By: Brittany Brown
Topic: Abortion
General Purpose: To Argue
Specific Purpose: I want to convince my audience that abortion shouldn’t be legalized.
Thesis Statement: Abortion shouldn’t be legalized because: 1) unborn babies are human beings; 2) it scars the woman mentally and physically; 3) abortion decreases the amount of kids that can be adopted.

There is also a high risk of these later in life if you get an abortion: breast cancer, cervical, ovarian, and liver cancer, placenta previa, and ectopic pregnancy.
II. In the years 1967-1972 one-third of the United States legalized abortion.
a. But in 1973 Roe vs. Wade, the Supreme Court and Richard Nixon repealed the criminal abortion laws, so it made it legal to have abortions.
b. "Jane Roe" of the landmark Roe v. Wade lawsuit, whose real name is Norma McCorvey, is now an anti-abortion advocate. McCorvey writes that she never had the abortion and became the "pawn" of two young and ambitious lawyers who were looking for a plaintiff who they could use to challenge the Texas state law prohibiting abortion.
c. "Mary Doe" of the companion Doe v. Bolton lawsuit, the mother of three whose real name is Sandra Cano, maintains that she never wanted or had an abortion and that she is "ninety-nine percent certain that [she] did not sign" the affidavit to initiate the suit
