Abortion Debate/Argumentative Essay
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page research paper/argumentative essay that examines the issues surrounding the abortion debate. Abortion is definitively the most "divisive bio-ethical issue of our time" (Levine, 1993, p. 22). In 1973, the Supreme Court decision of Roe v. Wade ignited a national debate concerning the proper regulation of abortion that has continued to the present (Roy, 2003). Seizing on the language used by the Court, lawyers and commentators have framed this debate almost exclusively in terms of the "woman's right to abortion and the fetus' lack of a corresponding personhood right" (Roy, 2003, p. 339). Examination of this issue shows that both sides have legitimate arguments, but that there are also points on which the majority of the American people can agree. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Abusing Handicapped Parking Placards
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. What possesses able-bodied individuals to illegally steal parking spaces from those who truly need the special location? For many, it is the opportunity to expedite the tedious job of parking; for others, it is a subconscious test to see just how far they can push the system. While doing so may appear to be nothing more than a minor inconvenience for those who have legal privilege to the parking space, abusing ADA placards represents much more than that. The perpetual misuse of handicapped parking placards takes away the individual's security of knowing that there will be an available space to use; when an able-bodied person illegally uses that space, the handicapped individual is forced to find the nearest open spot, which is sometimes all the way across the parking lot. Indeed, this invalidates the very reason for obtaining the parking placard in the first place. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
