Abortion Persuasive Essay

Prologue:

Whoever assists in the act of abortion must be sentenced. Do not let the thought of mercy corrupt your minds, for if an abortionist were granted acquittal, his detestable work will be encouraged instead of outlawed. ( Consequence ) The abortionist does not only harm one, but instead causes suffering and loss to many, even the judges who consider his case; for the judge's own grandchildren could fall to the same fate others have if the abortionist is not found guilty. ( Aequipollentia ) ( Expediency )

Contrast:

We can better discern the intentions of this killer by considering the actions of an astute practitioner of medical arts in the 20th century. ( Chronographia ) In the interest of protecting a defenseless and unborn cherub, a diligent physician will act in contrast to an abortionist by encouraging his patient to stray away from the path of killing and suffering.

Exposition:

But ignoring the wise saying of “Primum non nocere“, this abhorrent murderer
( Ethopoeia ) sought to sate his own flesh and lust for money. He consoled his doubtful conscience, speaking to himself like this: "The unfeeling fetus that lurks in the womb is not even alive! Why should I feel regret? The woman obviously wants to be rid of the thing, so who am I to oppose her decision? Besides, this operation could help pay the bills and provide money for myself. There is no shame in ridding a human host of a parasite." Do not allow this man a chance at acquittal, for who can say it is ethical to grant mercy to one who has the audacity to say that an unborn child is a parasite. ( Honor )

Comparison:

War is a dreadful thing, filled with the cries of wounded and the howls of missiles and gunfire, ( Onomatopoeia ) but one who performs an abortion is worse. While the former will result in loss of life, the latter will simply be murder; the death of a defenseless child. Just as breaking an arm causes pain while having the arm totally chopped off causes even greater suffering, so is war to the act of abortion.

Intention:

Can this man proclaim that his actions were involuntary? No, it is impossible. This Jack the Ripper ( Amplification ) cannot be granted freedom, for it is surely unjust to free someone who actively encourages women to kill their offspring, in an effort for a quick buck. ( Justice )

Digression:

Because of their virtuous deeds done in the past, some people are granted mercy, but it is the polar opposite for the man standing before you. He has ignored his conscience and scruples in an effort to pad his wallet, and instead of advising his patients to spare their child, he has encouraged them to murder them with ruthless cunning. ( Hyperbole ) It is obvious that after reviewing the acts of this immoral man, he deserves to be judged for the his actions, past and present.

Rejection of Pity:

Will anyone attempt to plead for mercy?
Probably his children will. Their face still wet with tears ( Prospographia ), they will explain how he was only trying to provide for their family. But reject their pleas and instead consider the pleas of the unborn babes, who were victims of the ruthless actions the defendant took part in. ( Justice )

Heads of Purpose:

By the laws, it is legal to punish this man, for he has violated one of the most important commandments; thou shall not kill. ( Legality ) By the moral compass, it is just to punish this murderer, for one life requires another; an eye for an eye. ( Justice ) It is a virtuous act to find this man guilty, for by doing so, you save the lives of children. ( Expediency ) Let your vote and verdict be unanimous, for that is all that is required to cast his body, thin and snake-like, into prison. ( Effictio ) ( Possibility ) The countless children this man has killed shall be avenged, a truly honorable act. ( Honor
