Abortion should be illegal in all cases.

Ok I see your points, So now I will rebut them with the one and only reason we are having this debate. Abortion is not murder, Because here is the definition of murder "The unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another. " Now lets get the definition of a human being "A man, Woman, Or child of the species Homo sapiens, Distinguished from other animals by superior mental development, Power of articulate speech, And upright stance" Ok so a fetus has no mental development, No upright stance and is not considered a human being because it's not fully developed or a human yet, It's a bunch of cells reproducing. A birth of a baby is the beginning of life. The courts already have decided this. So there is no argument about it. What you believe is irrelevant. Your opinion doesn't matter. Hell you can believe cows are sacred like Hindus but they are just human consumption bovines. You can believe whatever you want about abortion in your made up twisted mind. But the bottom line is society has set the parameters for abortion and you are wrong. And you can suggest your point of view, But majority of people disagree with you and I do too. You can speculate and make up your own "Should be arguments" but bottom line is abortion is legal and always will be except to the very few religious zealots. I know you don't want to include religion in this debate, But that is exactly what it comes down too. There is a correlation between abortion protesters and religion. Just like there is a correlation between the death penalty and religion. My next debate will be "All religions should be abolished" anyone religious should be locked up in a mental rubber room ward.
Abortion should be illegal in all cases.

"Look we both know you are religious and that is your whole point of this debate. Your religious beliefs is what make you make these statements about abortion. Everyone else knows that life starts after birth, Not before. By law that is what constitutes life. " 1. I never said anything about my religion, Argue with my facts. 2. By law, Apparently that is not what constitutes life, Because abortion isn't legal until birth. "You are taking this from the religious angle not from the scientific/law angle. " I've literally only stated fact. "By the way the government is there to impose and govern society based on the majority rule of the people. Most people agree that life starts at birth and therefore have elected government officials to impose that as law and govern that. You don't agree with it and so you created this debate. Unfortunately you are the few that still believe a woman has no choice. That she has to have a child because she accidentally got pregnant. And what about in case of a rape. Is she supposed to have the bastard/serial killer child? " I'm not saying you have to parent the child, Just that you can't kill it. Yes the woman does have a choice, Just not to end another human life. She has to give birth to her child, Not mother it. Give it up for adoption. We'll talk about the rape cases when you agree that all other abortion is bad. You're not going to guilt me into believing a broad based abortion platform because the vast minority of cases aren't the woman's fault. Rape is bad, You shouldn't kill babies. End of story. "For one second put yourself in a woman's shoes, You get raped by some stranger, And now you are supposed to have his child? What if you are 17 and get pregnant before heading out to college. Are you supposed to stop your education to have a kid? To jeopardise your future in school and career because of one night of unprotected sex, Or accidental pregnancy? " I can't do that, Because it'd be very easy for me to give it up for adoption if I thought it might get in the way of my career. No you aren't, You're supposed to do whatever you want with it, Except for kill it. "Who the hell are you to tell a woman what she can and can not do with her body. I have a better solution "Why don't you fvck off and mind your own body" Abortion is a woman's choice not yours. So go back to your bible studies and preaching of imaginary beings. " Abortion is death chosen for someone else. Murder. And again, I never said anything about my religion. Im not forcing any beliefs on you, I'm simply stating what I believe as a person, Not as a God-worshipper. "Abortion is an option for a woman, It has nothing to do with you" If you want to go down to the local CVS and buy a pack of condoms for 12 bucks, Go for it. I don't care. I do care when you start killing babies, This is a problem for me. I hope you see that my argument is the only logical one.

Abortion should be illegal in all cases.

Abortion is not murder, It's not illegal and it should never be illegal. The fetus is not considered a human being until birth by law. And that is how things should be. Until birth or late in the pregnancy the fetus is not even developed into a human, More like a tadpole. We already do not allow abortions after 26 weeks of pregnancy, That is when the fetus starts developing human features. Before that it's just cells dividing. Besides how can you even argue for or against abortion when you are not a woman? That's like a woman saying, Every guy should be circumcised at birth. A woman should have say and rights to her own body, No government should be making any laws against abortion or what a woman can and can't do. There are a million reasons a woman might not want to have a child after getting pregnant. That is her choice. There is teen pregnancies that could ruin her future with school and career, Maybe she just doesn't want a child at this time, Why bring a child into the world and than resent it, We have plenty of children like that, That end up turning into serial killers. It's a woman's choice whether she wants the child or not, Now after birth you can't get rid of a child, That's murder, But before birth early in the pregnancy a woman deserves all the choices she wants, It's her body, Her life and her future, And religious zealots like you who have been brainwashed into believing that a sperm and egg is a person are just the same people who believe in some crazy being called God, Who is no different than Santa Clause. You think you can impose your beliefs on a woman? Sorry bud, But the law allows for abortions, So you can vent and say IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL, But it's not and only you and all the loonies who go and shoot up an abortion clinic because they believe God told them to do it, Should be locked up in a rubber room for the mentally ill. Abortion is legal and every woman has a right to it. You as a man, I should say child have no rights to a woman's body mic drop
Alexis Sanchez will lead Arsenal to the Champions League

Although the Road is Challenging Mr. Sanchez is quite the prevailer and you mean to tell me Danny Welbeck or Arron Ramsey are not factors in the champions league and even though Our defenders are not the best Szczesny can be a brick wall and im not even going to bring up Ozil............ Alexis is the main event but don't forget about the others
Addiction is not a mental disorder.

I would like to apologize for not providing a argument, i was busy (yea excuses). Nonetheless, since the instigator has rebutted my arguments, I will do so also (I will keep it short): "All mental illnesses are unsolvable. No amount of therapy or drugs can solve autism, schizophrenia, anti-social personality disorder, or even post traumatic stress disorder." You did not provide a source here, but, I will refute it. Epidemiological (science that studies the patterns, causes, and effects of health and disease conditions in defined populations [1]) studies have based on clinically assessed schizophrenic population has proved a high overlap in regards to addiction and the disease [2] Another important point that supports my argument is "The early identification of addictive disorders in schizophrenics should make it possible to limit their development and improve the prognosis." [2] As you can see, this publication (published by Unit"e de Traitement Ambulatoire des Malades Alcooliques, H"opital Beaujon, 100, Boulevard du G"en"eral Leclerc, 92110 Clichy, France.) has found a link between schizophrenia and addiction. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder "Diagnosis, or the co-existence of a serious psychiatric disorder and an addictive disorder. Recovering from this Dual Diagnosis requires a careful exploration of the causes of PTSD, combined with treatment for drug or alcohol addiction" [3] The above reference as seen in link #3 makes a correlation to PTSD and drug and alcohol addiction, these factors have influenced the mental stability of an individual, secluding/marginalizing the individual from his/her/its peers in order to conduct the above actions (ie. do drugs). The same hypothesis can be applied to Anti-Social Personality Disorder. VOTE CON! :) [1] https://www.google.ca... [2] http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov... [3] http://www.dualdiagnosis.org...
Addiction is not a mental disorder.

Experiencing pleasure and or joy is not a mental illness nor is having a physical dependance. Addiction can be a psychological dependance and in that case intervention passed some sort of rehab plan will be necessary. The fact the therapy can solve (at least temporally) drug addiction by finding the route problem displays that it is not a mental illness. Addiction can be a result of mental illness therefore you can help the addiction. If someone is taking drugs they got hooked at a party and it has developed into an addiction can be "fixed" by putting them in a room without drugs until the detox has finished. That can not happen with any other metal illness. All mental illnesses are unsolvable. No amount of therapy or drugs can solve autism, schizophrenia, anti-social personality disorder, or even post traumatic stress disorder. Therapy can help reduce the symptoms or behaviours although it can not make the problem go away. Some mental illnesses are caused by experiences and external substances of a sort although any mental illness caused by external influences can not be solved by removing those influences. So if you were to compare addiction to other mental disorders, as I just did, you would find that they have little in common. I think that addiction is a medical disorder. Most addictions are related to physical things; those that are not are labeled as a fetish. Fetishes can not be solved by having the desired experience denied to them it just strengthens the craving (similar to people with anti-social personality disorder). Addiction is a big problem and should get attention; that being said many people that have previously been addicted to something should have therapy for some metal illness or problem but not the no longer existent addiction. Addiction is the result not the cause.
Addiction is not a mental disorder.

I will start my arguments from this section. The instigator can in the next section rebutte my arguments as well as provide his/her own. I will be debating that addiction is a mental disorder. See below why: 1. Addiction due to Dopamine [1] Addiction due to drug use (both street drugs as well as prescription drugs), sex addiction, tobacco and alcohol addiction are all related in one way. They stimulate the brain to secrete dopamine. Dopamine: a compound present in the body as a neurotransmitter and a precursor of other substances including epinephrine. Nearly all addictive drugs directly or indirectly target the brain in order to reward and flood the circuit system into releasing the above dopamine. The responsibility of this compound is to regulate emotion movement, cognition, motivation, and feelings of pleasure. Once this system of normal release/secretion is disrupted due to pre-longated exposure/consumption of drugs it creates an addiction in the sense that the brain becomes depended and used to always having that dopamine. In the event that the brain does not get its dosage of the compound it starts to crave for it. [2] This is what leads to addiction (addiction: the fact or condition of being addicted to a particular substance, thing, or activity. ) Therefore the brain does not operate in the same matter as it did prior to that addiction being created. The soul prupose of the brain is now to satisfy its craving of receiving dopamine. [1] . http://www.drugabuse.gov... [2] . http://www.summithelps.com...
Abortion (I'm Against)

But as I said before, it is not human yet, and cannot be considered man slaughter! Also, enough with the Declaration Of Independance - it does say other things that the Four Fathers declared!!! Such as man's independance...so why can't women have this same freedom? It becomes a whole different issue in terms of abortion and suddenly it is the State's point of view or the family's point of view (although, they have a right) I have said this a few times, and I will say this again - I don't think people have the right to decide, it is only for the mother, whether she wants a baby or not, and if she doesn't, she shouldn't be regarded as a murderer for this. A thousand cells in our body day a minute, so are we murderers? What is the difference...the fact that abortion is done in the first trimester is because THEY ARE STILL CELLS AND THEY HAVEN'T FORMED YET. Women have pregnancy rights, and therefore has the right to decide whether she wants the foetus. Notice, I say foetus...it can be ethical even though my opponent argues that we are "destroying life for the future because of their right to live" even though an abortion can prevent the foetus from having an even worse future, and so generally it is for the foetus - and as the foetus is not yet a living body of its own, should not be considered unethical because they are still cells. Also, if someone gets pregnant at a young age (late teens to early adulthood) going through with pregnancy would be even more physically and mentally exhausting than having the abortion. So, even though my arguement may not be as strong...I still believe that abortion, if necessary, should be a legal procedure. Especially in terms of politics as men don't go through with pregnancy and by making it illegal, further reduces women's rights. I am not trying to sound "feminist" but, abortion shouldn't be considered a sin or something - women shouldn't have to be so unfairly judged for having this procedure. Sex is also a natural part of life, to give your consent to that should not be judged, like your opinion to have an abortion should not be judged either. Personally, I feel we are lucky to have it in this country, than in other countries where it is illegal and girls are forced to fulfill the sexual desires of their much older husbands and give birth at barely 14. Thank you for listening to my arguement and to my competitor - may the best man (or woman) win!
Abortion (I'm Against)

You just helped me prove my point. If you got raped or whatever, then if you can possibly take care of the child, do so. If not, the adopt them out. Anything is better than having to resort to unethical and unfair killing of a fetus. It's not the fetus fault that you got raped, or pregnant, or anything else for that matter. Also, the fetus is the start of a humans life, so although it cannot feel pain, it is still being unfairly killed. If you cant afford it, or they might be better off somewhere else, adopt them out. If you CAN afford it, and they'd have a good home life with you, then take care of it. The child deserves to live, remember The Declaration of Independence? It doesn't matter what the situation is, abortion is simply unethical. In fact, some abortions can actually have a negative impact on the mother's health. Women who go through abortion have an 30% higher chance of getting Breast Cancer. Rectal Cancer is also possible after an abortion. And, Abortions can effect future pregnancies. Abortion plain and simple is not good for 1. The innocent child that has no say and should not be denied it's rights in the decision-making, 2. It negatively impacts women's health afterwards and 3. Why kill a innocent child when you can allow it to live, whether you raise it yourself, or adopt it where they'll be better off. Finally 4. If you think our population is increasing then maybe we should have less kids so we wouldn't have to resort to aborting but still keep our species going. This is more ethical than killing off human life.
Abortion (I'm Against)

Yes, I understand that the foetus itself can't make any decisions. But imagine, a world where abortion wouldn't exist...so would a woman who got pregant via rape have to keep her child? And if not, why then deny other women these rights? Because she was raped? So...now, the system would have to make benefits for abortion (e.g. a hierarchy) ...so people who were impregnated forcefully can abort but other people can't? Who deserves to have abortion etc... Also women who have been raped would not want to be reminded of this horrible experience by keeping the rapist's baby. Also, the whole reason for abortions, is its done in the first trimester...when the foetus does not exist independantly from its mother, and so the concept of being human cannot come into play. Define "human" it comes with the definition that we have the attributes as people (i.e. being able to think, feel pain) but the foetus cannot do any of these things and so is not considered human but just the cells that will THEN go on to form a human...and so by having abortion in the first trimester, is not considered manslaughter. And so, one could say that personhood doesn't begin at conception, but at birth. Also, when implanting cells, when you have the egg cells implanted in you and there are extra cells not implanted (which are then thrown away), is that not considered murder? Also, if women were to keep children...what would happen if they had neither the means nor the money, then consider abortion an alternative to a horrible lifestyle, and should not come into the world unwanted. Not to mention the fact that contraceptives may not be readily available and that by banning abortion, will create illegal back-alley abortions which endangers the life of the mother. (Technically you'd be reducing the female population) and again, is a completely safe and useful tool for controlling the population. And I wanted to ask another important question concerning this...does that mean (women and men) need to control our sexual desires in order to avoid getting pregnant, if abortion was illegal? But then surely this would affect us as a species because as humans we need to fulfill these desires, and also this could indeed increase the likelihood of rape. If women wouldn't want children and we can control these desires and lets face it...men have A LOT more desires going though their head, than they'd rather say... So if it were illegal...would we have to turn our backs on these women and say "well it's your fault for getting pregnant..." that doesn't seem fair to me at all. The basis of having sex is completely normal in society, whether one would want an abortion is entirely up to them.
Abortion (I'm Against)

I'm not saying I'm against equal rights, in fact, I'm up for it. But, however, I believe abortion is wrong, so its your opinion if that has to do with women's rights. I don't think it does. Here's why. It's not just the mother's opinion that counts. The baby has rights too, you know. And since they have no voice, how is aborting them without any say fair? And, if you don't want the child, at least adopt it. This would be a healthier, happier option for both the mother and the child. If possible, take care of it yourself if you can. Children don't deserve to be aborted without any say or have their rights denied that U.S. citizens have, as I had stated with The Declaration of Independence before. Their living in America like the rest of us.
Abortion (I'm Against)

Yes, I agree however...abortion is a basic part of a woman's pregnancy rights whether she wants the baby or not. And if women don't have abortion rights, then we impact just how much freedom women as a gender, have - so it is vital for gender equality. Also, by saying abortion is illegal is basically removing all rights from their own bodies. It just seems unfair that everyone else hould have to decide whether a woman should keep a baby. Also, what would happen to the population if abortion was illegal? Surely the population would continue to increase dramatically! People keep saying well doesn't the foetus have rights...but the same could be said for the mother: doesn't she have rights?
Abortion (I'm Against)

A fetus is a separate cell from the mother, so its not a part of the mothers body, regardless of the babies need for her womb. And at fertilization, is a living thing. The baby has no say in the matter, for one thing, and for another, The Declaration of Independence clearly states that all men are created equal, and are endowed LIFE, LIBERTY, and the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. By aborting a fetus, we are denying it those basic rights every American citizen has, so how is a fetus not a U.S. citizen? The fetus grows into a living human baby and eventually into an adult, a state of life that takes place each and everyday of its life.
Abortion (I'm Against)

Hello, I am for abortion. Personally, I don't think people (especially women) should be restricted as to what they can or cannot do. They should be able to decide whether they want to keep a child or not. Of course, I do agree that it can get ridiculous (e.g. prostitutes repeatedly having abortions so that they can continue working) - however, it is the woman's body and she should decide, it is for no one else except for herself. And yes, people argue that you are "taking away a life" but, the fact is, who are we to decide that? Many scientists argue that the growing child is still a foetus and so shouldn't be counted as "manslaughter" until a certain period of time. And also, in many court proceedings concerning abortions, why is the mother never allowed to decide whether to keep her child or not? Why should her husband say anything or, as a matter of fact, a judge who doesn't even know her? So I am for abortion, but that doesn't mean I am for killings, all I am saying is that it is no-one's place to reprimand someone for having abortions, the only opinion that matters is that of the one who is carrying the child.
