In "Why Baby's Sex Shouldn't Be Revealed to Parents Before 30 Weeks" Julie Ryan Evans persuades citizens that sex-based abortions can be prevented by waiting to tell women the sex of their baby. Evans uses problem and solution to make her article go deeper an more in depth. This text structure is shown as Evans hints that the problem is sex-based abortions and the only way to solve this problem is to wait thirty weeks to reveal the sex of the fetus. Evans viewpoint is that sex-based abortions are horrific, disgusting, and should be stopped immediately. Evans deals with conflicting evidence by not mentioning it at all as if she wants to seem like there are no different viepoints. Evans supports her opinion by using conntation like "simply selfish reasons" to make the women sound wicked. She also uses words like atrocities instead of problem or issue. Evans uses ethos by stating the statistics of the number of people that believe sex-based abortions are wrong. She also uses pathos by making the women sound like terrible people, she also makes people feel sympathatic towards the unborn by listing silly reasons why nowdays someone might abort a child. The reliability of this source is in question because this story was posted on a blog and the blog itself was littered with links to other sites.
