LAW 204 - Abortion Controversy Seminar.

This seminar will broadly examine the abortion controversy. Specific topics depend in large part upon student choice, but you can expect the course to range well beyond Supreme Court cases. Past offerings have covered such issues as fetal personhood; the use and relevance of demonstrative evidence, including fetal ultrasound requirements; partial-birth abortion; the proper scope of health and safety regulations for abortion clinics; the appropriate role, if any, of males in the debate; Planned Parenthood; and the proper role, if any, of religious values. Students will lead a class discussion and write a research paper structured to satisfy the upper-level writing requirement. Two hours. Calhoun Not offered in 2014-15.
