Abstract
Social movements have long employed different methods of persuasion and rhetorical strategies in order to reach their goals of success. Various rhetorical strategies can be seen in the rhetoric of pro-life groups specifically, and a new trend can be seen in newer pro-life groups. One example of a new pro-life group, Bound4Life, provides the case study for this analysis. This study conducted a textual analysis of the Bound4Life website and also looked at aspects of nonverbal rhetoric employed by the group to look for persuasive functions (Stewart et al., 2007) and comic and tragic framing strategies (Carlson, 1986, Turnage, 2009).
