I will be covering the topic of abortions in America. There is a lot of information to digest and I will try to keep it to a 10 slide maximum (including the title slide and APA reference list) The research I conduct will be conducted in as much of a neutral way as possible, but since I am pro-life, it may tend to lean toward that direction. The research will begin with the U.S. history of the procedure, and things that have shaped the argument, e.g. planned parenthood, touch on the sexual liberation of the feminist movement of the 1960s/70s, and Roe v. Wade, and give data of current abortions statistics, based on location, age, race, and income. The research will transition to medical/scientific research; the pregnancy process, starting from fertilization. I want to give a visual (picture) of the pregnancy stages and describe the weekly to monthly stages of the pregnancy, and key indicators on when the brain, heart, nervous system and other major developments happen. And then, I will cover the abortion process, and how it an abortion is done in each trimester (abortion pill to an invasive late term abortion) to include visuals/pictures. From there the research will transition to the legality of a U.S. abortion, and cover the ruling of Roe V. Wade, and compare and contrast liberal U.S. States laws (e.g. New York, California, Virginia) with conservative U.S. States laws (e.g. Texas, Alabama). The research will go into a philosophical direction, focusing on an individuals morality/faith based (Christian) values determine their decision to have or not to have an abortion. Things to include will be the pro-life argument of rape, incest, health of the mother (life or death situation), my body my choice and include the data/statistics of how common these situations are in abortions. Also, I will present other alternatives to abortion, e.g. adoption, and the accessibility and cost of different types of birth control, e.g. pill, shot, IUD, etc.; also research and make an argument on whether the Plan B pill is a type of abortion.
