Final Presentation

For my end of the year research project, I chose the topic, abortion. I thought this topic would be a very beneficial topic for me to research because I’ve always wondered about the science and politics behind abortion and this gave me the opportunity to research these things. Throughout this assignment I have learned alot of information that I think will stay with me; and will probably have to say when abortion comes up in a conversation because now I have my own opinions about it, with good reasons behind them also.
I read The Cider House Rules, by John Irving, and if you’re into really long books, that will make you think you honestly might like it. That is, as long as you’re okay with reading about abortion and you can stick with a book that starts off really slow. For my interview/interaction I interviewed one of my friends that has had an abortion. I think the most interesting thing I learned about were the underground abortion clinics or the amount of people who got abortions done illegally, even though they’re very painful and risky.

I have decided that I personally, am against abortion, and wouldn’t ever get one myself, but could defiantly see why someone would chose to have one. I decided this because I don’t think that it’s worth the risks that come along with it and I’m already terrified of getting any kind of cancer so if your chances of getting breast cancer increases if you have an abortion then that’s defiantly not happening. The one thing I wish I would have done differently was probably do all my research on time and didn’t wait till the last minute. I’d also probably go more in depth with each of the controversies, because there’s always two sides to every story. But overall, I really enjoyed this research project and am very glad I had the opportunity to research something that I actually had interest in to do.
