ENG 107 6 Paragraph Argumentation Essay Outline

I. Introduction:

• Hook: Abortion has disconnected people all over the world like no one other social concern

• Background Info (Explain the political/legal issue): . Premature birth is at the heart of such

antagonistic issues as the privilege of women to control their own particular bodies, the nature of

the State's obligation to ensure the unborn, the pressure in the middle of common and religious

perspectives of human life and the individual and society

• Thesis statement (major argument): . Ethical problems such as abortion or euthanasia are no

longer considered murders or actions that merit judgment, but rather as solutions

List three minor arguments:

a. Induced abortion is now seen as an option for social improvement

b. Induced abortion is indeed the most serious act of violence that can be committed against

a person.

c. eugenic abortion

11. Body Paragraph: Minor Argument 1: Is the fetus considered as a person?

• Topic Sentence: There has been argument whether fetus is a person or not

• Support (your idea) : To begin with, we can affirm that abortion is a murder, a fact that for

some may seem obvious, but which is sometimes doubted from a legal point of view

• Support (front source) : According to Sedgh (223) some people argue that a fetus cannot be

considered a person until after twelve weeks, after its brain is formed or until it is viable, that is,

capable of subsisting outside the mother's womb

• Analysis (why does this support your position): Therefore, if a fetus is killed, which is the

object of legal personality, the crime of murder against a person is being committed, which

besides being a violent act, is a crime.

• Concluding Sentence: Therefore, this means that fetus is a person and any attempt to remove it

is a crime

III. Body Paragraph: Minor Argument 2: Induced abortion

• Topic Sentence: The induced abortion has also been sustained from the rights of women, and it

is considered as the act of forcing a woman to continue with a pregnancy

• Support (your idea) : These rights and freedoms of women are limited before the rights and

freedoms of the person that the fetus represents, whose human dignity, at the time of the

abortion, is detrimental and deprived of social justice,

• Support (from source) : According to Pazol (26) forcing a woman to continue with a pregnancy

that is the product of a rape or incest or in case of this put in risk the health of the mother
• Analysis (why does this support your position): From this perspective, abortion would respect

the rights of women, as well as their human dignity, since they seek physical and mental well-

being, considering it as an end in itself, while also seeking social justice

• Concluding Sentence: Induced abortion is not justifiable since those who advocate for it fail to

consider the risk of the mother.

IV. Body Paragraph: Minor Argument 3:

• Topic Sentence: As in all criminal figures of abortion, the unjust criminal is perfected at the

moment of the death of the product of conception

• Support (your idea) : The crime denominated eugenic abortion is configured when the active

subject submits to abortive practice a pregnant woman having a medical diagnosis that the

pregnancy product will be born with serious physical or psychic defect

• Support (from source) : Doctrinally, it is evident that the impunity of the figure of eugenic

abortion is intended to avoid the birth of human beings who will suffer all their lives because of

the serious defects of those who can be carriers

• Analysis (why does this support your position): For the configuration of the punishable act of

eugenic abortion, the agent must act after knowing the medical diagnosis that indicates the solid

probability of the birth of a defective being.

Concluding Sentence: Then the eugenic abortion could be considered not only as an act that

avoids a person the unhappiness of a limited life (and in some cases, painful), but as an act that

avoids a burden on society
