What is the structure of the claim body paragraphs?

Topic Sentence - Warrants (Main Points/Reasons) - Evidence (Data) - Backing (Supporting Sentences) - 2X-3X - Concluding/Transitional Sentence

True or False? Does this topic sentence have the necessary components to be considered a useable topic sentence? - People can avoid obesity by taking certain precautions.

True

True or False? Is the following a good example of a main point sentence? - A seemingly obvious way to evade obesity is by incorporating physical activity in one's weekly routine.

True

True or False? The definition of a rebuttal is redirecting the reader and reaffirming your original claim.

True

True or False? The main points are the examples that reveal your controlling idea.

True

True or False? Though this counterargument deviates from the standard format, is it effective? (True= Yes/False= No) - Abortion advocates may argue that abortion is lawful because fetuses have been granted due process. In doing so, they may cite Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade as providing due process necessary to end the life of a fetus. However, the 1973 Court decision rendered a faulty determination based on ignorance and agnosticism concerning the inception of human life. The Court stated, When those trained in the respective disciplines of medicine, philosophy, and theology are unable to arrive at any consensus, the judiciary, at this point in the development of man's knowledge, is not in a position to speculate as to the answer. (Roe v. Wade, 1973) This argument made sense in 1973 when there was dispute about when life began; however, medical advances have since rendered this argument void. As has been demonstrated, scientists and experts on both sides of the abortion debate agree that human lives actually begin at conception. To add one further example, Bernard Nathanson, founder of the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League, stated, There is simply no doubt that even the early embryo is a human being. All its genetic coding and all its features are indisputably human. As to being, there is no doubt that it exists, is alive, is self-directed, and is not the the same being as the mother-and is therefore a unified whole. (Medical Testimony, 2015) Hence, the argument that the lives of fetuses have been granted substantial or adequate benefits of due process under the law is false.
