This is the link to "180 movie", which is a video, by Ray Comfort, that links abortion to the Holocaust. It is a good resource when researching abortion or are curious about the different views on the issue. Ray Comfort gives interviews of many different types of people who were chosen on the streets, one being a Neo-Nazi.

"Former Abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino" Analysis

The Article “Former Abortionist Dr. Anthony  Levatino” (http://prolifeaction.org/providers/levatino.php – this website supports the end to abortion and only presents one side of this issue) tells about an abortionist who changed his ways after his only child, who was adopted, gets hit by a car and dies. The purpose of this article is to persuade the reader that abortion is horrifying and wrong and that the child in the womb really is a human life. The author uses words with a strong connotation such as “destroying a life” to describe abortion. The main idea of this article is that abortion affects everyone, from the baby being aborted to the abortionist performing the abortion. I know this because in the article, it says, “If you have any heart at all, it affects you.” The author’s viewpoint is that abortion is wrong and that life is truly precious (“After a few months of that I started to realize – this is somebody’s child…I am killing somebody’s child”). I know this information is accurate because the website is reliable (shows copyright date, ways to contact the organization, holds events around the country, links to other pro-life websites, etc.), there are pictures of the author giving this speech, and there are no grammatical/conventional errors. The source, although, is biased because it is a pro-life organization and supports the end to abortion. The article is biased because the author’s opinion is pro life. The author’s viewpoint is also slanted because of his experiences with abortion. There is a lot of opinion in this article but the story is true.    

"Sarah Smith: Abortion Survivor" Analysis

The article “Sarah Smith: Abortion Survivor”, (www.priestsforlife.org/sarah.html - this website supports the end to abortion and will only present one side of the issue) tells the story of Sarah Smith, a girl who survived her mother’s abortion. Sarah’s mother, Betty, had an abortion on her child, Andrew, but was unaware that she was carrying twins. Sarah lived but was born with bilateral congenital dislocated hips. She gives talks and speeches to people around the world and fights for the lives of the unborn. The purpose of this article is to persuade the reader that abortion is wrong and can/will take the lives of great people. The author uses words and phrases with strong connotation such as "My mother’s choice was my death sentence" to show the reader how terrible abortion is. From this is can infer that the author’s viewpoint is that every person deserves a life and that abortion is wrong. I know this because Sarah Smith tells about her story and how if she had been aborted, she wouldn’t be able to do what she does today which is study medicine and fight to end abortion (“Although a second abortion was suggested, my mother refused and instead brought me to term…my mother Betty and I speak publicly throughout the country and throughout the world.”). The main idea is that you should never sacrifice your own child no matter what because you don’t know about their quality of life, personality etc. until they are born and that they have the ability become great people, like Sarah Smith has. This source does have bias because it is a persuasion article and uses facts from a true story, although there is some opinion. The author’s viewpoint is slanted because the author is strongly pro-life.  Because the article is a true story and has opinion, there is no conflicting evidence. I can tell that the source I obtained this article from is accurate because there is a way you can send mail, email, call, fax, etc. the organization. Also, you can set up meetings with Sarah Smith and there is a question/ comment page.  Also, many other sources say the same thing and there are links from the website to other sources about this topic.
