Researching the Debate!

We've discussed some of the features that a strong argument needs to have, taken a look at some articles that make arguments on both sides of the issue, and evaluated the quality of those arguments.

Now, it's time for you to do some research.

Using the links below, or your own internet research skills, find articles that adress the following:
Should minors need to notify their parents to access sexual health services?

Remember, that sexual health services include: birth control, prophylactics such as condoms, abortion, and sex education.

Your Task:

1. Locate an article that addresses the debate question: "Should minors need to notify their parents to access sexual health services?"
2. Read the article and decide if it is in favor of notification (pro-parental notification) or against parental notification (anti-parental notification).
3. Go to the appropriate page:
Arguments In Favor of Parental Notification
OR
Arguments Against Parental Notification
4. In the comments section on that page, do the following:

• Paste the web address for the article.
• Explain what claim it is making.
• Write down the evidence that it uses.
• Explain the reasoning that it uses.

5. Submit your comment, and then start looking for more.
