In the article, “The Murder of Dr. Tiller, a Foreshadowing” by Christina Page, the author is inferring that the murder of Dr. Tiller, an abortion doctor, is because we once again have a President in office that is pro abortion. The author gives statistics and numbers comparing the time periods of anti-abortion presidents against time periods of pro-abortion presidents. The author is saying that the anti-abortion movement is going to intensify. The strengths of this piece is that the author does offer a lot of surprising statistics to back up his argument which tells me that the author did a lot of research on the matter. The weakness is that the author does not reveal his sources which would have been very helpful in adding to his argument. The type of evidence that the author uses is statistics and maybe source if the author reveals his/her sources for the information. I agree with the author because the numbers are much more than a coincidence to ignore and not too many reasons for the outcome to occur.
