Planned Parenthood Rhetorical Analysis
Planned Parenthood is a public health clinic that provides sex ed, birth control, abortion, and plenty of other services. The program is constantly under constant attack for being a waste of government funding and supporting abortions which are considered immoral by a large chunk of America. But Joseph E. Potter and Kari White argue that Planned Parenthood shouldn’t be defunded by Congress because of how negative the outcomes are that have been brought about in the past. Potter and White convince others by using rhetorical devices such as statistics and anecdotes. To start, Potter and White tackle the subject of how widely Planned Parenthood’s reaches are and just how much they supply, “…our research found that in counties with no clinic,

    “Without pro-life voters, Ronald Reagan never would have been elected. Without the single-issue voters…, there would never have been a President Donald Trump” (Brooks). David Brooks, author of “The Abortion Memo,” published in February 1, 2018, in the New York Times, argued that while Democrat leaders are prioritizing late-term abortions, Republicans who are pro-life are dominating in the United State more than Democrats. David Brooks had been known as the best political and cultural journalist. He spent his lifetime writing about the current political scenario and foreign affairs for many years. Brooks decided to write his article as an Imaginary Democratic Consultant, advising…

    For decades the issue of abortion has drawn the attention of politicians and civilians alike, and regardless of any political or religious affiliation, every one has a static opinion, and neither side is backing down. The issue is the morality of safe and legal abortions for women. Coming to rise in the late 1970’s, abortion laws led to the creation of two strong groups; the pro-life party, fighting for the lives of future children, and the pro-choice party, fighting for the right for women to get abortions if they decide to. Pro-choice supporters have often been identified as feminists, working on behalf of women’s civil liberties; however, the pro-life feminist party, while still being…

    I don't agree with most of what the author says. When the author brings up abortion, they state "Liberals are so convinced that abortion is the best choice for women experiencing unexpected pregnancy..." Liberals are pro-choice, not pro-abortion. They want to respect the mother's decision, whether it is abortion or keeping the baby. Secondly, in the school choice paragraph, liberals want to fund the schools, for example, those in low-class neighborhoods, to prevent them from closing down and/or funding more classes. Still, the author did fail to provide credible sources to support their arguments, making their essay hard to stick by.…

    When people think of reproductive health care centers their mind automatically jumps to the name Planned Parenthood. Since its founding in 1916 by Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood has amounted to a number of people rallying both for and against them. The fight for Planned Parenthood has never completely been resolved, and even now the issue of federally- funding Planned Parenthood is an issue discussed at large when deciding who to elect to represent our country for the next four to eight years. People advocating for the funding of Planned Parenthood by the federal government are doing something that is rightfully so. It should not be an issue whether or not Planned Parenthood should be funded or not. The question that asks whether it should…

    For many years, abortion has been perhaps the most controversial issue in America. The controversy is between protecting an unborn child’s life and taking away a woman’s constitutional freedom to choose. Those who are Pro-Choice believe that a woman should be allowed to control their own body and no one has the right to compel their morals on them. Pro-Life advocates like Jennifer Simmons, believe that a constitutional amendment should be pass giving equal protection to all including unborn children. To voice her opinion and spread her beliefs, Simmons wrote a paper to reach out and convince those undecided minds that Pro-Life is morally the only choice.…

    Anna, I get that you are frustrated with the responses, but try to see it from "our" side. We're not pissed that women didn't vote for Hillary just because she's a woman. We're pissed that instead of this woman, this woman that has dedicated her entire life to public service, emails and all, didn't get elected over an excuse for a man that is CURRENTLY in a rape trial against a 13-year old girl. A "man" that said on live TV that you can grab women by their pussys when you're rich/famous--do anything you want with them, which is what your vote continued to allow him to do. A "man" who has publicly bragged that he would go into the dressing rooms whenever he wanted on Miss teen USA, girls 15-17, because "he owned it" and he could do whatever…

    From the time its conception, the United States has taken pride in existing as a country for the people. The actions of both federal and state governments should subsequently reflect the eclectic needs of an expanding and diverse populace. In order to provide the very basic necessities for its citizens, the government has a fundamental obligation to ensure access to quality and comprehensive healthcare services, including those focused on sexual and reproductive health. This is typically accomplished through delegation to smaller nonprofit organizations, most notably the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA). Though the beginning of a new presidency and reign of a majority-Republican Congress threatens to eradicate Planned Parenthood,…

    Since its establishment in 1916, Planned Parenthood has played a large role in preserving the reproductive health of women across the United States. A substantial range of services are provided for little to no cost, including cervical cancer screenings, sex education, testing for pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, and various forms of contraception. Nevertheless, the most controversial of their resources, abortions, has sparked anger among citizens and politicians in recent years. A portion of taxpayer money must go towards funding for Planned Parenthood because the reproductive and health services of women should be guaranteed. Women in poverty or low-income situations rely on the services of Planned Parenthood to maintain their health.…

    In the recent U.S. election, one of the biggest points of comparison was with which side somebody was on the issue of defunding Planned Parenthood. One side of the argument promised to its supporters that Planned Parenthood would be defunded and that it would save them money in taxes and that those taxes would no longer be going toward abortions. The other side emphasized that reproductive health care was essential and that it should be a basic human right, and that in defunding Planned Parenthood, it would deny that basic human right to many. Even though many people do not want their tax dollars going toward abortions, Planned Parenthood should not be defunded, because they are the number one sex education provider and they provide basic healthcare to those at or below the poverty line.…
