Steven Hsieh writes to the Salon on February the 17th about the protest held on last Monday at a funeral of a 29-year-old who died from abortion complications. Hsieh begins the article by describing the movement and who was involved in it, comparing the whole thing to the well-known Baptist Church's funeral picketing. Then the author cites a few people who took part in the movement and briefly comments on their sayings. Hsieh argues with one of the citations, made by Rev. Patrick Mahoney, using Psalms 52:2 to condemn their lack of respect and their negative choice of words when dealing with the tragedy.

Hsieh's intentions with this article are very clear when it comes to his choice of adjectives and diction, as he specifically refers to the group protesting as "anti-choice activists" and to their message and actions as "repulsive" and "exploitation." The author wants to condemn their movement and to persuade the reader to feel the same, as he'll find the movement as extreme disrespect and a dishumane action.
