To achieve maximum points for content and analysis, the following elements need to be thoroughly addressed:
Define the issue
Quantify the issue, for instance, how many abortions were performed in the United States last year?
Describe the positions of the opposing sides
Elaborate on your own position. What led you to believe as you do?
Use scripture to support your position. If possible, cite scriptures that someone who disagrees with you might use.
