    Justin Trudau On Abortion Rhetorical Analysis

    Justin Trudeau’s interview from the National Post illustrates his contradictory views about abortion.The intention of the author is to show Trudeau’s opinion on abortion whether he will agree with is faith or his political party. It is effective, since he clearly explains his opinion and the liberal opinion saying“I am personally pro-life and have long held these beliefs,” and “The liberal party is the party of chart of rights and freedom.” Trudeau present’s how he keeps his point of view to himself however letting women have the choice of an abortion. Justin Trudeau should take a stand against abortion, in hope that*, it will make the murdering of children illegal. Justin Trudeau should not describe himself as two people, the real him…

    Marcus Tullius Cicero's Prosecution Of Verres

    Modern citizens can look to the life of Marcus Tullius Cicero as the paradigm of civic duty and good conscious. Not only did Cicero garner his offices solely through hard work, as a novus homo, but he also upheld the reputation of the Roman legal system, easily seen by his prosecution of Verres, the corrupt, ex-governor of Sicily. Cicero justifiably prosecuted Verres mainly due to Verres’s guilt and Cicero’s desire for power, thus proving Livy’s claim that the law is blind, for even a very wealthy, well connected man can still be found guilty.…

    Is Now the Time to Have a National Conversation on the Questions Around Abortion?

    There is an elephant in the Canadian living room. Everyone knows it is there, but nobody is willing to mention it, except for those on the far edges of the issue. The elephant is named “Abortion”, and except for those radical believers on each side, almost everyone wishes the elephant would simply walk out of the room. But it hasn’t, despite the wishes of many people. And it won’t, despite our all-too Canadian strategy of not mentioning things that are distasteful. And what can be more distasteful than an issue which cuts across so many of the pluralities that live in Canada – religion, women’s issues, poverty, and – did I mention religion? The elephant which is the abortion issue won’t leave the room, and so it is time to take our collective heads out of the sand, look it straight in the eyes, and finally have a national conversation about it. Now.…

    Pro Choice Movement Analysis

    Canada is one of the only countries that has no criminal law restricting abortion whatsoever and this situation is because of the work done by the Pro Choice movement. First off, the movement strived to make multiple appearances in the media through protests, rallies, and demonstrations. Secondly, legal debates involving the nature of laws against abortion were often brought to court which gave activists chances to argue against current legislation. Also, one of the key tactics employed during the movement was educating the public. Therefore, the Pro Choice movement waged a tactically effective campaign to achieve its goals.…

    Abortion Exploratory

    Under what conditions should abortions be allowed? Another controversial to date is abortion. It has been the subject of debate for centuries between many human rights activists, religious groups, and even health care practitioners. There is a myriad of factors that contribute towards the decision if to go for or against abortion. For this reason I cannot make a choice whether I am pro life or pro choice. Most pro-life or anti-abortion people say that the government should make ineffective a woman’s decision to have an abortion in most cases and require her to continue her pregnancy and give birth to the baby. Those promoting pro-choice say that the government should not interfere with the woman’s decision, she should be able to have an abortion if she wants to. So the question I will be exploring in this paper is: Should abortion be the choice of a woman, or not allowed at all? That is a question that has led to many debates worldwide. It is of great interest to me due to the fact I am a women and every woman has the possibility of being exposed to a situation in which they have to decide whether or not to have an abortion.…

    Abortion in Canada Should Remain Legal

    “Abortion is not a crime in Canada but it is an area of the law” (Duhaime, 2010) that isn’t black and white. It has been completely legal since 1988 and our government should keep it that way. For as much as some people are anti-abortion or ‘pro-life’ they need to understand that women have abortions for a variety of reasons one being that an abortion can actually benefit the unborn child. Those who are anti-choice also claim that abortion is wrong because it violates the rights of the fetus, but what about the rights of the woman? It is a woman’s right to decide what she does with her body and though it is much debated; a fetus by logical argument is not a person and does not hold any rights. Finally, even if abortion was made illegal as it was many decades ago, desperate measure to abort unwanted children would be taken by many expecting women, with dire consequences. It is from these four statements that one can say that abortion should continue to be legal in Canada.…

    The Emperor's New Clothes Anderson Analysis

    Once upon a time, as young children, our parents read us fairy tales. We allowed our imaginations to unravel the plots as we immersed ourselves in the magical mysteries of wizards, princesses, genies, and potions. Danish author and poet, Hans Christian Andersen, was best known for his touching and imaginative fairy tales. One fable, which can be paralleled with complex issues in our society, is “The Emperor’s New Clothes.” One such issue is the matter of abortion rights. Peppered with various characters, similar to what we encounter in modern day life, the story weaves us through a cunning deception. So too does the “pro-choice” agenda in Canada deceive us. Human life is a miracle. Strangely, we take it for granted; we forget that the heart of…
