Persuasive Essay Outline

Introductory Paragraph

Thesis Sentence: The right to abortion must be upheld because, women must be provided with the moral right to decide what to do with their bodies and this right is essential for a woman to achieve her full potential, and, moreover, this right is very much needed to ensure gender equality.

Support for Thesis 1

Topic Sentence: Right to abortion provides women with the moral right to decide what to do with their bodies.

Detail A: Right to abortion provides the opportunity for women to control their own reproduction (Daniel, 2013).

Detail B: Right to abortion must be provided to women because “forbidding infanticide doesn’t force women to give up control of their bodies” (Hallquist, 2012).

Detail C: Denying the right to abortion to women would pathetically mean that the government is going to control the body of women politically.

Support for Thesis 2

Topic Sentence: Right to abortion is essential for a woman to achieve her full potential.

Detail A: Right to abortion empowers a woman and empowerment is needed to achieve full potential in every sphere of life.

Detail B: Right to abortion provides autonomy to women and this element is needed to improve the political, social, economic, and health status of women (“Women, empowerment and health”, 1994).

Detail C: Taking the right decision in critical times help an individual to achieve full potential in the long run and the right to abortion provides women with the right to make the right decision in critical hours.

Support for Thesis 3

Topic Sentence: Right to abortion is very much needed to ensure gender equality.

The burdens of pregnancy and childbirth fall upon women but never upon men. So only with access to abortion can women be truly equal and able to determine the course of their lives.

Detail A: It is always the woman and not the man who has to bear the burdens of pregnancy and only with access to abortion “can women be truly equal and able to determine the course of their lives” (Stark, 2013).

Detail B: Right to abortion upholds civil liberty and if a woman’s civil liberty is violated through the denial to the right to abortion then that would violate her civil liberty and this violation would instigate gender inequality (Karkoulaki, 2012).

Detail C: Men and women should equally be provided with the human right to live and denying the right to abortion to women can actually put the life of a woman at stake in the process of illegal abortion, and this can bring about gender inequality.

Conclusion

Thesis Sentence (restated in different words): The right to abortion secures human rights and fundamental rights for women and it makes it possible for women to achieve their full potential, to have control over their bodies, and to attain gender equality.
