Take a stand workshop

In my paper, I tried to formulate the argument in this order: Ethos, Pathos, then Logos.  I established the Bible as the authority right up front because my later reasoning, Pathos, depended on passages found within the Bible.  I built a logical argument that defended my point.  Finally, I tried to use Ethos in the end to appeal to the reader's emotions.  I could do a better job there.

My substantiation claims involved summarizing the case that made abortion legal for women in all circumstances in the US, Roe v Wade.  I clearly defined what a human being is according to the Bible and discussed when life began.

My evaluation claims are the bulk of my essay.  It mostly deals with the question of whether the Bible condemns abortion.  I deal with the moral question of whether abortion is murder and also whether impeding another person's free will is wrong.

My policy claims are that the government or other people should not force a woman to give birth against her will.  I was going to limit it to first trimester abortions that Roe v Wade dealt with and should probably refine it so that my limits are clear.
