Abortion Debates

After watching the film The Last Abortion Clinic (Per. 1 on 11/10, Per. 6 on 11/12) and prior to our closer look at the Supreme Court's current decision on whether or not to review the Texas abortion cases, Currier v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization and Whole Woman’s Health v. Cole, it will be important for us to continue to work to understand the issues regarding abortion that are still vexing the nation. On Thursday 11/12 (per. 1) and Friday 11/13 (per. 6) we will begin preparations for a series of short debates/discussions we'll be having on these issues.  
After being randomly assigned one of the questions below, you should use the linked research sheets to keep track of the information that you find that helps to answer your question. Your preparation is due on Monday because on Monday and Tuesday of next week, you'll be asked to share the information that you find.
