Week 5 (Presentation Blog)

Presentation Outline

Intro: Abortion is a controversial topic that can be heard both on and off the political playing        field.

Problem: Society is focused on the Pro-Life/Pro-Choice debate

-Whether people have the right to choose is not in debate. That is a human right.

-Pro-Life/Pro-Choice does not help the legislative debate (which is what matters from a government standpoint)

Solution: Change the debate!

-The question we should be asking: SHOULD THE GOVERNMENT BE PROVIDING SAFE, STERILE ABORTION PROCEDURE? IS THAT THEIR JOB?

-Keep in mind the international stats regarding abortion

                -WHO statistics:

                                - Highly restrictive abortion laws are not associated with lower abortion rates

                                - Africa:29-32 abortions per 1000 women

- Europe:12 abortions per 1000 women

My Opinion: I think that it can be easily argued that providing safe procedure would be safer for the women of America and, according to the World Health Organization’s numbers, ultimately result in an overall lower abortion rate.

However, the discussion is one we need to have as a country.
