Rhetorical Analysis Outline I. Introduction  Hook – Are you pro-life or pro-choice?  Work and Author – Claudia Dreifus' opinion article "I almost died trying to get an abortion. I'm terrified my students could face a similar fate."  Article Thesis: Abortion should be legalized because women have the right to their bodies.  My thesis: The argument is convincing because the author effectively utilized ethos, pathos, and logos in the article. II. Summary Paragraph  Thesis: Women should have the right to do what they want to their bodies legally.  In my second year at college, I became pregnant. This was a decade before legalization. At first, I tried to self-abort with various home remedies. None worked. In one attempt -- which involved overdosing on a drug rumored to be an abortifacient -- I nearly died. I was 19.  One of the most infamous cases of the period where an Arizona television presenter, Sherri Finkbine, had accidentally taken the fetus-deforming drug thalidomide while in the early stages of a pregnancy. When Finkbine sought an abortion at the local hospital, it was denied. She had to fly to Sweden for the operation. III. Analysis Paragraph I

 In the article, Dreifus (2021) successfully builds her integrity using appeals to ethos by indicating her first-hand experience relating to the argument.  Supporting details: Dreifus is a woman who personally experienced a situation wherein illegally aborting almost killed her.  Provide Dreifus' personal experience regarding abortion.  1973 Roe Vs. Wade IV. Analysis Paragraph II  Next, Dreifus (2021) effectively evokes sympathy and empathy throughout her article by appealing to pathos.  Restate her personal experience and why it is to be remembered.  State the other real-life experiences provided in the article that relates to the argument. V. Analysis Paragraph III  Lastly, Dreifus (2021) effectively shows logic and reason throughout her article by appealing to logos.  The valid reasons why women need to be able to have an abortion legally.  Definition of pro-life and pro-choice.  Nullifying the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision = limiting women's reproductive rights. VI. Concluding Paragraph  Ethos – author’s first-hand experience of the argument presented.  Pathos – sympathy, and empathy which are based on facts.
