Whats up everyone, i'm working on my Abortion paper for my Sociology 1113 class anywho, i can't find any internet sources that list the Pros of abortion, i know everyone will talk about Women's Rights but i need some detail, can u help me out palease :)
 
Just to be clear, are you defending the pros of abortion in this paper, or the pros of having a choice? I may be pro-choice, but I am very far from pro-abortion. It is a way out of a bad situation (rape, incest, other), not something to look forward to. And there are usually many choices OTHER than abortion that don't seem feasible to a person in a bad state of mind, and the long-lasting effects of an abortion (psychological and physical) are often pushed aside with a sometimes too-quick decision...

I'd suggest that you be very clear with what you are defending in the paper. This makes the research a whole lot easier.
 
i'm not defending anything, in college papers you don't do an opinion paper unless thats what is called for, so this isn't what i think.
 
oh man, Sociology, i feel so so so sorry for you. I just got out of my sociology class and I'm glad I'm never gunna have to take another one for the rest of my life.
 
my class if fun my teacher is a riot :)
 
hmm, well i couldn't stand my class. It was incredibly biased. The excersizes my Prof did in class didn't make sense. I'd say something like "But it doesn't work that way, it doesn't make sense" She'd say "That doesn't matter just look at this" and her whole excersize would be proving a point but it would be based on a false premise and thus didn't prove anything. It essentially carried as much weight as, Its true because i tell you its true. The Prof was a complete bone head, she treated her opinion as fact. Ugh that is brainwashing, i payed around $450 - $500 with tuition and books just to have an attempted brainwashing occur on me. Ugh, I'm a bitter bitter bitter man. Bitter at the age of 18 its quite sad what that class did to me. Also, my TA was exactly the same.
 
The words "pro choice" or "reproductive rights" will bury you in data. Also the "Roe v Wade", which is the pivotal case. Planned Parenthood's website will have a bunch of links. The US Supreme Court is good place to look.

Yes, I'd suggest looking at Planned Parenthood's site.
 
There are several medical reasons for abortion, which more or less fall under two categories: conditions that are a risk for the mother, and genetic conditions of the child that have a near 100% mortality. The vast majority fall under the latter heading. Most parents do not want to bear a child with a misery-inducing disease that will kill the baby 2 months later (e.g Tay Sachs disease). As for risks to the mother, I'm not too sure (I'm not a gynecologist), but an ectopic pregnancy (one outside of the uterus) is destroyed during the procedure, although whether or not it was viable in the first place is highly questionable.

Then there are the myriad of social reasons (rape, incest, financial burden) that are probably more common reasons for VTOP, although that may just be my misconception (pun intended).

But Sanaz is correct; pro-choice and pro-abortion are different. I just gave you some justifications for why abortion may be necessary, which from what I gather is what you need.
 
well its 5 pages i got done with it, i already had listed Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey and i was also listing the Pros of abortion and Cons. Since i couldn't get any help early this morning i kinda just beat around the bush on it lol
 
Depending on what college you go to, If you just cross your i's and dot yout t's, hand it in on time, and participate in class, you'll get an A:D
 
I don't suppose you went to Wes?:hmm:
