FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded):

It is important for my audience to understand when a human life actually "begins", which is when a sperm cell fertilizes an egg, "known technically as the 'zygote,' containing the full set of forty-six chromosomes required to creat new human life. Conception has occurred" (Bender, 17).

Shettles, with a Ph.D and M.D. from Johns Hopkins University, strongly opposes abortion, and supports his position by saying, "I do so, first, because I accept what is biologically manifest-that human life commences at the time of conception-and, second, because I believe it is wrong to take innocent human life under any circumstances" (Bender, 20).

Emotional bonds create a huge difference in the decision making of an abortion patient; two women had "decided against abortion after seeing ultrasonic pictures of their unborn children... such an experience precipitated the onset of maternal bonding..." (Bender, 31).

Conservative women have a hard time understanding why any woman would want an abortion, because women who "embrace and celebrate their own women's devotion to childbearing have little difficutly appreciating why abortion is a moral issue, they recognize and cherish the deep and fundamental values at stake in these decisions" (Bender, 53-54).

It is difficult for legislation to rule that abortions are illegal, since there are problems that may occur as a result, "who would suggest that we repeal the laws against such crimes because the laws are so often broken?" (Bender, 77).

This book takes a conflict and dissects it with numerous arguments coming from different credible sources. It discusses moral issues as well as legal issues and different viewpoints and solutions that may fix the problems. The author himself does not take any sides, only expresses the perspective of other prestigious doctors and well regarded scholars.

Yes, he cites all of his references and they add to the credibility greatly.
 Use of Source: How will you use this source in your project? I can use this to argue for my solution to the moral issues of abortions and also come up with counter-arguments to refute the opposing side.
