Introduction In this survey research report, I will investigate the views of Tuskegee University students on abortions. I surveyed 50 students on background information and on questions that revealed their beliefs about abortions. My results show how religion plays a part on people’s beliefs.

I. Hypothesis I believe that the more religious people are, the less likely they are to believe in abortion, no matter the circumstances.
