Abortion
General Purpose: To convince
Specific Purpose: To convince my audience that partial birth abortion is an
unnecessary killing of a baby and should be made illegal.
Attention Step
I. Melissa Drexter, the girl who killed her baby at her prom, received 15 years in
prison. Amy Grossberg, who along with her boyfriend, killed their baby in a motel
room, received 2-1/2 years. Both of them were sentenced because they killed
their newborn baby, just minutes after they delivered. Why is it such a crime just
minutes after the baby is born, and yet perfectly fine to so many people, just days

A. Fifty to sixty million babies are killed each year in the world. (Academic

babies die a year, due to abortions. That is nearly 4 thousand a day.

2. Are teenagers becoming confused why killing just before delivery is
OK, and not illegal just minutes after?
B. This topic of abortion, specifically partial birth abortion, is a very disturbing
one to me. I believe in the sanctity of life, but also have friends of my
family still living with the horrors of the abortion they had years ago.
Because of this, I have researched this topic numerous times.
C. A partial birth abortion is a gruesome, unnecessary killing of a newborn
baby, and should be made a federal crime.
Need Step
II Of the above numbers of abortions each year that I have already stated, many of
these are partial birth abortions. In one clinic in New Jersey alone, 1500 partial
birth abortions were done just in 1996. (Bauer, 1997)
A. Many people have not been educated to know what a partial birth abortion...
