What is the abortion pill and why should
it be available on campus?

Medication abortion is a safe and effective way to end a pregnancy up to 10 weeks. While campus health centers provide quality health care at low or no cost, no campus clinics in the state now provide abortion care, and many do not have an abortion provider close by. Once a student has made the decision to end a pregnancy, it can be hard to raise the money or find transportation. Offering the abortion pill on college campuses would improve the access to abortion in California.

College Students Health Essays and Papers (767.1 KiB)

Writing essays and papers in college is not easy, especially if it is writing about abortion. However, students of various majors get such assignments and feel confused about how to approach this topic pretty often. This is why it is extremely important to raise awareness on the issue of abortion, its reasons, ways, and consequences. Also, understanding human anatomy and psychology are crucial for writing any health essay. With that in mind, we collected a few short tips on how to write an abortion paper even if you are not a medical student: 

  • Understand your topic. It’s fine if you are given a chance to formulate an essay topic on your own, but if you need to write a piece on the topic shaped by your professor, you need to do some extra reasoning work. Think about the way abortion can be researched in the scope of your subject, the point of view you should develop with your major in mind, etc.;

  • Ask your professor for references. It is okay to ask for sources or other material that can help you in your writing, especially if you feel that the essay topic is contradictory or hard;

  • Consider turning to an essay writing service. Do you have any trouble shaping your thesis or formulating your topic? Did your teacher refuse to offer any reference material for your writing? Just contact an online custom writing company for assistance, and its staff will take care of your paper from the title to the conclusion;

  • Add your assignment to your calendar. Thus, you will not have to do it at the last minute. Scheduling your homework and splitting it into parts will also contribute to quality writing, better grades, and stress decreasing;

  • Engage with your friends. Surely, you have peers who were assigned the same task as you, so why wouldn’t you contact them and suggest studying together? Even if you are not into teamwork, you can brainstorm your topics together, share your writing approaches, and editing techniques that work. 

Health essay writing seems much more bearable now, right?
