Utah Law Literally Requires Doctors To Lie About Abortion

The story I chose is “Utah Law Literally Requires Doctors To Lie About Abortion” found in Crooks and Liars. This was about Utah’s new bill that states they will give an anesthetic to any women seeking abortion. Not knowing what this does to the unborn child they still plan to administer this. This article was written by Frances Langum. Her audience is the women who are thinking about getting an abortion and to those who oppose it. She has two videos, the first video is from a woman to disagrees with Utah’s bill. She states that this affects not only the unborn child but also affects the families. Utah argues that this will lessen the pain of the unborn child but in reality it will only cause more. The second video is from a women to agrees with the bill. She states that the person carrying the pregnancy has every right to do what they want. And her job is just to inform them of their options. The author wrote this article in oppose of the bill and said, “It’s a tragedy that is complicated by political interference from jerks like Utah legislature.” The argument was made clear at the beginning, is Utah’s new bill for abortion good or bad? At first I wasn’t too sure what side the author was on but after reading how they called the Utah legislature jerks it became quite clear. Their credibility could have been better, there was only two videos and a quote from a OBGYN. Not enough information was present.
