The first source that I will be analyzing is the YouTube video, “Senator Elizabeth Warren: I stand with Planned Parenthood”. The video was uploaded to YouTube on August 3, 2015, and it in on the Senators personal YouTube channel. In the video Senator Warren addresses the senate floor about the defunding of Planned Parenthood, she discusses how republicans have been trying for years to defund Planned Parenthood and reasons that defunding Planned Parenthood is wrong. Her main point is that Planned Parenthood takes care of women’s health and that men should not have an opinion in women’s bodies. She also addresses that the reason that this bill was created was not in reaction to the videos of Planned Parenthood employees saying that they sold

The web article was published September 17, 2015 but was updated a day later, the author is Laura Bassett and it was uploaded to Huffpost Politics, a separate branch of Huffington post. The article includes a short write up and a two minute video of reporters talking about the defunding of Planned Parenthood. In the video Caroline Modarressy-Tehrani introduces the topic of the bills and that if they pass congress that the President would veto them, then showing a quote from the President. After than she asks a Political reporter form the Washington Post, Janell Ross, if she believes that the bills will pass congress and that is the discussion that takes place for the rest of the video. In the Article it discusses how President Obama, “strongly opposes and would veto a pair of House bills that would strip federal funds from Planned Parenthood and impose new restrictions on abortion.” The article then goes on to discuss what the effects of each bill would have on Planned Parthood and abortion if passed. Since this is an article it is trying to keep bias out so a main appeal that is used is logic but I believe ethos is used too. They give information about the bills, the President, and the republicans, so it seems that they are getting all sides of the conversation and are not trying to sway the reader’s minds but using ethos they might have done just that. …show more content…
The author of the article is Jaeah Lee and the article was published on March 14, 2013. The article’s main focus is in Texas and what happens when Planned Parenthood is defunded. At that time Texas legislators had slashed fund for family planning services so Planned Parenthood was largely affected. The article contains a video of Texans rallying behind Planned Parenthood in support, trying to convince others not to defund it. The article contains a lot of information with graphs and charts to appeal to reader’s logic. This appeal to logos is quite successful because not only do they use statistics in the article but show the effect that the defunding has had on many aspects of clinics and Planned Parenthood. This article is different because it is older but also because it relies so heavily on logos for the article. The video is more of a pathos appeal but the article is just trying to show people the negative effects defunding Planned Parenthood can
