Introduction and Methods

Introduction Abortion a very big controversial issue at hand, but many people forget the importance in safety of abortion and how emergency contraception plays a part. About 88% of women who are treated for an abortion are less than 13 weeks pregnant. Of these women, 97% have no further complications prior. The 2.5% that do, can be treated for at a medical facility or abortion office. The 0.5% with more serious complications require additional surgery and/or hospitalization. Safety for abortion seems to be located where illegal abortion is common. As for emergency contraception, including the brands Plan-B One Step and Next Choice One Dose, are up to 89% effective when taken within a 72 hour period, but are less effective as time passes. While there are many types of emergency contraception, none are 100% effective. Certain pills contain specific hormone antagonists that can make the pill more or less effective for chances of getting pregnant. Methods Methods used were SurveyMonkey taken by classmates to find out effectiveness of contraceptives and abortion. Interview done on two people. One who has had an abortion and one who has taken an emergency contraceptive.

Rhetorical Moves In Powerpoint Articles

The purpose for both of these articles was to argue how specific designs and way of displaying the powerpoint for a certain subject is important in remembering and retaining the information given in the presentation. They both present pros and cons of powerpoint presentations in an organized manner for the reader's understanding. The audience is for people who frequently use Powerpoint for learning, teaching, and informative purposes. "PowerPoint and Sentence Headings" gives the reader a lot of images within the article. This can help provide a stronger argument and visual for the reader. It also includes examples on how to properly design and present an effective PowerPoint. The second article, "Is There Power in the PowerPoint?", gives data tables and go into more research for its argument. Both articles present their arguments at different points of view with different forms of organization.

Topic Proposal

The topic I have chosen for the third writing assignment is safety of abortions and effectiveness on emergency contraception. This is an important topic because it is a specific area of scientific research that can relate to people of various ages. It is also important because legalized abortion and emergency contraception is still a very controversial topic within the United States.

My two research questions are:
Can we increase the safety of abortions?
Is emergency contraception effective? (and does this correlate with those who go on to have abortions)

I plan on conducting an interview/survey with five people. Two people who have had a early and late abortion, one person who has used emergency contraception that has not worked and the results after, one person who has used emergency contraception once, and one person who has used emergency contraception multiple times.
I will also do a small survey in class to see what people know about abortion and their opinions/choices on the different types of group views pertaining to abortion and emergency contraception.

The interview will be done on a few people of different ages. These various surveys will help my research with actual examples and thus, give me real views and opinions on what people think and know about this topic. I will then be able to back my research with these personal interviews/surveys.

Topic and Research Questions

My topic for this paper is on legalized abortion. The two questions I have to choose from my gap in my previous paper are 1. Can we increase the safety of abortions? and 2. Is emergency contraception effective? (and does this correlate with those who go on to have abortions).
