Abortion
I believe the Supreme court decision of Roe v. Wade was correct and abortion should be a woman's choice. The ability to have abortion as a choice protects women who experience sexual violence or are raped. Also, many times a pregnancy can affect a women's health and if she does not receive a medical abortion, she faces the possibility of death....
Rape and Abortion
Resolved: Whether a fetus was conceived voluntarily or as a result of rape is a relevant factor in determining whether or not an abortion is ethical. Just to clarify, I am AGAINST the resolution. I am reposting this debate because someone took it, thinking by mistake that I was FOR the resolution. Preface: I would like to begin this debate by noting that I am in favor of abortion. Many people like to qualify their positions on this topic by saying that if a pregnancy is a result of rape th...
Legalizing Abortion Decreases the Crime Rate
You have asked to debate this, so here is the challenge. Please read everything below. Full Resolution: The legalization of abortion will most likely reduce the crime rate 16-21 years after its passing. Also, evidence that the prohibiton of abortion increases the crime rate is also relevant to this debate.

All who claim to be Pro Life must oppose capital punishment and abortion
The rules here are simple: 1. The bible is not a source 2. Pro/Con/Pro because the burden is on the affirmative. 3. Any logical fallacy employed in any argument need only be identified (cite the logical fallacy) as fallacious reasoning to be refuted. http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/659/03/ http://www.logicalfallacies.info/...
Abortion
About 205 million pregnancies occur each year worldwide. Over a third are unintended and about a fifth end in induced abortion. Most abortions result from unintended pregnancies. An abortion is medically referred to as a therapeutic abortion when it is performed to save the life of the pregnant woman; prevent harm to the woman's physical or mental health; terminate a pregnancy where indications are that the child will have a significantly increased chance of premature morbidity or mortality or b...
Abortion is murder and wrong
Abortion is wrong for so many reasons. Firstly, it is killing an innocent child. When many women kill their child, their kid has a beating heartbeat by then and whatever has a heartbeat is living. Also, people think it's safe. Think again. Anyone can do some research and see the amount of things that can go wrong after an abortion. Another thing is that it's completely disobeying God. Abortion is thus, wrong. This country outlaws murder, but yet they make some exceptions. Abortion is murder and...
Abortion is Generally Immoral
To start with, I do believe that life-saving abortion are morally justified as long as the unborn child is not yet viable. This is because in rare cases (such as ectopic pregnancies), the child's and mother's life are both in danger. If you do nothing, both will die. It is better to lose one life than two.
I will be arguing that abortions in all other cases are im...

Abortion before the end of the second trimester is murder
This debate will only involve abortions during the first or second trimester of pregnancy. Pro will have the burden of proving that abortion before the end of the second trimester is murder. As Con, I will have to refute or invalidate this claim. Definitions: Murder: The unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another [1] Abortion: The deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy [2] Second Trimester of Pregnancy...
