2nd assignment


1. What is your stance on abortion? Give three reasons why (this is your own thoughts). Explain clearly and use a lot of detail. - 5 points
I am personally in favor of abortion it prevents irresponsible mothers from having to have a child they don't want or is not ready for. With out abortion America is filled with neglected children and mothers trying to perform unsafe and illegal abortions. I think that a pregnancy should be a women's own choice not the laws.
2. Copy/paste evidence that supports that supports your views. Make sure you use quotation marks (" ") because these are NOT your words. - 3 points
"women have a moral right to decide what to do with their bodies","banning abortion puts women at risk by forcing them to use illegal abortionists","This argument reminds us that even in the abortion debate we should regard the woman as a person and not just as a container for the foetus. We should therefore give great consideration to her rights and needs as well as those of the unborn."
3. Explain the quote you chose for number 2 in your own words. You can explain it in the following ways: relate it to something that happened in your life or someone else's, explain why you agree with the statement, explain it to the reader with more detail in case the reader might not understand the quote, or give the reader a hypothetical situation in which the quote plays out. (Whichever why you decide to explain your quote, you should have at least 3 sentences to be thorough) - 6 points
I agree with the first statement because women should not be told or forced to do certain things with their body's. The second statement is because I think abortions are safer then women going to great lengths to get rid of a baby.The third is just to consider women's rights and reason to own their own bodies. All of the ideas support my pro-choice stance.

4. Can you relate your life to this picture? Why or why not?
Their's not much a teenage girl could relate too underwater photography. But i can relate to photography and how this is considered an art for. I know I'm not the only one amazed in the photography community. In the model sense I could probably relate being a swimmer myself but how she stayed so still is a mystery to me. So kudos to the model, photographer and whole crew for this photo!
