Robinson, A. Bruce. "Questions About the Morality of, and Access to Abortions; Biases; Definitions." Religious Tolerance 19 Sept. 2007. 24 Oct. 2007 http://www.religoustolerance.org/abofund.htm.

This website was made by Religious Tolerance and this specific part was written by Bruce Robinson. This website gives the basic information of abortion such as statistics and what abortion is. It also give both side views on the issue. It gives political standpoints as well as religious and ethical views. Although this website is more geared towards being against abortion, it would still be good to use in my paper to better support one of the sides I am trying to give evidence for. It has so much information from both sides as well as what it could do later in someone's life and the law with court rulings on the issue. These could show where the issue could end up in later years.



"Abortion Is Prolife." Capitalism Magazine 2007. 24 Oct. 2007
http://www.abortionisprolife.com/index.htm

This is a website created by Capitalism Magazine. It gives the side of people who believe in abortion being ok to do. It has different authors involved who discuss how it is not possible for an embryo to have "rights" because it is not even a human-being. I think this website will be helpful because it is a one-sided website that can give insight in my paper on what pro-choice believers think and how they justify their side. This website could have given a little more factual things instead of just opinions of the pro-choice believers. These articles give reasoning to this side of the case completely to this side which will be helpful.



Agresti, D. James. "Abortion Facts." Just Facts Foundation 12 Oct. 2007. 24 OCt. 2007 http://www.justfacts.com/abortion.asp.

Presently, all of the writing and research is done by James D. Agresti, who has a bachelor's of science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Brown University. This website does not give sides of the issue or personal political views of the writers on the issue and tries to keep adverbs and subjective adjectives to a minimum. It just gives the facts that go to abortion. It explains the science of fertilization and when a woman gets an abortion, the long term effects that could occur. I shows the politics and how the media portrays this event without giving opinions. This will definately be of use to my paper because I can show where one side or the other gets their information and what is right and wrong.



McKinley, Brian. "Why Abortion is Biblical." 2005. 24 Oct. 2007 http://www.elroy.net/ehr/abortion.html.

This article was written by Brian Mckinley who wrote this to speak his opinion because he does not believe abortion is wrong and believes that he has not found anything in scripture that proves him wrong. One of the main points of people believing in pro-life is how it is in the Bible that it is wrong. This author uses the Bible as a way to say that God does not look down on abortion and that when people against abortion use the Bible as their reasoning they misrepresent it. This is very interesting to use because the author completely puts a different viewpoint on how the Bible is interpreted to help the pro-choice view. He explains how the Bible verses are not taught correctly and he raises many questions about the point of view taken from the Bible. Although he may not be a credible source, it is a view that may be shared by many other people with his opinion and it makes for a stable argument against the pro-life believers.



Finney, A. Raymond. "ABortion and the Bible." 4 Sept. 2003. 24 Oct. 2007. http://www.abortion-and-bible.com/
This piece was written by a retired physician, Raymond Finney. He writes this from personal and medical experience and is a firm believer in God. This is firmly pro-life and shows this sides perception of the Bible counter acting the other site I chose. I think this would be good to use in an argumentative paper because I have two site who use the same source and totally different ways to support their views. This was written by a man who just wanted to put his views out there and is definately an opinionated piece so it is not something to use for facts. I can only use it for giving a look at what this side thinks.

"About ABortion: Understanding the Issue." 11 Sept. 2000. 25 Oct. 2007 http://www.aboutabortions.com/.
This website was written as a blog which allows people to respond and give their side of the issue. It has quotes from different sources and gives different ways to look at abortion. I will probably use some of the different quotes and the reasoning given in the blog posts. It could have been more helpful if more people had responded to this post so I could have more people to go off of. This writer wants to stimulate a debate and anyone to expand on his/her points made.

"Abortion Methods." Niagara Region Right to Life Association 25 Oct. 2007 http://www.lifesite.net/abortiontypes/
This website was sponsored by Niagara Region to give information on the different types of abortions there are. It discusses the procedures of what the doctors do during any of the types and very vividly what happens to the aborted baby. This will be useful in my paper because in defining abortion, the process is a very important part. Some people use it as a term without really understanding what happens. These aspects will allow for expansion on the basics and definition of abortion. It would have been more useful if it had expanded on what it was telling like why some ways are more used than others or what is more difficult to recover from.

"Types of Abortion Procedures." American Pregnancy Association Jan. 2007. 25 Oct. 2007 http://www.americanpregnancy.org/unplannedpregnancy/abortionprocedures.html.
This association sponsored this website to also tell the different kinds of abortion, some of which that are not mentioned in the first website I gave. This gives the time in which these abortions take place, like first and second trimesters of pregnancy. This website is a pregnancy website that gives all information like how to get pregnant, pregnancy wellness, how to be prepared, etc. I think this will be useful in my paper to go along with the other abortion types website that it can be more accurate. It would be more helpful if it had given more information on the procedures and why certain ones are done during the different trimesters.
