R-Missouri Abortion Analysis

According to Farm Sanctuary, the chickens, and the large barns they are raised in, are covered in feces. Even under these conditions, Perdue still believes they are healthy enough for human consumption (“Factory Farming”). Over the years, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has travelled around the country to protest with other disgruntled Perdue employees. During one of their protests at the Perdue slaughterhouse in Salisbury, Maryland, Ingrid E. Newkirk, PETA president, came across chickens dying from heatstroke in exposed crates. After further investigation, she found that if the chickens can’t handle the unethical conditions created by the employees and are dead, dying, diseased, or disabled, they will be thrown like lifeless beings into bins labelled “4D” (“Frank Perdue’s Legacy”). The awful fact of the matter is that most of the chickens are disabled as the majority of them suffer from broken bones. This occurs because of the rapid breast growth the company sets as standards for production. The number of hormones and antibiotics that the company infuses into the chickens makes them grow at abnormally fast rates. The normal chicken’s life span is about ten to fifteen years (“Frank Perdue’s Legacy”). Perdue typically slaughters its chickens once they reach the age of two months. At this age, their breast size is approximately the same as a ten-year-old

Human rights have been a staple of American values since the beginning of our countries history, but in this instance some question whether these rights hold the same value they have in the past, especially when evaluating values in the eyes of the government. Michael Grabell while writing the article “Cut To The Bone” informs readers of how a successful poultry company known as Case Farms has found a way to take advantage of a group of large number of individuals during a time of turmoil and violence there. Grabell’s writing allows readers of the article to become familiar with how Case Farms conducts their business. Not only is the article informative, but also affects the reader in a multitude of ways due to the rhetorical moves and

Women, for centuries, have not been allowed to make decisions regarding their bodies. Finally, when the end of the fight is within reach, steps backward are taken. Oklahoma recently passed a bill requiring the father to approve an abortion procedure, the only time that the father’s permission is not required is in rape cases, and fetuses that have been diagnosed with down syndrome cannot be aborted. When asked about the bill, Oklahoma Rep. Justin Humphrey stated:

Following the recent incident in a Melbourne suburb during which hundreds of chickens were illegally released from cages on a truck, writer Jo Smith contended in his opinion piece ‘Chickens Range Free’ issued on January 2009 that our actions towards farm chickens are both inhumane and brutal. The piece draws attention to us as the human species, the need to raise awareness, the desire to stop such inhumane treatment and to enact action by supporting the activists who freed the chickens in an attempt to encourage readers to feel a sense of empathy as an act which disadvantages both themselves and others. The opinion piece was also accompanied by a photograph, was published on a website and on the Opinion

(So here is a little clip of cruelty of live baiting of other animals which are resulting in a savage and painful death for the animals)

​In conducting a rhetorical analysis of the two articles, "Joel Salatin: How to Eat Animals and Respect Them, Too" by Madeline Ostrander and "Humane Meat? No Such Thing" by Sunaura Taylor, both articles stand in stark contrast in terms of the viewpoints of meat that they present. In order to gain a better understanding of these viewpoints, it's important to understand the persuasive techniques that both authors use in the article for the reader. More specifically, the ethos, pathos, and logos that they employ, as well the way in which the evidence and support is presented will further elucidate upon the arguments that appear in both articles.

Texas continues to fight women’s rights groups for the life of the “unborn child” and has won on many levels. According to the Texas Abortion Laws, Texas includes mandatory ultrasound imaging and parental consent for minors, and women must make at least four visits to a doctor and receive an ultrasound. Women may only receive a third trimester abortion if it is necessary to prevent death or substantial risk of serious impairment to a women’s physical or mental health, or if fetus has severe and irreversible abnormality. Texas considers an illegal abortion if it destroys the vitality or life of child in birth or before (which otherwise would have been born alive); operating a facility without a license, failure to meet Board of Health standards, or failure to make reports to Department of Health; act preformed after pregnancy with intent to cause termination of pregnancy other than for purpose of birth of live fetus or removal

The issue of abortion is notoriously controversial. Since the Supreme Court’s 1992 ruling in Casey v. Planned Parenthood, states have enacted different restrictions on the procedure. These restrictions vary from state to state. Nineteen states currently have laws prohibiting partial-birth abortion, and forty-one states strictly prohibit abortions except in cases of life-endangerment. One particularly incendiary area of abortion law is that of public funding. However, as of this year there are only seventeen states that cover abortion procedures through public funding. In this paper we will discuss federal abortion legislation, while describing the laws and political ideologies of the following states: Texas, California, New

In the past few decades, the issue of abortion rights has created debates and controversy within the United States. Those who criticize the act of abortion – pro-life – argue that the act of abortion is equivalent to the murder of a baby. Those who support the legalization of abortion – pro-choice – argues women should be able to choose whether or not they want to have an abortion. Currently, abortion is legal in all states – a result of the Supreme Court’s ruling in Roe vs. Wade. However, it has become increasingly common for states to create anti-abortion laws, which makes it more difficult to have an abortion. In 2014, Missouri state representative Rick Brattin proposed H.B.131, a house bill that would require women to receive a written consent from the biological father in order to have an abortion. This bill serves to prevent women from having an abortion.

One Yulin meat market vendor shouted at animal rights protesters: “You eat turkey, so why are you forcing us not to eat dog meat?” This of of course is a deflection argument put forth by an uneducated defender of this barbaric practice whose only argument is to create an excuse that is better suited for an elementary school yard debate.

Aspen Baker did a Ted talk on A better way to talk about abortion. Baker reflects on the abortion she had herself when she was younger. She cofounded an organization that allows both men and women call and talk to people about hard times they may be having in their lives. Baker comments that it is important to not pass judgement or bring politics into the conversation when people are telling their story.

An undercover PETA investigator filmed the horrific scene at the farm. The campaign organization Mercy for Animals publicized the video on Wednesday and called the chicken cruelty the “disgusting secret” behind the giant fast food chain’s Chicken McNuggets, The Huffington Post reports.

It is easy to understand that the brutal torture of raising animals in confinement is absolutely unacceptable. Not just because it saves water, because it takes a whopping 2,500 gallons of water to produce one pound of beef, or 660 gallons to make a pound of chicken, but rather the fact that they should all be treated like us, not pulled away from family at birth, not ground up by machines or thrown away live in the garbage. This is seriously a big problem. Also, the way the meat is made is extremely unhealthy and even lethal to the human body. The animals are injected with a chemical in which makes their fat abnormally five times bigger. So heavy, that some chickens may live their about 14 month life, with its head

On April 17th, 2015, Lindsey, a woman living in the small east-central Texas city of Brenham, posted a graphic photo on Facebook of her latest kill. That kill was no deer or bird, but a cat. She shot the feline with a bow and arrow that pierced right through the cat’s head and it is assumed that the cat died instantly. Her motives became clear when she went online to post about her “achievement.” She stated it was her “first bow kill, lol. The only good feral tomcat is one with an arrow through it 's head! Vet of the year award ... Gladly accepted.” Lucky for her, she did win an award, and that is the award for the worst vet of the year. Her post caused a lot of outrage, especially among animal rights activists. The news eventually reached her job which, if you didn’t get the memo earlier, is ironically at a veterinary clinic. She was quickly fired from her job and the vet clinic had to remain closed for the next

When chickens are put in cages they are all being stuffed together and they can even stretch out their wings or even some of them don't even get to see the sun of light or even smell fresh air from outside because they are all in cages. When they get them out, some farmers throw them around until they are dead. They will bash their heads with their cages. Or some of the farmers will slice their throat. When they kill a baby chicken, they don't even let them grow. Ones they are hatch they get killed. Some of the farmers throw the chickens all together in a bag so they could suffocate or they will throw them into a machine so they could be killed. It's horrible because they take them away from their mother when they hatch. When the cows are killed it is horrible they put them a machine that spins them around and then they slice their throat. They're still alive when they throw them and live them to die. You could hear them suffering. They don't even bother cleaning up after them they just leave them all together. Some of the farmers even
