Abortion

So....I wanted to do my paper on Abortion and if the fetus has rights to life but i don't know how to make it inquiry driven. I seriously need help because i'm so unsure what to do at this point. Maybe i should switch my paper to "whether abortion is immoral?" I don't know.

  1. What if you brought in both main advocates either for or against abortion and formulated a question along the lines of.. "Who should have the overriding decision regarding the legalization of abortion; the church or the state?"

    This way you can formulate your own opinion as to whether it is right that the state makes the decision or if the church has a say.

  2. Remember that "formulating your own opinion" isn't really what we're trying to do here-- rather we are trying to produce new knowledge, insight, or understanding about something.

    What Heaven needs to think about is where there is room for her to *analyze* (critique, expand, interpret, question). Instead of trying to pick a side, the point might be better framed as analyzing the "sides" in order to better understand the *complexity* of the positions that people on each "side" actually have . . . .
