Abortion: Late-Term/Partial-Birth

I choose this topic because it sounds interesting and I would like to learn about. Another reason is because just the topic in general got my attention knowing that how many babies are not even brought to this world and they are being  killed by their own mother.

  • What is the topic you are reading about? The topic I'm reading about how abortion has been going on since the passage of Roe V. Wade in 1973. The passage talks about how women had the right to be protect if they choose abortion.
  • What is the source citation? Just copy and paste it from the bottom onto your blog : "Abortion: Late-Term/Partial-Birth." Opposing Viewpoints Online Collection. Detroit: Gale, 2014.Opposing Viewpoints in Context. Web. 7 Oct. 2015.
  • Summarize the central idea of the overview in one or two sentences : The central idea of the overview is how Abortion foes have become emboldened to act ever more aggressively at chipping away at the edges of a woman’s right to choose, and states have reacted swiftly to institute prohibitive legal barriers of their own.  History also  shows that the abortion ban of 2003 indeed marked a turning point—what is not known is whether it will ultimately be for better or worse.
  • List two to four specific details that support the central idea : States reacted to institute legal barriers of their own.
  • Create an opportunity for further research by writing down two questions : Why did women have the right to abortion during that time?/ How has all that changed overtime?
  • Write down one word or phrase whose meaning you do not fully understand : anti-abortionist tactics

Potential Research Topics

The five topics I choose are Abortion: Late- Term/Partial-Birth, Bullying, Cancer, Drug Abuse, and Teen Suicide. I choose these topics because they sound interesting and would like to find more information about it. I also choose these topics because there's things that I don't know and sometimes it's good to know things that we should know about, and might be useful later in life.





  • What is the topic you are reading about? The topic I'm reading about is Drug Abuse and the article is basically talking about how drugs are affecting many people. Some drugs are used for medicines and to help prevent diseases. But some people under age use drugs and it ends up affecting their health. When they start using it all the time they become addicted to them and hazardous to the health and safety of others.
  • What is the source citation? "Drug Abuse." Opposing Viewpoints Online Collection. Detroit: Gale, 2014. Opposing Viewpoints in Context. Web. 5 Oct. 2015.
  • Summarize the central idea of the overview in one or two sentence: The central idea of the article is too help others realize how it can affect them and how they can get a treatment if they want to continue a new life without drugs.
  • List two to four specific details that support the central idea : only a few people have access to drug treatment, if they can't pay for it.
  • Create an opportunity for further research by writing down two questions the text raises about the central idea: Why do only current people have access to treatmet?
  • Write down one word or phrase whose meaning you do not fully understand :  narcotics

    - The subject I enjoy reading the most is Fiction because not everything we read is base on a true story.
    - My favorite pastime is spending time with my friends and catch up to the things we been working on.
    - If I won the lottery, I would use the money for my college spending.
    - The type of volunteer activity I prefer is helping kids because they are fun too work with.
    - My favorite school subject has always been Spanish because its fun and easy.
