In the article "Baby Hope's Birth Mom Has a Name" the author, Jennifer Weiner, appeals to pathos to argue that many people, including abortion opponents and politicians, tend to take the woman out of the pregnancy. Weiner appeals to pathos through strong language and story telling, discussing how Trump shared the miraculous story of how baby Hope was adopted, but never sharing any details about the birth mother, almost removing her from the story completely. She also exemplifies how abortion opponents tend to take the mother out of the equation in an attempt to make the fetus more important than the mother. She appeals to pathos with this example by showing how heartless abortion opponents can be in an attempt to win an argument. Weiner appeals to pathos in an attempt to show that many abortion opponents take the mother out of the equation in an attempt to make their case.
