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 fetus or at what stage in development the creator endows a fetus with a soul." -Kissling

 "What we like to remind people is that pro-life legislation saves babies' lives" -Holly Gatling

#SilentNoMore

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.

Do you find this argument effective?             I find this argument effective because the example used appeals to the...

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....
