1. The research topic that I want to write about is abortion. There are two ways to look at abortion, pro-life and pro-choice. In my research paper I am going to address the differences between the two sides of abortion as well as point out how the posters/advertisements for each side differ rhetorically.
2. There are many sources that I can use for this topic. I can use previous articles published in medical journals on the ethics of abortion, written by both abortion and non-abortion doctors. There are always newspaper articles concerning abortion, TV news reports, and hospital interviews. There are online databases that I can access that deal with abortion as well as abortion articles. I will be able to use the sources I find to support the rhetorical analysis I will do on the different posters/advertisements I choose to use.
3. While trying to find sources, I might find that certain topics have more research done on them than others. I might find alot of religiously-based articles that could be biased towards pro-life based on their personal beliefs. I think that it is important to find sources that support both pro-life and pro-choice but I do not know if there is adequate research for both sides.

Make sure you actually write your thesis and be clear and specific on what you are going to write about. As for your sources, they are great. There is a lot you can choose from so good job. You are also correct on the difficulty because there will be a lot of biased articles, but maybe you can take the extremities on both views to compare and contrast them. That could easily be two paragraphs!!!
