#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.
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 readers ethos and pathos.  This story is like many other unspoken stories out there and the author has a way of drawing the reader in by including quotes from the woman and her family. 
What do you think they should have included in the article?
            There isn’t much I would add to the pathos; the article already is very emotional.  But maybe some background information or history of abortion should be included for people who don’t know very much about the subject.  Also, some statistics to show just how big the issue is.
What should they have done differently?
            The author had a good structure and understandable language.  I wouldn’t have done anything differently because it wasn’t an argument it was informative.  Overall the author had a sound article.

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....
