Tuesday September 17

For the first part of class we went over the ma. Then we talked about current events. We talked about the Washington Naval Port. It was 2 miles from the capital and 3 miles from the white house. There was 13 killed and 18 injured. This terrible person who did this a 36 year old man named Aaron Alexis was found dead. Mr. Bruns said that this was the most deadliest military since a long time ago. Then the last group presented which there topic was abortion and below are my notes.

-It was legal until 1880

- Mostly poor and African American did dangerous self abortions

-Many died or had chronic illness or pain

-Physicians and other medical practitioners risked their licenses to provide people with legal abortions

-New York was the very first state to legalize abortion in 1970

-Alaska and Washington followed

-Operation Rescue 1980s tens of thousands of people were arrested for getting caught

-The Texas law in 1973 was only legal if the mother would be hurt if she had the baby.

-Pro life means you do not believe in abortion and if you don't want it give it up for adoption don't murder it.

-Pro choice means that if you believe in abortion should be the mothers have the choice of abortion
