Yes. Call me traditional, but in an essay I like to use facts and there are SO many myths about abortion to make it sound a hell of a lot worse than it is. Make sure you use reliable sources, and in order to get a good mark you're going to have to bring up points that are pro-abortion and counter argue them. For example, it isn't very logical to argue that abortion is bad because it's dangerous when childbirth is 12 times more likely to be fatal- a one sided argument is not going to get you a great mark so you're going to have to come up with something better than 'it's dangerous'. check out planned parenthood for reliable abortion info (although it is pro-choice they have reliable and unbiased facts about abortion safety and such so that you can make sure that what you're writing about is actually true) http://www.plannedparenthood.org/health-topics/abortion/in-clinic-abortion-procedures-4359.htm#safe JennyColada Posted at 11:07 am on Dec. 27, 2008 I would imagine that you want to make sure that you're using facts, and not opinions, in your essay, so I would think that using solid things (like cost, time it takes, etc.) instead of personal choice-matters (like how it may or may not effect a family, depression, etc.) would be a good idea. Carm Posted at 10:06 am on Dec. 27, 2008 1) people have begun to think of abortions as a form of birth control instead of being responsible 2) potential complications and physical harm to the mother 3) Bring up points about how early a fetus develops (to say that you are terminating life) ...etc?

Im so sorry about your baby brother, and I agree 100% with what you said.

FurryPanther Posted at 9:51 am on Dec. 27, 2008 The biggest one would be that it is murder, since it's consciously taking the life of another human being. Also, the procedures are not without risk.
