A Pro-Choice Argument
2114 Words - 8 Pages

.... Violent pro-life activists commit heinous crimes against doctors who perform abortions, thinking that they are justified in bringing harm to these "murderers".

This is always a hard decision to make. It involves a lot of thought, and may cause guilt or regret after the pr ....

.... adequate sanitation facilities. A vaccine against the illness has been developed, but it is not very effective. People who travel in areas where Cholera is widespread should not drink the local water. They should cook all foods that may have been exposed to water. Peru, already afflicted by economic ills and feastering guerilla insurgency, is now plagued by an epidemic of Cholera. As of February 25, 1991, the disease had claimed 90 lives and infected at least 14,000 people. It is the first major outbreak of Cholera in the western hemisphere since early in this century.
