Blue, Laura. "Why the Plan B Debate Won't Go Away." TIME. 5 Aug. 2006. n.p. Web. 21 Sept. 2011.
This article covered the topic of the "morning after pill: a.k.a. Plan B. More specifically it was about the pill being approved for over-the-counter sale. Blue gave many references to the debate both prior to and after the OTC approval.
The author's intent was to inform the public (intended audience) about the situation at hand. Blue reported the argument from all angles - all sides, and remained objective throughout. There were no biases or fallacies - this was strictly an expository article.
The approval for OTC sale was a move that benefitted most or all of the parties involved - it was good for both Planned Parenthood and the women who would need the pill. Of course there are going to be people against it, but that's how it's going to be with ANY controversial situation or debate.
I think this is a good topic for me. It could fit well into a few larger topics, but I don't think it would stand alone very well. This would be a good topic for anyone interested in the abortion side of it or it could even fit with sex education in schools; but I'm not sure this article would be a lot of help with any research.
