Oklahoma State Senate Rhetorical Analysis

665 Words3 Pages

An Open Letter To The Oklahoma State Senate: ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!? Seriously? For the first time in my life you have me ashamed to be an Oklahoman. Here we are in the middle of the worst budget crisis in the history of the state since the Great Depression, and what are you doing? Passing bills to outlaw abortion in Oklahoma. Meanwhile the citizens of Oklahoma are suffering from a reduction in state services. The safety net of medical care for the elderly and disabled is eroding. State agencies are letting people go left and right. Schools are underfunded causing Oklahoma students to suffer from overcrowded classrooms and a reduction in the quality of education they are receiving. Even higher education is suffering in its ability to provide …show more content…

That life does begin at conception. Do you know what women were doing to obtain abortions in this nation before Roe vs. Wade? They were going in to back alleys and garbage dumps to have a medical procedure done by unskilled and untrained butchers. Did you ever see one of the illegal abortion clinics prior to Roe vs. Wade? I have. It was while in college just prior to the passage of Roe vs. Wade. We found one in a flooded basement, full of mold, mildew, filth, human feces floating on the stagnant water. As we were trying to clean up this sickening mess, we found an abortion kit that had been used in an illegal abortion less than two weeks before our discovery. Another human being had received a complex medical procedure there in the middle of that sewer. This is what you want to return too? How inhuman can you be? Jesus came to set an example for us to follow. Is there anyway possible to show the compassion that Jesus showed you and me, by forcing some scared, confused child into that filth? Making abortions illegal will not stop abortions from being performed any more than prohibition kept people drinking. We need to keep medical procedures in hospitals under the hands of skilled physicians where they

    Abortion has always been a controversial topic, and with debates from the recent presidential election bringing abortion back into the spotlight, it is clear that people have varying views as well as a great misunderstanding of abortion. Often, the morality of such action is widely discussed, and stones are quickly thrown. I believe that abortion should be legally and safely obtainable in all cases for women who feel it is the best path to take in their pregnancy.     While abortion is currently legal in all 50 states, some lawmakers are working to make abortions virtually unobtainable. For example, in Ohio, a heartbeat bill sat on the desk of Governor Kasich.

    The Right to Abortion On January 22, 1973, in a 7-2 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down it’s landmark decision in the case of Roe v. Wade, which recognized that the constitutional right to privacy extends to a woman’s right to make her own personal medical decisions — including the decision to have an abortion without interference from politicians (Planned Parenthood). There are many moments in history when Roe v. Wade has been so close to being overturned, yet it is still in place. Abortion should stay legal, or not overturned, for the health of women everywhere. First, this important case took place at the time of abortion being illegal in most states, including Texas, where Roe v. Wade began.

He wants the whites and blacks in south to realize that they need each other and should act in ways to coexist.

    With almost half the nation divided among their views, abortion remains one of the most controversial topics in our society. Since Roe v. Wade, our views in society as well as following court cases have been progressing toward the woman’s right to choose. The precedent set by Roe v. Wade made the Supreme Court acknowledge that it cannot rule specifically when life begins and it also affirms that it is the woman’s right to have an abortion under the 14th Amendment. In the 1st Amendment, the Establishment Clause forbids the government from passing laws “which aid one religion, aid all religions, or prefer one religion over another”. Many Christian pro-lifers use their religious beliefs to dispute when life begins.

    According to the WHO, there are an estimated 40-50 million abortions every year around the globe. The dictionary definition for abortion is ‘the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy’, and people usually very absolutist about their stances regarding this topic. The two sides of the argument are those who are pro-choice or pro-life. The pro-choice side argue that it is the free will of the parent/s to decide on how to handle the pregnancy as unplanned pregnancies could mean a detrimental life for both the parent/s and the baby as the parent/s may not have the resources to support and take care of the baby, or are not ready for such big change and responsibility. On the other hand, the pro-life side argue that life begins at conception

    In 2011 a legislation passed in Texas made the access citizens have to abortion to be severely restricted. This new legislation made it so that women would feel ashamed and conflicted about a decision that they were otherwise certain about making. One of the results of this is that women must now listen to a detailed description of their ultrasound 24 hours before their scheduled abortion. Another effect since the implementation of this legislation is that many clinics had no choice but to close; twelve out of thirty four clinics in Texas closed in 2013, as they could not secure the proper hospital privileges that the legislation demanded. Texas has even reduced its funding towards family planning and completely removed Planned Parenthood, an organization well known for its pro-choice stance, from state funding (Grossman et al.).
