Effects

Mental Effects For the first article, I will use the sleep and nervous disorders as minor examples and drug use and suicide thoughts as more serious examples.  I want them to see that abortion although it may seem harmless, can cause lasting effects on the women that will cause potentially life-threatening situations.  In addition, leading them to the knowledge that counseling before and after abortion is the best way to prevent these effects.  Which is what the doctors recommend and usually require to have the women be informed of their decision. Physical Effects Before every surgical procedure, patients are informed of the potential risks of an operation.  But if you are never put in the circumstances, you probably won’t know about what may happen.  In the second article I will use these physical effect short term being, nausea, bleeding, etc, and long term, cervical damage and others, to help people see more clearly the dangers of this  procedure....

Research Topic

I am writing an informational research paper about abortion.  The question I will be trying to answer is ‘What are the effects of abortion?”  While giving history and background information about methods and procedures of abortion, I will explore the various effects of abortion on women and men.  I am going to use articles that are accounts from women, doctors and others involved in the abortion process.  I have stories from women that have decided to have an abortion and why they chose what they did.  Staying neutral to both sides of the conversation will be an essential part of the informative process.  That being said I will attempt to give each side equal representation.  I will address the issue of the ethics, but it will not be the main focus.

Opposition

Most of the articles I have found have been pro-choice.  These sources make it clear that they think women should have the right to choose abortion.  Along with multiple reasons supporting their claim, they have evidence to back it up.  However, not everyone shares this view, such as the Catholic church. The Catholic church has a history of being against abortion.  The religion uses ethics and emotion to back up their position.  To counter the pro-choice advocate sources I will use religion, such as this one, to bring the other side of the argument into play.  To inform the public accurately I will show both sides of the argument. "...abortion represents the unjustifiable destruction of a human life." -Kissling "Bishops' rights to champion public policy issues is... limited only by the laws regarding tax-exempt status which make it impossible for the bishops to endorse political candidates." -Kissling [There is] "ambiguity over the personhood of a fe...

How effectively does the author make their case?         The author is effective in making their case because they have evidence that is from a direct source as well as a secondary source.  And they are emotionally in control by keeping the article neutral and it doesn’t attack others. How convincing is the evidence that they present?         Their evidence is solid because it was from a primary source.  There was not distortion of the story from indirect sources. Do you find this argument effective? I think this argument is effective because so many people can relate.  Being around people affected by down-syndrome doesn’t ever make me feel like my life is worse.  They are some of the nicest people in the world and I’m lucky to have met them.  They showed me what true, pure love is.  If people can’t get over the stereotypical “lesser person” when it comes to these wonderful...

How effectively does the author make their case?              The author is effective in making their case.  They are very professional in her writing and tries not to offend people while relaying this woman’s story.  Their language is appropriate for the audience she is speaking to.  Also, she doesn’t attack the other side, so it’s more of an informative article. How convincing is the evidence that they present?             The evidence the author has is an actual account from someone affected by the “choice” given to women.  They illustrate her story with her actual account from when she decided to keep her baby to the moment her parents coerced her to have an abortion. Do you find this argument effective?             I find this argument effective because the example used appeals to the...

44 Years of Roe: We Won’t Go Back https://www.prochoiceamerica.org/video/44-years-roe-wont-go-back/     NARAL, the pro-choice agency, released a video about the danger of Roe v. Wade being abolished or changed.  According to the video, President Trump and his pro-life congressmen are a threat to everything Roe v. Wade stands for.  They are doing everything they can to attack women’s health care whenever they can.  They are worried that Trump may appoint anti-choice supreme court justices who will affect abortion making it illegal or impossible to access safely.  But NARAL will not stop trying to fight for women’s right to have a choice.  NARAL is trying to spread news of their cause to get more support for pro-choice.     This article focuses on the issue of Roe v. Wade and the current political leaders.  They address the possibility of the bill being repealed or manipulated to take away a woman’s right to affordable h...
