Annotating a Scholarly Article 2nd draft

Abortion

            In this article he talks about abortions and how it was a major issue in 2008. How people should have the right to do what they want if they want it. Also talks how Barack Obama said that he would change extend to the modest legal protections pro-lifers.  Cardinal Francis Stafford said that Obama's "extremist anti-life platform ... is aggressive, disruptive and apocalyptic." He summed up the dark mood of his fellow activists: "On November 4, 2008, America suffered a cultural earthquake."

                This article is about abortion and how Obama is trying to fight over FOCA. The author has shown both sides of each story, and how the bishop doesn’t want to allow abortions in hospitals. It also shows how abortions should be someone’s person’s choice, not anybody else’s. The author also shows a statistic “in a study published with the conservative Heritage Foundation, estimated that FOCA would result in approximately 125,000 more abortions performed annually.” By professor Michael.

I feel very strong about this paper because I feel that people should have the right to do what they want. It’s their choice if they want to have a kid or not.

  1. Hi Krystal:

    Well, the subject of the article is interesting and, as always, controversial.

    However, I can't really tell from your summary what the major points of the article's argument are. The fragments don't make my task easier, of course: you need to edit your work and provide more help for your reader.

    Your second paragraph seems closer to what it should be doing, providing some reasoned evaluation. But half of the paragraph is a quotation. I need to see more your thinking here.



    good use of MLA: Dougherty, Michael Brendan. "Fight of their lives: what anti-abortion activists can expect from an Obama administration." The American Conservative 8.1 (2009): 20+. Global Issues in Context. Web. 16 Apr. 2012.
