child. Values play the biggest role in these arguments, and each argument can be circular based on people’s values. These sides use many different transcendence arguments for their movement. Both sides use quantity, quality, value, hierarchy, and antithesis to convince people to support their side of the movement. The quantity and quality transcendence arguments are used together by the pro-life and pro-choice movements. The arguments from quality compare what is good or bad and what is moral…
