SOCW6200 Human Behavior and the Social Environment I
Module 2 Assignment
Abortion
Laws and Ethical Considerations
For social
workers, the potential conflict between personal and professional ethics can be
a source of great contention. Abortion is a highly politicized and contested
topic. It is also one that reflects great diversity in terms of opinion,
personal and professional ethics, and legal stances varying from state to
state. For this Assignment, consider the topic of abortion, the laws of
abortion that exist in the state or country in which you reside, and your own
opinions on the topic. Also consider the relationship between your personal and
professional ethical stance on the topic and how that may affect your
interactions with clients.
