Partial Birth Abortions
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Considered by some to be nothing more than a veiled lack of responsibility, partial birth abortions have come to the forefront of controversy. As if abortion, in and of itself, was not a hot enough issue for debate, both the procedure and reasoning behind partial birth abortion are under fire. Women whose fetuses have known birth defects most commonly utilize this highly invasive procedure as a means by which to terminate the late-term pregnancy. After the baby is purposely turned in the breach position, the doctor pulls it down through the birth canal until the only part left inside the mother's body is the head, which legally maintains its fetus status. The brain is then suctioned out and the skull crushed before the body is completely expelled. Indeed, the primary arguments about this particular procedure revolve around the status of personhood, as well as the reasons to even employ such a horrific alternative. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Screening Tool Evaluation on Thin And Standard Prep Pap Smear
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Prevention can mean the difference between life and death when it comes to cancer, which is why the cervicovaginal smear, otherwise known as Pap smear, is one of the most effective screening tools for women still utilized today. Developed decades ago by Dr. George Papanicolaou, the Pap smear is considered one of but a handful of diagnostic tests that can "detect the presence of a premalignant lesion allowing for the prevention of cancer" (Anonymous, 2002). By comparison, the preventative nature of Pap smear results rivals that of most all other tests, in that existing technology finds cancer once it has already had time to progress, making it extremely difficult in many cases to prevent cancer-related death. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

The Complexities of Abortion: The Issues of Choice Verses Right to Life
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page discussion of the many issues surrounding abortion. Notes that despite the common perception of abortions being sought by strictly irresponsible women, the choice to have an abortion is not always cut and dried. Such choices can involve pregnancies resulting from rape, illegitimate pregnancies, pregnancies in which the mother’s life is endangered, and pregnancies in which the fetus has been determined to be malformed or diseased. Concludes that governmental intervention in these issues is not the solution, that the real solution lies in allowing women to decide on an individual basis whether an abortion is the appropriate course of action.
