Abortion: Introduction and overview (PowerPoint presentation with revision quiz)

Picture of a fetusAbout the presentation: This PowerPoint presentation is based on our article Abortion: An introduction. This presentation will help students understand and learn about the key issues to do with abortion, and some of the moral issues surrounding it. The UK law on abortion is covered in detail, and the different abortion laws around the world are also highlighted (especially those in the USA, where abortion is a 'hot-topic'). This presentation provides many opportunities for discussion about the issue of abortion, as well as related matters. The revision quiz at the end of the presentation reviews the key issues covered. The quiz is also interactive, and has been designed to allow students the ability to check and review their answers as they go along.

PLEASE NOTE: There are no teaching notes provided with this presentation as it is based on our article Abortion: An introduction. You may find it helpful to print this article, before using this presentation. There is also a FREE worksheet available here.
