm not sure what the proper way to write this is, hopefully you can help me.

Uncovering the truths about abortion.

Or

Uncovering the truth about abortion.

It's going to be the subtitle of an ebook that I am working on. Thanks.

It depends on how you are presenting your information. If it is an organized list of multiple truths, then use the plural. If it is a more general discussion of various factors, then use the uncountable.

I'm definitely going for a long list of what I believe to truths. I thought that was the answer but appreciate the explanation.
