So far what I have accomplished is a solid idea of the concept of my paper. I know which direction I'm headed and what argument I want to argue towards. Its taken plenty of research and many attempts before I was able to find the structure that worked best for what I wanted to get across, and with the help of some useful sources, I have achieved that.
As much as I do know the main direction of the paper, I'm still having some issues making my idea and my argument clear throughout the paper. I need to thoroughly expand my thoughts and ideas to further develop my opinion.

RJA #11a: Introduction
The human body is made of thousands of cells. Each cell serves a different purpose in how the human body develops and functions. It is these very cells that make people different from one another, allowing one to be completely unique. These cells determine the color and texture of peoples hair, bone structure, eye color, muscle development and so on. According to scientists, life begins when the sex cell from the male, the sperm, and the sex cell from the female, the egg, unite. The full process of fertilization usually takes around ten hours, and the "zygote" is created, which consists of the forty-six chromosomes needed to be human.
However, pro choice advocates actually believe that the only time something is defined as human, is when it has a personality, for distinction, which is completely understandable, and from a scientific stand point, makes sense. They claim it is impossible to call the joining of the cells, a human, seem as in the first couple of weeks, it isnt even attached to the uterine wall. A bunch of cells, molded together, in a group, shows no special characteristics, unlike that of a human. It doesnt even develop a heart beat until the fourth week, and even then, it is not fully developed.

RJA #10a: Thesis Statement
Since abortion first became a part of life, it has either received full support, none at all, or left many with an unpleasant feeling of uncertainty on the topic; some have very strong willed feelings against the matter, backing their opinions with morals and religion, while others incorporate political reasoning and debates.
