Pre-Marital Sex
First, I would like to say I am a virgin and am very strongly opinionated on this subject. Virginity is a virtue of which to be proud, and I will remain a virgin until I am married. DO NOT TAKE THIS DEBATE IF YOU DO NOT HAVE TIME. I WOULD LIKE GOOD DEBATE, THANK YOU! Definition of marriage: A marriage is the relationship between a husband and wife. Definition of premarital: Premarital means happening at some time before someone gets married. Definition of wife: A married woman; a...
Abortion should be illegal in the United States
Medical abortion first became legal in the United States in 1973 under the Roe v. Wade supreme court ruling. In this debate, I wish to show that this ruling should be overturned, as abortion goes against the Constitution. I will prove this using logic and clear facts. I will start by defining my terms. There are many kinds of abortion, but in this debate I will specifically address the type of abortion legalized in Roe v.Wade. That is, abortion before the point of viability. I also wish to in...
Abortion
[Definitions] For clarity I pose the following definitions. Trimester: 3 months Conception: meeting of the sperm and egg [Contention] I hereby propose illegalizing abortion after the 21st day of conception except to save a woman's life, or in the case of rape or incest. [Reasons] 1. On the 21st day after conception the fetal heart starts to beat and most major organs are functioning. The common law definition of death is the stoppage of a heartbeat and most functioning organs. Mos...

Gay Marriage Should Be Legal in the United States
This debate was issued to InquireTruth... twice. He let it expire both times. Now I open it up to the public to defend his position because he apparently will not do so. *************************************************** The proposition on offer is that Gay Marriage should be legal in the United States. For the purposes of debate, "Gay Marriage" will be held to mean marriage between two individuals of the same sex. This definition arises from two segments of relevant law common to most...

Evolution is a complete fabrication without a shred of evidence
I would first like to thank my opponent for accepting this debate, and the audience for their time and participation. This debate is a challenge to the member DATCMOTO who asserted in this thread: http://www.debate.org/forums/religion/topic/1796/5/ That "Evolution is a complete fabrication without a shred of evidence". I would assume that DATCMOTO is a man of his word and means what he says. If this is the case, then I would like to challenge this assertion. I personally believe that th...

First round is for definitions and for each side to state their position. The next three rounds are debate. Please only accept this debate if you intend to finish every round....
