Abortion is wrong.
I believe every life is precious, and the unborn baby has no say in whether or not it gets to live. Keeping her baby or not should be the option a mother gets. More info after my challenge is accepted and good luck....
Late term abortion is worse than early abortion.
i am against all types of abortion, however, I blieve late term abortion is worse than normal abortion. In late term abortion the fetus can be born, and will most likely live. Also anybody who is capable of going through the first two trimesters, without an abortion does not need one in the third trimester. By giving the late term abortion the pain will be the same whether the child is born or murdered. If the child is unwanted adoption is always open. Even if you don't believe abortion is mu...
Those who oppose the Death Penalty should also appose abortion on demand.
I often hear people denunciate the practice of capital punishment because it's inhmane. Although I disagree, I understand the perspective. What puzzles me is the large percentage of those whom I discuss the issue are, in fact; pro-choice. Some become reticent when I include partial birth abortion, but still support the practice for reasons other than the mothers' life being endangered. I find that to be a conundrum. . ....
Abortion Should Be Mandatory
It's come to my attention that a great deal of creationist Christians are against abortion: this is an inherently contradictory assertion, as I intend to show. Consider: God is of course omnibenevolent (ie, everything He does is good.) We know that God created the Earth, and He saw that it was good. Ditto with stars, seas, animals, etc. So, we can say that the Earth and everything on it (barring Man, who we'll come to later) is, as a creation of God's, inherently good. Now we come to Hi...
Resolved: In the US, Unwanted Pregnancy Abortion is an unjust medical practice.
Definitions: Unwanted Pregnancy Abortion - The intentional, systematic extermination of an unborn child for reasons other then health precautions.(E.g. death of the mother) Unjust - Not giving due For the first round, I will simply provide a value structure. (This is optional, however if my opponent wishes to make one as well, he can) Value: Justice Value Criterion: Protection the Sanctity of Innocent Life The thesis of this case protecting the sanctity of innocent life is a para...
Abortion: The Most Controversial Issue Since Slavery
In the argument of abortions, there are two sides. Of these two sides, life is the most important. Abortion gives women the power to kill an unborn child, but laws created by politicians are not rights. No human is supposed to be above another in such away that one is in danger of dying. Abortion however, exercises this right....
Should abortion be illegal?
In the age where human rights is of immense importance, why is it that society demeans the meaning of life by legalizing abortion?...
Abortion should remain legal in the United States
I am advocating that abortions, at least those occurring during the first trimester, should remain legal in the United States. Just as a note, I am still undecided about second-trimester abortion ethics, and therefore will not be arguing that in this specific debate. My initial claim - first trimester abortions should remain legal in the United States. I will allow my opponent to make the first argument against my initial claim before I debate my views....
