thesis and assertion question?

we have to do a rhetorical analyisis guide for the article on the following site. I was just wondering if you'd say she against abortion. That's what i thought. And if you could list any assertions she uses to support her thesis. Thank you so much

Answer 1

She is against abortion. BUT...

1. Her arguments have no proofs, she presents rhetorics that put pro-abortionists to the defensive by throwing back questions at them that she should have researched and presented hereself.
2. She has no factual citations to bolster her position, all she had were generalizations based on unquantified and unqualified statements (i.e., how many faxes, letters, calls over what period of time?).

If you would take her article in whole, she's did nothing there but just rant and rave. It should have been a sane discussion replete with informative data. Sloganeering is what that article is, just like the pro-abortionists.

Answer 2

She is against abortion, almost hysterically so.
