    The maker of this propaganda wants the reader to be against abortion. It is advertising to choose life. This is an example of Activate emotion because it is trying to change the way people feel about abortion. Their goal is to stop abortion, so by creating this propaganda, they want to change the audience's mind about abortion. By showing a picture of a fetus, they are trying to get some emotion out of people so they can realize how bad abortion is. I think this propaganda is beneficial because it shortly and simply explains that life is important by showing a picture of a fetus and briefly reminding the viewer that life matters.

    The maker of this propaganda wants people to be against abortion and be pro life. They do this by showing a fetus, helpless, unable to defend itself in the womb. This is symbol because it shows what is suffering if you end that baby's life. This ad is meant to make people feel bad for the baby and make them rethink having an abortion because pro-life is the only choice, which is simplification. I believe that this piece of propaganda is beneficial because women should care about their child's life.

    This is an example of symbol because it displays a short and simple sentence that easy to remember and still gets the point across. This is definitely a pro life and against abortion. This is could be see as beneficial or harmful. Beneficial because it saves a life, but there are certain medical cases were abortion may be the only answer.

    The maker of this piece of propaganda is trying to convince people to chose pro-life rather than pro-choice. The image of the fetus is used to activate people's emotion and to get people to feel sorry for the fetus and realized how harmful abortion can be. This piece of propaganda can be seen as harmful or beneficial, because it's bringing attention to the cause and activating emotion, but the piece can also be controversial to people with a different view on the cause.

    The propagandist uses slogan here to help the reader remember to always choose life. This is Harmful because people should make their own choice especially if they know they are not going to be able to take care of a child. A child should not have to go through years of suffering when it could have all been avoided.

    This piece of propaganda wants people to be aware babies die and there is nothing the baby can do to prevent it. It uses simplification because it makes you think there is only one choice; the right choice. But this piece is also confusing because it makes you think, yes it is a choice if you want to have a child or not, and the "She's a child" does not help that the makers of this is against abortion.

    The quote, "She's a child, not a choice," is another way of saying that since abortion kills innocent babies, it should be obvious to not proceed with the abortion. It is making people who have chosen abortion seem harmful.

    This propaganda is trying to make the audience be against abortions. By using ethos, the piece is displaying the picture of a baby fetus, and saying that it is a living thing, not a choice. The caption says how important a baby's life is and giving it it's own choice. In my opinion, this is not per say harmful, but its not beneficial. I think that mothers have the right to choose if they want to keep THEIR baby or not.

    This propaganda piece convinces people to chose pro-life. The author draws the fetus helpless to activate peoples emotions to make them rethink having an abortion. Also this piece shows simplicity because the phrase, "She's a child, not a choice" is very one-sided and only talks about how pro-life is the only option, when you could be pro-choice. I think this propaganda is harmful because it should be up o the mother to choose what she would like to do since it is her child.

    The goal of this piece of propaganda is to get others to protest abortion and see an unborn child as a living person. The picture of the baby in the womb works to make people think of it like an actual living baby. It also plays on the right that everyone has the right to live. Glittering generalities is sort of in play. By using the word "she" instead of "it", the maker can make someone think of it as a person without them even knowing it. Overall, I think this is more beneficial than harmful because it doesn't really offend anyone, it just tries to stop abortion.

    The propaganda is trying to get people to be anti-abortion. They do this using a logo saying "she's a child, not a choice." Pathos is also used because it triggers sadness when thinking about a child "being a choice." The propaganda was positive because it promotes life. In my opinion abortion is wrong.

    This piece of propaganda wants to convince people to choose pro-life, and that abortion is a negative choice. The saying "She's a child, not a choice" can be an example of slogan for propaganda. Also, simplification is used because it is making people think that there is only one choice, which is pro-life. I think that this is beneficial because this piece of propaganda can persuade people into believing that pro-life is the right choice to make, and it can save another child from being aborted.

    This piece of propaganda wants people to be against abortion. This uses the technique of using emotions. This is used because they make you feel sad that people are killing children. It also uses slogan because the biggest words on the poster are "she's a child, not a choice" which is short, but has a lot of meaning to it. This piece of propaganda is beneficial because it makes people think that abortion is killing innocent children. Innocent children getting hurt makes people want to act and do something.

    This piece is trying to make people choose against abortion and choose life. The maker of this makes it simple and quick for the viewers to understand that life matters. A baby is still a person and deserves to grow up. In my opinion I think this is beneficial because it isn't saying anything bad.
