RETHORICAL PAPER ASSIGNMENT CORRECTED VERSION

Sex and fertility

This paper being analyzed is called SEX AND FERTILITY, it is broken down into five parts
which discusses unplanned pregnancies, abortion incidence, abortion law, safe versus unsafe
conditions, and preventing unplanned pregnancies. The CLAIM the writer is trying to make is in many countries of the world today couples are having much more children than they really want, or having a child at the time when the do not desire one. This claim is a claim of fact, and the writer uses plenty of stastical data to back up his arguement, and we can see most of the evidence he provides have some truth to it. for example he said in the first paragraph that "worldwide , more than a aquarter of women who become pregnant have either an abortion or an unwanted birth." the thesis is setting the stage for us to believe that his claim is true, and as we continue to read the writer is very cleverly gives stastical date to further back up his claim, with this data he attached some more evidence while he breaks the world down into developed and developing countries.

The DATA the writer uses to support his claim is endless, he uses stastical data from countries around the world as evidence to solidily support his claim. the way he uses his evidence to support the explaination of his reasoning seems very convincing, and makes it easy to accept his claim. The data he uses for example to explain the incedence of abortion is he said , "Overall women in developing regions have strictly similiar abortion levels . 39 procedures per 1,000 women and 34 per 1,000 respectively.

The WARRANTS this writer is making touches home base, in the sense that he makes his arguement very convincing and easy for anyone reading this paper to accept. It is clear to everyone that women do have abortions in all countries around the world and he gives evidence of how much, and he specifies the selected countries, so we can get an idea of the values and commonly accepted beliefs of certain countries also it appeals to human motives and this strategy makes his arguement acceptable.

The BACKINGS the writer uses to further support his warrent is very strong, because first of all he makes it clear for all that women do have unwanted pregnancies, and they do have abortions for many different reasons.

The GROUNDS the writer to further back up his data seems trustworthy enough, he is saying he did the research by giving the names of certain organizations that if we check with them we are sure to get credible evidence. One example is he mentions that he got some of his evidence from the "World HEALTH ORGANIZATION."

There is always grounds for REBUTTAL in any arguement, in this paper the writer seems so very convincing that one would think with all his stastical data from the credible sources he mentions in his paper, we can only accept what he said to hold to be true, but when he mentioed that in developing countries with restrictive laws, richer women have abortions primarily from doctors as opposed to poorer women who have abortion by unsafe means, this could be a ground for rebuttal, because in todays society women are very health concious, and most women would not take the chance of further endangering their lives.
