The topic I am choosing to write about is the issue of abortion. I am going to discuss everything that is involved in abortion, what it is, the different methods of abortion, statistics, the differences between pro choice and pro life, laws concerning abortion, the after effects of it of women, history of it, court cases involving it, prevention methods and my personal opinion on the issue.
I have four sources from which I have gathered all my information. The first two are websites. The first site, called http://www.abortionfacts.com/, talks about everything from the history of abortion, effects of abortion, arguments over it, testimonials from women who have gone through it, it discusses the problem of post abortion syndrome and gives advice to help women who are considering going getting an abortion or who have already been through it and need help coping with their decision. The next source I used was the site http://www.emedicinehealth.com/abortion/article_em.htm. This site discusses the types of abortion, it provides an explanation of all the different procedures done during abortion, some history and statistics on it, and it explains abortion rights in the United States.
The next two sources I used were both books. The first book is called Abortion Questions and Answers: Love Them Both. The Author’s of this book are Dr.Willke and his wife Mrs.Willke. In this book they talk about the all the differences between pro life and pro choice. While this book talks about both sides of the issue, the writers are both pro life and in ways try and persuade the reader to believe that pro life is the best choice. The book also discusses religious belief vs. civil rights. It also talks about the history and laws of abortion, the health of the woman, during and after the abortion, and the rights of the unborn baby. This book argues that the unborn child still has the right to live and that abortion is wrong in many ways. At the end of the book it goes on to suggest alternative choices for pregnant women instead of abortion. The second book I used in my research was the book called The Pro-Choice Movement: Organization and Activism in the Abortion Conflict by Suzanne Staggenborg. In this book the author talks all about the legalization of abortion. Everything from its origins, its history, pro choice movement organizations and interviews with pro choice activists.
My targeted audience for this paper would be anyone from young teen girls, who may not know much about abortion, pregnant women who are considering their options and want to know whether or not abortion is the right choice for them, or just anyone who is interested in the topic in general. I feel this is a very important issue to be talked about because it causes so much controversy and everyone is very strongly opinionated when it comes to this and I felt like discussing everyone’s sides so that the reader gets a good view of the whole subject.

That's a very good topic to consider. Still, it is very sensitive and the opposing sides tend to overlook many aspects surrounding abortion, like the impact on men and the lack of legislature letting them have a say, harassment of doctors who perform abortions, induced abortions that are still practiced in some countries as a weapon against political opponents. I have collected many questions to ask and credible resources to consult in this post: https://www.make-a-stand.com/abortion-essay-topics-sources/ Hope it will be useful for writing an abortion essay.
