    1:abortions should not be leagalized.In my opinion is because no one deserves too die no matter what circumstance you are in.
    2:from the two books im reading i learned that by parents not playing their part it has a big impact on teens which cause some of them to be in this bad predictament.
    3&4: recently i have expericence this problem about my brother girlfriend getting an abortions this was a big debate going on in the household because my brother was not ready too take on thats big responsibilty at a young age.also because he is college playing basketball.my thoughts about this problem is that i said if you was big enough to have unprotected sex you big enough too take care of this baby.
    5:when i went on google it told me some soulutions to this problem and 1 is getting teens on birthcontrol.

  10. Leah Webb : 1:Tell me two books and internet source you found

    1: Book:(Gloria Feldt) The war on choice 2004
    2:Book: Meghan Powers (The abortion rights movement)

    Internet sources :

    1:WWW. Christianaction.org.za / Stop Abortion . 2005

    2: WWW. Godsdictcontact.com / should abortion be iilegal / 2010



    Paragraph 1 : The Problem I Am Going To Be Talking About Is Abortion. I am basically going to be Adovacating against abortion. The reason i am writing about this topic is because alot of unborn - babies are losing their lives by abortion

    2: Paragraph 2: What i learned from research and books is that , alot of Women / Teenagers are aborting their baby's worldwide and 205 million pregnancies occur each year worldwide.

    3&4: From my opinion i think abortion should stop , and make a law for it to stop because baby's deserve to live as any other human. My ideas is that women / teenagers should think more carefully before they end up in a wrong situation they can not handle.

    5: My solution is to get women / teenagers on birth control so they wont able to get pregnant or abort the baby.

  12. Class,

    Many of you have excellent outlines here! Job well done. It also looks like you've all selected some great books and Internet sources. Most of you need to work on formatting your citations correctly according to the model I provided at the top of the Blog. Make sure you correct these for your essays. I'll have to take off a few points for the formatting errors in your citations.

    Good start for those who posted.

    Mr. S
