Abortion should be legal.
Many people agree that abortion should be legal under some circumstances (i.e. if the girl is raped). Others argue that abortion should be legal for minors, only if they are able to obtain consent from their parent or legal guardian. But does the government have the right to control what a girl does to her own body? Does the government have jurisdiction over any person's own body and what happens to it? I do not believe it does. By controlling the circumstances under which a woman can have an ab...
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...
Abortion
I will be the con side in this debate. The first round is acceptance and opening contentions. No rebutals. C1: A fetus is a human therefore abortion is murder This will be explained in detail in my second round when I am actually introducung my full blown case. C2: It is morrally wrong to kill a person, and society looks down upon that act. This point can't be contested at all, but this point is dependant on my first contention. So for this to be a good contention I muat prove the...
Abortion
Abortion is murder and it should be illegal. There is no excuse for an abortion there are many alternatives too them, one example would be adoption. I would say that the ONLY reason why there should to be an abortion is in case the baby is acting as a cancer and its killing the mother, but that should be the last resort. I will await for my opponents arguments...
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...
Abortion Is Not Birth Control.
Though I agree with Abortion I do not agree that it should be used as a form of birth control. If some idiot teenager forgets to use a condom they should not have the option of abortion. They can keep it or give it away. Now if a woman is raped or there are special circumstances then it should be an option. I know I am straddling the fence on this issue but this is how I see it. I believe in using abortion responsibly. Every life is precious so we should be thoughtful of how we treat it....
Abortion ought to be legal in the United States.
Hello :) I just wanted to take up the position that you were debating against, since I think my side has a somewhat better defence than was given. I think that most participants in the debate can agree that people ought not be wantonly killed. Thus, the question that seems most fundamental to the debate is "when does personhood begin"? After all, it is only personhood that matters - not "life" (As there are a great many things that are alive that most people have little qualms about destroyin...
Abortion is wrong
Abortion. It is the killing of unborn baby's. In this debate I will call it the fetus. Killing a fetus is murder. You would not kill your friend if you coulld not take care of him. All humans are born with the inatwe trait of intelligence. Humans are sentinel beings. We can think. A fetus si still a human being meening that it is sentinel, it can think, it is alive. If you saw a baby alone, on a dark cold night would you not take pitty on it or would you kill it? Abortion is the worst scapegoat...
Scientifically speaking, abortion should not be legal.
Much of the debate surrounding abortion is whether or not a fetus is a person. If they are a person, I think most agree that they should have some fundamental rights. So what does science have to say about all this? Well, genetically speaking, a fetus is genetically indistinguishable from a baby, a child, or an adult. If you define personhood genetically, a fetus is as much a person as you or I, and entitled to the same fundamental rights. Now, this definition of personhood may not be the...
Abortion is Immoral --- Tournament Debate, round 1
Resolved: Abortion is Immoral. MasterKage is Pro. He believes abortion is immoral, wrong, should not be done. He can make exceptions for rape and incest if he chooses, but the point is that abortion itself is a wrong thing, from the moment of conception. He doesn't have to argue that abortion should be illegal, but he should argue that it is immoral. Pro has the burden of proof. Wiploc is Con. His personal opinion is that abortion is good; lots of people should abort. Requiring abort...
