Abortion - Pro-Choice Views
<view this essay>.... to be discussed later in this report.) During a suction abortion, the fetus is dismembered and disposed of by a small tube. This process takes but about 10 minutes, and the mother experiences very little or no physical discomfort.

Capitalism-Communism
<view this essay>.... society include all members of the society? Carnegie has failed to include the working class counterparts to these so-called "successful" men. Carnegie's definition of capitalism is one sided and does not recognize the value of the disfavored members of its society. In reality, the only people who benefit from Carnegie's Gospel of Wealth are the ones who were rich to begin with.
