Is it true that some social problems such as abortion are highly controversial and arouse intense emotion sociologists have been unable to use the tools of scientific investigations to study them?

In: Abortion [Edit categories]

Answer:

Not as long as they follow the formula for how to do a proper investigation. There are many things and conditions that cause intense emotions within health care but all those things are looked at in a neutral way. That is what science is about - the facts. There are many instances before an investigation take place and there are rules for how to set up a survey to get answers that can be used correctly to get statistics. Whatever personal feelings the scientists have about abortion will not show as long as they follow these rules. If a scientist don't follow them the statistics wont be reliable.
