Looks like you've got the topics covered, I don't really have any feedback to give so good job.
ReplyDeleteI think your thesis is strong and specific enough to guide your essay. Nice outline! Your overall organization makes sense and I'm sure you'll find more than enough information to support your claim. I'm amazed at how many aspects this subject has! Religion, science, different procedure, side effects, views, etc. I am interested to see your final product.
ReplyDeleteThis is a daring topic choice, abortion is such a controversial subject. There are soooo many different perspectives to consider concerning abortion, most of which it looks like you have covered! You've included religious as well as social aspects, but I noticed you didn't include cultural differences. In places like China, where they have (or had, I'm not sure if this is still happening) laws regulating the number of children a family can have due to over-population, abortion is extraordinarily common. I even heard they sometimes will "terminate" baby girls AFTER they've been born, simply because boys are much more desired. It's truly heartbreaking.
ReplyDeleteAs advised, I would be careful with going into details about the procedures in general. Your argument needs to stay very clear and directed. Most of the information you are presenting seems to go this direction, but evaluate some of your topics to ensure they stay focused.
