FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded): |
Planned parenthood very strongly believes that "Abortion is a safe and legal way to end pregnancy" (P.P.) and stands behind that, making a stance as pro-choice. |
According to planned parenthood, "There are two kinds of abortion in the U.S.- in-clinic abortion and the abortion pill" (P.P.) they further support pro-choice by giving options for abortion. |
Planned parenthood gives support to pro-choice through an attempt by popular fallacy, "Abortions are very common. In fact, more than 1 out of 3 women in the U.S. have an abortion by the time they are 45 years old" (P.P.), so if everybody is doing it, so can I. |
Planned parenthood also takes a side with pro-life, showing ambiguity, they say that "If you are trying to decide if abortion is the right choice for you, you probably have many things to think about.. learn more about parenting and adoption" (P.P). |
Again they show that they are not bias by stating that, "Only you can decide what is best for you. But we are here to help" (P.P.). |
Summary of Source (Three-Four Sentences of the Who, What, Where, Why, and How in your own words. NO OPINION):
Planned parenthood is an organization that attempts to provide help for those who are pregnant whether or not they want an abortion. They have locations all over the country and are willing to work with anyone to help them make a decision and the process after. I do not know why they do this besides the fact that they would like to help people with their pro-life or pro-choice decisions.
Credibility of Source:
Author or Site: Who is the author? What training have they had? If there is no author, examine the site. What is the purpose of the site? Who funds the site?
I do not know who the author is or what training they have had. From funds, the only thing that I can determine is the donations they receive. It is .org, so they are non-profit I assume. Maybe the government helps with funding.
Attachment: Does the author or site have anything to gain from writing this, or is it simply informative? For example, is it a cigarette business posting an article about the benefit of cigarettes, or is it a scientific community unaffiliated with the cigarette business?
It is simply informative, its only purpose seems to be to help others.
Bias: Do you detect a bias (a favoring of either side) in the author's writing?
At first I thought that the website was pro-choice, but when I read more I was able to understand that they also address those who are pro-life and solutions towards how to take care of a child if kept.
References: Does the author cite references in the writing? If so, do these add or take away from the credibility?
From what I can see, no other sources are cited. This does subtract from the credibility but it seems like a very legitimate organization, one that I have heard of before. So I do think it is a credible site.
Use of Source: How will you use this source in your project?
This source can be used to see from both sides of the spectrum. It addresses arguments for pro-life and pro-choice, and offers solutions for both.
