In the two articles “I’m a Feminist and I’m Against Abortion,” by Ericka Bachiochi, and “The Price of Fetal Parts” by Charles Krauthammer they both argue how abortion is wrong and the reasons they believe so. They both do a good job of arguing their points to the audience, but Charles Krauthammer argues his point better by using pathos stronger to appeal to the audiences’ emotions of sadness and sympathy. Ericka Bachiochi argues how women should not be recognized for being able to end a pregnancy, but instead be recognized for having the ability to carry human life and be able to care for a child. But instead they are given the option to terminate an inconvenient pregnancy because it would affect their career, education, etc. Charles Krauthammer
Charles Krauthammer affectively appeals to pathos by with examples of how Planned Parent Hood speaks about the fetuses they abort and using their organs for sale or research. Krauthammer really grabs our emotions when he explains how a Planned Parenthood official discussed selling fetus organs over lunch in a “cold” and “jocular” way. Saying how her remarks “lacked compassion” (paragraph 2 Krauthammer). The official said she wanted to make enough money off the unborn child’s organs to buy a Lamborghini and laughed. Krauthammer also brings to attention how another Planned Parenthood official explained how to use “a less crunchy technique” to spare as many organs as possible

Next, when people learn, as in these inadvertent admissions, what killing the fetus involves” (Krathammer paragraph 9). This quote is to show that he cares about other people and that he is not dispersing this information for a thoughtless reason. Ericka Bachiochi also uses a fair amount of ethos throughout her argument. Bachiochi is an attorney, feminist, and once abortion supporter. These titles make her seem incredibly credible. She tried to get the audience to see her as someone who has a high title so she must be a trustworthy figure and must have credible information on the topic being argued, which in this case, is that abortion is not equality for women. Bachiochi states “As a one-time abortion rights supporter, I well know the temptation to see the right to abortion as a representation of women 's equality. After all, bearing an unexpected child would seem to interrupt a woman 's ability to design
