Resolved: The Father Should Not Have Say In an Abortion
The Father Should Not Have Say In an Abortion.
As PRO, I will be affirming this resolution by arguing that the decision should rest entirely on the mother.
As CON, you will attempt to negate the resolution by arguing that the father should have equal and/or greater say in the decision.
Burden Of Proof
Abortion is a mother's right.
It should be the prerogative of the mother to have a fetus or embryo aborted, since it is not a child, but an extension of her own body, and remains such until the third trimester. I challenge anyone to make a valid case for why a mother should not be allowed to have an abortion. The debate shall be conducted under the following rules: 1. No trolling 2. Ordered, at least to some extent, and civil conduct 3. Legible and comprehensible English 4. No sensationalism; unfounded statements like...
Abortion should be illegal
Abortion is totally gay, and should be illegal. I'm not a homophobe, but this is ridiculous....
Abortion Is Prima Facie Morally Wrong
Allow me to begin by saying how pleased I am to be debating Josh Brahm. I'm sure that many of you will never get to read a more powerful case for the pro-life position than the case you will read in the course of this debate. And I only hope that I can do as well while I proceed to defend the pro-choice position. In this debate I'm going to argue that abortion is not morally reprehensible and should not be illegal, given the actual qualities that a human fetus possesses. Unlike a person, a f...

Resolution/Closing Argument Hint: Definitions can be used in other rounds besides R1 Rules- No semantics No trolling No profanity No vulgarity Violating any of the rules results in immediate termination of the debate....
If the fetus is a human person, then abortion is generally immoral
In this debate Pro (myself) will argue that abortion is generally immoral because it directly takes the life of a human person who possesses the same basic rights that you and I have. Con will argue that the fetus is a person with said rights, but that abortion is still morally acceptable.
I ask that Con only accept the debate in this round and wait to post their opening argument until round two. Round three will consist of rebuttal...
Resolved: Legalized Abortion is the Greatest Crime against Humanity in the History of Mankind
Resolved: Legalized Elective Abortion [A] is the Greatest Crime against Humanity in the History of Mankind
Should abortion be legal?
Abortion is in my opinion morally wrong and she be illegal to some extent. That is a living creature inside of you, and has a purpose and a dream. You would be taking it away and how would you feel after that? But killing a human is not an easy thing to do, and it should not be dealt with lightly....
Abortion is a woman's decision
The rules of this debate are as follows.
My opponent has the burden of proof. He has to prove that men should have some power over the decision (or rights) to abort.
Of course, nobody...
