Lisa a twenty-two year old single women who happens to be a manager at the restaurant she’s currently working at, misses her period. Instead of taking the bull by the horns and dealing with her pregnancy she makes the decision that she would rather aboard the pregnancy. She ends up having to borrow money, a friend’s car, and take four days off work. Lisa doesn’t want to aboard the baby because she has been raped or incest, simply because at this time in her life she would rather be a manager at a restaurant. In the state of Missouri a recent case study showed,” that most people in the U.S. want abortion to be legal, they just don’t want it to be easy.” (51) For someone like Lisa it was easy to make a decision and fallow through. But should women who are not ready for babies be able to just dispose of the baby? We make choices in life and we have to deal with the consequences. But in some cases abortions are acceptable, when it comes to the danger of the mother’s life. It’s a law that many states fallow abortions should only be allowed to rape victims, incest, and life or death situations. Rape victims must have a doctor’s statement verifying that they have been raped to follow through with the procedure.

HI Kayde,
ReplyDeleteI know that we talked about an introduction this afternoon, but this seems to be an effective introduction. You have some great details, but if you choose to open with this, I would encourage you to tell us where this information is located. I don't think that you made it up, because you have talked about this. In regard to the quote, this is the kind of analysis that I am looking for in the third paper.
However, remember that you do not want to alienate your readers. You write, "Instead of taking the bull by the horns and dealing with her pregnancy she makes the decision that she would rather aboard the pregnancy." You want to remember the language that you choose as well as the tone. Because you are writing for an audience outside of this room, you will encounter pro-lifers as well as pro-choicers. Abortion is a sensitive topic. "Instead of taking the bull by the horns and dealing with the pregnancy..." implies that this Lisa has made a bad decision. That women who choose to terminate a pregnancy are not making good decisions. Whether you disagree or agree with pregnancy is not the issue here, if you are trying to discuss that abortion should only be legalized in terms of rape, incest and the life of the mother, you need to take a neutral stance. Keep in mind that some of your readers may have terminated a pregnancy and some may have wanted to terminate the pregnancy, but instead, could not afford to terminate it and/or did not have access to abortion procedures. As we all know, raising a child is very expensive.
Please be aware of the language that you will use in paper three. Because you have chosen a sensitive topic, you need to take a neutral stance.
