    The analysis for experiment four: Stoi 903was conducted by Me (name) and my partner (name). They analysis performed for experiment four: Stoi 903 took place at Texas State University- San Marcos in room 117 of the chemistry building. The concentrations used in the experiment were both .5 M sodium hypochlorite and sodium thiosulfate. The concentrations of the solutions found in the dumpster were calculated to be .806 M (both sodium hypochlorite and sodium thiosulfate as well). This was found by taking the 6.0% (by mass) sodium hypochlorite and multiplying it by 1 gram of solution, 1000 mL and 1 mol NaClO. This result was then divided by the result of 100g of solvent, multiplied by 1 mL of solution and 1L which equals 60g NaClO. 60g was then divided by the molar mass of NaClO (74.44) which equals .806 mol NaClO. The same can be done for sodium thiosulfate which results in the same molarity.…

    Canada has a history with the controversial issue of abortion. The two sides to this topic have strong opinions about the right and wrong decisions when it comes to abortion. One might believe that abortion should not exist in Canadian society. These people are most likely known as pro-life; who believe abortion is equal to murder. Others believe that abortion is a good thing, and has had a strong impact on Canadian society. These people are pro-choice, they believe abortion is a way to help an individual's life for the better. The R.v. Morgentaler case was about two men, including Morgentaler who were licensed physicians, they set up a private clinic providing abortion services to women who did not have the necessary approval and they were criminally charged. The R.v. Morgentaler case made a significant impact on Canadian society; more broadly this case impacted the women of Canada by granting women greater equality rights, giving them a healthier along with a safe lifestyle, and it got rid of illegal acts made by doctors.…

    Pow! There it hits you like a gunshot to the heart. All you can think about is how did you let this happen? Why me? How are you going to take care of a child that you are not ready for? Then abortion pops in your mind, thinking that will be the best, fastest way to fix the unwanted problem, but it is not. Nothing good comes from aborting that is why it should be illegal. There are many reasons why but the three main reasons why I believe it should be illegal is it kills an innocent child, it causes mental issues, and women think that they have no choice.…

    I strongly believe a fetus is not a human until the day he/she is born. Therefore abortion should be legal for the purpose that the mother has all control over the dependent being inside her. The fetus is a parasitic being which is living off the mother so Thomson is right when he says we have no obligation towards the fetus. Although I do not think the fetus is a person, Thomson for argument sake says the fetus is a person. Thomson has this claim to conclude that humans have no duty to keep another human alive, such as in the kidnapping case. Also I agree with the ruling of Roe vs. Wade that the matter is a private issue which the mother has all control over her body and anything inside it. Abortion should be legal solely for the reason that a fetus has the “potential” to be a human therefore not a human yet. This issue is one of the most controversial arguments in the world especially in the Catholic religion.…

    Throughout history, there have been many topics that have caused disagreements among citizens of the United States. Abortion is one issue that has caused a lot of controversy between Americans. Abortion is the deliberate termination of a pregnancy, which can happen in several different ways depending on how far a woman is in her pregnancy. Many of these methods have been considered unethical by different groups of people. Over the years, court cases, religious groups, and the government have tried to resolve this controversy. However, Americans have so many different opinions on abortion that it makes it hard to resolve. According to a Marist Poll conducted in December 2011, 79% of Americans do not support the current abortion-on-demand policy, saying abortion should be legal only in some circumstances (68%), or illegal in all circumstances (11%) (MCCL). It’s a concern to many Americans because it affects people socially, economically, politically, and religiously in many different ways.…

    An estimated 1.3 million abortions are performed annually or approximately two and a half abortions every minute (Abortion). In all societies, women have sought to terminate pregnancies for many reasons. Republicans and democrats support either the right to live or the right to decide. The debate whether abortion should be made legal continues to divide republicans and democrats long after the U.S. Supreme Court’s 7-2 decision on Roe v. Wade declaring abortion a “fundamental” right (Roe V. Wade). The conflict over abortion that was divided into two camps, Pro-Life and Pro-Choice, sparked different views in conservatives and liberals; supporters of both camps may come together to help in sex education, distribution of birth control, and protection to avoid unwanted pregnancies.…
