Hi my paper is an argumentative essay for my Philosophy: Ethics class. I have to pick a position on abortion based on the two texts below, formulate a thesis and argue my position, then state possible counterarguments and refute them. All evidence must be from the two texts below and any sources I think might also be useful. It has to be 5-6 pages, double-spaced, and includes footnotes for whatever sources used. Also the thesis must be clearly stated at the beginning of the paper, for example, (Thesis: Apples are the superior fruit because they are rich in vitamins).
The texts are:
Judith Jarvis Thomson, A Defense of Abortion (https://spot.colorado.edu/~heathwoo/Phil160,Fall02/thomson.htm)
Don Marquis, Why Abortion is Immoral (https://www.qcc.cuny.edu/socialSciences/ppecorino/MEDICAL_ETHICS_TEXT/Chapter_8_Abortion/Reading_Marquis_Why_Abortion_Immoral.htm)
Here is an example of how the professor wants the footnotes formatted:
“Plato’s Republic, Book I, ed. John Cooper, trans. G.M.A Grube, Hackett, Indianapolis, 2003, pp. 15-28.”
