Introduction

Everyday we are faced with challenges that are considered to be lifelong decisions; this is

a report that is conducted with a hundred respondents answering questions individually. Dealing

with the topic abortions and can go in many different direction due to making decisions your

answers can be faced with your religious back ground and your beliefs on how you feel. Through

the world young children are having kids of their own at a young age, although there put in a

position to take care of their responsibilities that’s where the finical status come in to make the

decisions. This survey is put into place for better understanding on people beliefs, thoughts and

opinions on the topic of abortion.

This data was collected throughout the survey with the amount of people throughout Tuskegee

University and online. The hypothesis that is being presented throughout the tables is for better

meaning and understanding.

• The information that was given in this survey was recorded that males has

the highest percentage reported to be the highest totals in this survey.

• Male is reported to have higher percentage than females which shows

males are more likely to agree with a female having an abortion under any

circumstances.
 Abortion 3

It is shown that throughout the data males are more likely than females to agree to get an

abortion. More females feel that under any circumstances it’s not ok to look into getting an

abortion by any means of being in any situation. Kids are more likely to get pregnant at a young

age but depending on their background and their religion sometimes abortion is the best way out

for them. This survey conducts on religious beliefs and beliefs within their family and there

opinion on how they felt about certain situations dealing with abortion.
