Late-Term Abortion Should Not Be Banned Abortion is a widely debated topic that has been conflicting politicians and women around the world. Abaluck’s article‚ “Late-Term Abortion Should Not Be Banned” did not provide half as many sources or facts as Boland’s article‚ “Second Trimester Abortion Laws Globally.” Boland provided more statistics and alternant resources for the reader.

Writing is not something that comes natural to me. Writing is a very long and tedious process mainly because I have to collect all my thoughts and try to put them into grammatically correct sentences. I have written many shitty first drafts in the past 17 years of my life. For example‚ my last English teacher‚ which I hated with a burning passion‚ made my class write an essay about a monster.
