Abortion is generally immoral.

You mistook the intention of my statement "abortion is a personal choice". It's mean that whoever wants one should decide on their own account. Making abortion illegal is the same as dictating ones future, because that's exactly what happens with an unplanned child. I will begin my rebuttal, you state that a fetus is a living organism. True. But a fetus does not exist mentally. It is merely a fertilized egg. When a child is born however, any injuries or attempts at harm can be considered criminal because it has breathed, it can make sounds, it can somewhat think. You also forgot to define "immoral". The words meaning between you and me can be different, and I'd like to know where you quoted that long scientific column from. "Birth control failure" Most People go through birth control because they can't support a child. This is shows wisdom and initiative towards caring as a mother. If she willy nilly has children, or is denied an abortion because it is illegal, she will not be ready financially, therefore the baby will not be cared for properly, showing how inconsiderate pro-lifers are of the child. "Inability to support a child" This is actually, for the same reasons I stated above, why woman should abort. They are acknowledging they could not support a family and they are taking the initiative by removing the fetus, not a human being. "Unwanted pregnancy" You have no idea to the thoughts of a mother going through an trauma like an unexpected pregnancy, unless of course you have experienced one, then I would be clueless as to why you would take the chances of raising an unexpected child. "Birth defects" Define perfect health. And another thing. Pre-natal scanning determines the look of said fetus, it cannot diversify birth or mental defects, therefore making this point completely invalid. "Rape" This has to be the most ludicrous thing I've read in an abortion debate. I'm appalled you said "Just because you got raped does not mean you can kill the child". How seriously do you think about rape? Do think a woman should have a child from a man she has no connection to? Every time she looks at the child, she will be reminded the wrongs done to her, trauma like that's drives good people to suicide. Her family would want the baby aborted, they want a grandchild who's father they know. You insinuate that when a woman aborts a child conceived through rape, its greedy. I find that absolutely appalling. Reconsider what you said here, I'm lost for words. "Mental defects to mother" I don't think people with mental disorders kill for pleasure, especially something inside of them that has no physical appearance to yourself. Of course, there are some mental disorders that cause that, but even then I'm sure they would be noticeable. I don't believe I need a platform, my rebuttals serve for that purpose. Overall my opponents has misused the word "Immoral" many times, mostly in her section about rape. She really only has 4 points, and they all revolve around the idea that the human fetus is "self-aware". She insinuates that murdering your brother is the same to surgically removing a human fetus. After all, murder is murder, right? I ask again, define Immoral, and broaden your horizons, removal of a fetus is not a crime in the eyes of the law, in the eyes of a functioning society, and the eyes of the mother. Woman should have a birth planned out, not just for themselves but also for the baby, if they don't, then and only then are they being morally selfish.
