Wade law in order to save lives.
Technique Used
Activate Emotion
This is propaganda because
This is propaganda because it is arguing to abolish a law that was set in place to give women rights when it came to having an abortion. This picture itself is propaganda because it activates emotions in viewers to see a mother with a baby saying you can love them both which is implying motherhood is the best and only option for women.

    I can see why this post would be effective with pro life believers. It makes it look like having a baby is something to be celebrated and joyous about. My issue is that if a woman has an accidental or forced pregnancy, carrying it to term can cause severe health issues for her whether it is physical, emotional, or mental. It can also cause problems for the baby if it has a mother that never actually wanted a kid.

    I feel pro life propaganda is harmful because it does not display the true reality that pro choice is a woman's right to her body. The term pro life does not mean one is anti-life if they choose to abort a pregnancy that can't financially afford to raise a child.
