In the article ,"3 reasons why I'm a pro-choice," Diana Santacruz talks about 3 reasons why she is pro choice/pro life. Her first point she talks about is how a woman should have the right to make decisions about her own body. She points out the fact that mostly men are debating about whether or not a woman should be allowed to make the choice to have an abortion. Her tone is very aggressive because she doesnt understand how a man could have any opinion becuase they don't relate.
The second point talks about how a pregnancy is a huge responsibility. Not everyone is ready to take on a child, especially girls who are still kids themselves.Not eeryone can provide the basic need a child would require.
The third point is that some people are saying, That women shoud just have the baby and put it up for adoption but there is  problems with the adoption process in this country. There are already so many children who have to deal with the adoption and foster care system.
Her conclusion is Birth control is forgotten and condoms break. Forcing a woman who is not ready to be pregnant, who is not ready to raise a child, should never be a requirement when mistakes happen.

Pro-Choice Arguments: 3 Reasons Why I'm Pro-Choice

# data[].attributes.body
In the article," Plenty of People Are Pro-abortion," the discussion about reproductive rights has increased rapidly. In the Article, many people are pro-abortion, simply because we don’t view abortion as anything more than necessary health care. The tone of the article is understanding of both sides and its very informative of different  pro choice movements. The article points out that abortion are necessary for people whose pregnancy compromises their health they are also necessary in cases of fetal anomalies, and necessary when someone can’t afford to be pregnant or care for a child.

Since Supreme Court Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy's retirement announcement in June, the discussion about reproductive rights has intensified. Amid the social media discussions about the Supreme Court, and the importance of choice, and Roe v. Wade, emerged a common narrative in support of abortion that went: "No one is pro-abortion, but..." The conclusion to such a statement usually rounds out with something like, "...but we should all mind our own business and let people make their own choices about their health." And while the latter part of this argument is a message we can all get behind, the first part is a problem.

While the pro-choice movement has long been conditioned to talk in metered ways about abortion, saying "no one is pro-abortion" is patently inaccurate. Let's be straight - many, many people are pro-abortion, simply because we don't view abortion as anything more than necessary health care.

Even though the anti-abortion movement asserts that a majority of people regret their abortions, studies do not back that up. A 2015 study tracking long-term emotional responses to abortion found that while those who intended to be pregnant experienced poorer emotional outcomes after an abortion, the vast majority felt abortion was the right decision in both the short-term and over the next three years.

In recent memory, the Shout Your Abortion movement has done some necessary and important work to break down stigma around abortion. People who have been spurred through Shout Your Abortion to share their abortion stories online and in person work to clarify that, no matter the reason a person has an abortion, all reasons are valid and no one deserves to be judged.

Still, predictably, many of the people who share their experiences with abortion are not only judged, but even threatened - some to the point that that they no longer felt safe being in their homes. And that's long been a familiar narrative for people who dare talk about abortion in general, and it's precisely the stigma around the procedure that fuels such danger.

The other day, I observed something most of us who use social media are familiar with: a guy who thought he was helping further a discussion with a well-intended but bone-headed comment. "The reality is people seldom choose abortion lightly or for purely selfish reasons," he wrote on Facebook. What he likely meant to convey was that abortion is a personal and difficult choice, and that should be respected. The more subtle and insidious impact of his comment, however, is the inference that there are, in fact, "selfish" reasons to have an abortion, or that if the decision to have one is easy, it's somehow less respectable.

Cis men, in particular, need to be aware that their role in the abortion debate should primarily involve listening to and supporting those of us who can get pregnant. Of course, the "no-one is pro-abortion" narrative is not the sole purview of cis men. It's repeated by people of all persuasions and genders. And while often well intended, it paints those who identify as pro-abortion as some nefarious part of what far-right extremists would call the "abortion industry." It also feeds directly into the stigma and intimidation messages that the anti-choice crowd sends.

At its core, "no one is pro-abortion" is a message of concession. It is this kind of rhetorical ceding that makes room for the anti-choice agenda to flourish, which has resulted in the consistent whittling away of people's ability to access abortion. Things like TRAP (Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers) laws, fetal heartbeat bills, and the Hyde Amendment exist because of such political moralization.

So why, you might wonder, would someone be pro-abortion? Well, because abortions are necessary. They're necessary for people whose pregnancy compromises their health, they're necessary in cases of fetal anomalies, they're necessary when someone can't afford to be pregnant or care for a child, they're necessary for people who have been raped, and they're necessary for every reason in between. They are, quite simply, necessary for any person who is pregnant and no longer wants to be.

They're also necessary in order to save lives. Before the landmark abortion case Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973, making abortion a legal right, illegal abortions were common. According to the Guttmacher Institute, it is estimated that in the 1950s and 1960s, between 200,000 and 1.2 million illegal abortions were performed each year.

And they were deadly. In 1930, nearly 2,700 people died from abortion complications (18 percent of the maternal deaths recorded in that year). By 1965, that number dropped to just under 200, but abortions still accounted for 17 percent of maternal deaths that year.

Abortion is today considered one of the safest medical procedures. More than 650,000 legal abortions were reported to Centers for Disease Control in 2014; one in four women in America are expected to have an abortion by the time they turn 45. Major complications during first-trimester abortions - which account for 89 percent of all abortions -occur less than 0.5 percent of the time.

It's time to stop saying that "no one is pro-abortion" or "not all abortions are selfish" and to correct people when they inadvertently fall into the trap of contextualizing or moralizing abortion. (While we're at it, let's also throw "only a small percentage of Planned Parenthood's services are abortion" and "I'm pro-choice, but I'd never have an abortion myself" into the dumpster as well.)

Shifting the abortion narrative from one that opens up space for judgment to one that singularly focuses on abortion as an essential part of health care will take commitment from everyone. We can start here by saying: "Abortion is necessary health care that saves people's lives."

In the photo, "My Uterus, My Rules," the protestor displays that she has control over her own body. The repetition of the word "my" displays the protestors sense of demand for people to understand that they don't have the right to make her have a child. Her purpose is to encourage other women to understand that nobody has the say in whether or not they want to expect or not. Her audience is the female population because they are the one's the speaker is protesting for.

In the photo, "Keep Your Rosaries Off My Ovaries" the protestor denies the idea that the Catholic Church has the right to dictate health care policies for abortion rights. Her tone is shown as demanding because of the simplicity and straightforwardness of her black and white sign. Her purpose is to state her opinion that religion shouldn't deny her right to abort or not. In fact, she's trying to state that the Catholic Church should all together be denied of their right to tell women whether or not they CAN have an abortion or not. Her audience is the Catholic Church and the authorities who deny women of the choice of abortion.

Bill Nye: Can We Stop Telling Women What To Do With Their Bodies?

Bill Nye: Can We Stop Telling Women What To Do With Their Bodies?

# data[].attributes.body
In the anti-abortion video entitled "Can we stop telling women what to do with their bodies?" featuring Bill Nye, the scientist supports the pro-choice movement by insisting on the rights of women to decide what is being done to their bodies. In light of the recent protests concerning abortion rights, he aims his arguments at pro-life supporters and the US government by saying that women have sole control over whether or not they want to keep their unwanted pregnancies; Nye does so with the hope that he will change the minds of all those who believe that abortion is wrong.

In the video, Nye uses his frustration and anger stemming from his own scientific intelligence to blame the ignorance of pro-life supporters for their wrongful opposition of abortion. Several times throughout the course of the video, Nye expresses  his anger through his facial expressions and body language. Nye talks with passion and frustration, often sighing and taking pauses between his sentences. At one point in the video, Nye also says that "it's hard not to get frustrated," having to disprove the beliefs of pro-life advocates. Nye can also be seen throughout the video shaking his head--a sign of clear contradiction with the idea that abortion is wrong.

Abortion is Murder - Your Argument Is Wrong!

# data[].attributes.body
In the video "Abortion is Murder - Your Argument Is Wrong," the host RJ Agar dissects the many weak arguments of pro-life supporters in light of the divide between Americans' opinions on the issue of abortion. He aims his arguments at pro-life supporters with the hope that he can enlighten them on the obvious flaws in the arguments and beliefs that support their opposition.

In his first argument, Agar draws the audience's attention to the fact that a fertilized egg, or zygote, is not human. He furthers his argument by comparing the developmental steps between being a zygote to becoming a baby, or a "fully-functioning organism." He uses the developmental stages of conception and heart, brain, and spinal cord function to expand his argument; since zygotes have not yet developed these functions that they are not yet human, therefore making then ineligible for "murder." Agar also inserts the same picture of a baby and a fertilized egg to further drive home the fact that the two are not synonymous. The picture he uses of the baby evokes a sense of joy and love in the audience, whereas the picture of the zygote evokes no such sense of emotion.

ABORTION IS MURDER - Your Argument Is Wrong

# data[].attributes.body
The protestors in the visual texts have a feminist personality and the motivation to demand their rights to an abortion. Though in the photo, "My Uterus, My Rules," you can't see the women's face, you can assume that the fact that they are holding the sign to begin with labels them as a outspoken women. As said in the paragraphs, their rhetorical choices gives them the power to get their message across and persuade their audience to have the same opinion as them. Though they do have a powerful message to convince the public to agree with them, the occasion in which these signs are being displayed takes away from the persuasiveness of them doing so. This is because they are in the middle of a protest, disturbing the public and chanting exactly what their signs say. However, their use of exaggeration and the tone of their posters gives the audience a straightforward message. However, I do not know a better way to get their purpose of their context across.

Well the person who wrote the article was a girl name Diana Santacruz who was expressing her opinion about her opinion on Pro Abortion. She provides 3 reason as why she thinks women should be able to choose whether or not they want to have an abortion. She addresses the fact that most men are arguing about women getting abortion and the really shouldn't have no opinion at all. Women have different reason as to why they get an abortion. Some people are just not ready to provide the necessary things all child are required to have. Sometimes birth control doesn't work and condoms break therefore women should have the choice to choose. Some reasons that may cause women to have na abortion include rape and other things.

In the first video, the speaker, Bill Nye, is a scientist who was popularized through his iconic TV series "Bill Nye the Science Guy." He uses his scientific background to blame anti-abortionists for not having the scientific facts to back their arguments. He basically refers to their arguments as being formulated out of pure ignorance and patronizes and belittles them for their beliefs. In my opinion, I feel that he was just being plain rude.  He didn't take the time to acknowledge the counterargument, but instead, basically said that his opinion was right and that anyone who believes otherwise is stupid and uneducated. Though it may come off as rude, Nye is able to express his passion through his evident anger and frustration. It drives home the point that no one should be making choices for women except for the women themselves. However, this technique is unsuccessful in that it may anger those who are anti-abortion. His direct anger towards the opposing argument could, in turn, anger anti-abortionists instead of allowing them to try to understand Nye's viewpoint. Because of the way Nye argues his point, anti-abortionists could easily turn away from his argument after being labelled as ignorant by Nye-it's derogatory and lacks respect for those who believe that abortion is wrong.
