Abortion: Is It Murder?
Number of pages: 1 | Number of words: 249.... have
been killed legally because of abortion. Many people approve of abortion
because they consider that a fetus is not an individual human until birth.
Abortion is wrong and it shouldn't be legal. If a doctor killed a baby
one minute after it were born, they would be charged with murder. But if they
were to kill a baby one minute before it were born, and a minute before that and
so on, they would not be considered a murderer. At what minute can one consider

Some people will say that abortion is not a matter of life and death,

Abortion: Birth Control Or Legal Murder?
Number of pages: 10 | Number of words: 2606.... life begins at birth. Abortion is not as simple as removing a "blob

vital amine. It was later discovered that different vitamins have different
chemical properties. This discovery caused vitamine to be turned into vitamin.
In 1912 Hopkins and Funk made a hypothesis. The hypothesis stated the

vitamins in the early years of vitamin research categorize them according to
their functions. As research progressed, the vitamins were given scientific
names.

What's Love Got To Do With It; Everything!
Number of pages: 6 | Number of words: 1436.... With this in mind, we should look at people
around us, people who are in love. Ask to yourself, Why are they in love? Then,
ask yourself, How are they in love? It may be surprising, but the answers to
these questions can be surpassingly different. Only when they are the same will
the love be true.

night. As previously stated, the story was written in 1981, and it appears to
set in the same time. Two couples are sit .....
