    This message qualifies as propaganda because it makes people respond emotionally in a deliberate and systematic way by using the supposed intelligence of fetuses. This type of propaganda is harmful. The propagandist is selling their message by using a small baby's hand and using appeals to emotion. This is an emotional appeal to pity because the message is saying that if you don't agree fetuses will get "hurt".

    This is propaganda because it is intended to show viewers what they think is wrong amd attempt to make you feel like them. This is a beneficial message because it is trying to save babies rather than let them die. The propaganda is selling its message through advocacy because it is addressing a controversial topic that they feel needs attention. This appeals to pity because they make you think that if you disagree, the baby will be harmed.
