[Also, even if it your your first choice, you may not argue in the paper from or against any abortion issue or any religiously based ethical theory, e.g. Divine Command Theory, Natural Law, etc. Pick a second approach if this would be your first choice.] DO NOT JUST WRITE ABOUT A CHAPTER. DO NOT JUST WRITE ABOUT THE ISSUE - APPLY STUDIED IN THIS COURSE MORAL THEORETICAL REASONING! Employ and demonstrate your grasp of studued materials - do NOT just throw out unstadied opinions.
