Doctors who work in abortion clinics have been the target of hate crimes in recent years. How could these crimes be eliminated? Why does there seem to be support for these kinds of actions?

Below are the teacher’s instructions:
Websites/Discussion Paper
The ‘paper’ is actually two assignments, but I want you to bundle it into one document. This helps me keep from having to open and close a million documents during the term. It is simple, it’s not a research paper but an ‘idea’ paper. I would like you to do two things in this document.

1. Give me five ideas for discussion.. Make these items something that you think you would enjoy discussing yourself or things you think your classmates would relate to. For example, don’t just list Abortion as a topic. You might say:

2. I want you to find five current websites that explore anything we discuss. These can be related to your ‘new’ topics or to anything on the current discussion board. These also could be current ‘event’ sort of websites. As you list the actual link of each website, give me a line or two that tells me about why you think the website is ‘sociological’. What kinds of discussion would these websites prompt?

Your paper format would look like this:
Please NAME your paper: Your Name Piedmont SOC200, you can submit it as a .rtf, .doc, .docx, or .pdf.

If at all possible, attach your paper as one of these documents AND cut and paste it right into the comments section of this dropbox. This will allow me to see your submission quickly and get it graded.
