Blog Stage 6

I think that you made a lot of good points about the Texas legislator and the types of laws that they propose. Laws are supposed to be made to keep people safe and enforced to maintain order in our society. However, the laws that some of our legislators are pushing are intended to make people feel guilty about the decisions they have to make, not to keep people from getting hurt. Not only that, I believe that deciding to have an abortion is probably a very difficult thing to do and that making someone feel guilty about their choose is truly cruel.
While I agree with your point of view, I believe that the basis for your argument is emotion and when arguing in favor of something you should use logic and facts to help others understand where you’re coming from. The more facts and details you give, the more credible you become as a writer/speaker and people are more willing to listen to you. Perhaps you could have given more background information about the bill as well. Information such as, the representative who was pushing the bill or how many people voted for it to pass could have been helpful. Other than that, I think that the blog was good and provided readers with something to think about.
