Abortion is a Chioce

There are many people against the new health care reform. Their complaint is that they do not want government to dictate what medical procedures can be done. But the fact is that government already does. Anti-abortion congressmen want to eliminate health plans that would cover abortion. The final proposal stated that it would prohibit the use of federal tax subsidies to pay for almost all abortions. Health plans could provide abortion coverage provided they used only the premium money and co-payments contributed by beneficiaries and kept that money segregated from the subsidy. In every state, there would have to be at least one plan that covers abortions and one that does not.

This editorial about health care reform and abortion was written by an unknown author. Therefore I have no idea how credible he is. He made a weak argument against the proposal. His editorial was manly a summary of the story plus one paragraph of his own opinion. This piece was written for an audience aged around 30-40 years old and people interested in politics. I think in order for this to be a good opinion piece he needs to add more of his opinion into his story. Although i agree with what opinions he did have, such as no restrictions on abortion coverage, overall this was a poorly written opinion article. I feel that he wrote this article with many facts that seem factual but when coming to his opinion he wanted to play it safe and not hurt any ones feelings. Not only is his opinion debth weak so are his reasons as to why he thinks what he thinks.

Overall this was a logically factual article more so than an opinion piece. He needs reasons for his argument and he needs facts to back it up. In general he just needs more of an opinion. He does not need to play it safe or worry about peoples feelings while writing an article with his opinion.
