“Race and Gender Based Abortion Bill Is a Distraction From Real Issues”

In “Race and Gender Based Abortion Bill Is a Distraction From Real Issues” Maressa Brown persuades all legal aged voters that America has more pressing problems than sex based abortions. Brown uses problem and solution to better convey her point. This really helps her article because she presents these problems in our own country other than sex based abortions and Brown expresses that the solution is to drop the bill and focus on more pressing matters. Brown believes that sex based abortions are a total waste of time and though these abortions are wrong we, as a country, have more pressing matters to attend to. Brown shows her opinion by saying “I couldn't agree more with Nancy Northup, President of the Center for Reproductive Rights, who says the PreNDA is "a trumped up bill for a trumped up problem”” , she also discredits Rep. Trent Franks by saying that in his own home state there was no evidence of sex based abortions. Brown takes care of conflicting evidence by making all those who don’t agree with her view sound as if they want to take away women’s right to abortion. Brown uses connotation such as delusional to make the issue seem crazy and stupid and she also use the phrase “a blatant waste of time” which makes sex based abortions appear childish and unworthy of attention. Brown uses pathos and logos to persuade. She uses logos as she states statistics of abortion rates and she shows pathos by capitalizing whole words and punctuation to make the audience riled up and get them against PreNDA. The accuracy of this source is a little questionable because the woman isn’t a writer or professional, there were ads all over the page, and it was a blog not a trusted news source.
