Abortion

I appreciate my opponents response. My opponent often feels the need to notify me that I have some explaining to do based on the arguments I provide. Well, it's time for my opponent to start explaining himself. ********************************************************************************************************* My opponent asked me to prove that a fetus is in fact a human being, which would qualify abortion as murder. As my opponent pointed out, I used his own source to provide sufficient information. However, he failed to point out the argument I made which suggested that a fetus is a human being because it is developing, just as he and I are still developing. So I appreciate my opponent still trying to argue that a fetus is not a human being, but he failed to rebuttal my arguments that a fetus is a human being because it is developing; therefore, have the same rights as any human being. Please refer to my (Ib) round 3 argument. In regards to my opponents remarks on my (Ia) round 3 argument, I have to point out that I predicted what my opponent was going to argue and answered it: "Now my opponent might try to argue that this source is referring to the baby as a mother would talk about a fetus in her womb; however, in the context of the source, the source is referring to the fetus as a person. You would never use pronouns such as "his" to refer to a person (or fetus) who is not a human being or animal. A more appropriate term for something that was not a human being would be "it", something that was not living or a human being/animal." The cite my opponent used was indeed a parenting website, but a mother carrying a baby did not right the source. My opponent stated: "If a parent wants to call its offspring a "child," good for them, that's their choice, and a parenting website would reflect that." He is right, if a parent wants to refer to their fetus as a "child" they can do that. But if I am correct a mother carrying a baby did not write that article. It was someone informing a mother what their fetus (a living human being) looked like at 8 weeks of pregnancy. My opponent of has some explaining to do to why he did not rebuttal ALL of my arguments made that a fetus is a human being. ********************************************************************************************************* Once again my opponent has some explaining to do, regarding his Bible argument. My opponent stated in his round 2 argument: "Here is verse on accidental with an explanation:" (I believe the word accidental is supposed to be abortion) My opponent followed that statement with Exodus 21:22-23. Now, in my opponents round 3 rebuttal he stated: "My point in Exodus was that YHWH apparently values the unborn fetus as less than human." So, I ask my opponent why he did not explain in round 3 this was classified as abortion. My opponent also stated that the Bible, other than the verses he and I stated (Exodus 21:22-33, the verse my opponent used, is not even about abortion), is not much evidence for much by itself. He is correct, because the Bible does not talk about abortion at all, it talks about life and creation which leads me to my next argument/rebuttal. My opponent is correct, in Genesis 2:7 God does bring to life an adult male (Adam), and later brings to life an adult female (Eve). But the point is that is when we become alive, for any person. Obviously for Adam and Eve, the first human beings, we're adults, it would be impossible for them to live as children. That's why God created them as adults. But as I noted as one of my round 3 arguments, life begins when God breathes the breath of life into our bodies. "So breath is life, and when life is breathed into the earthen vessel that is a human body, it comes alive." -Genesis 2:7 In nowhere of this verse does it say it applies to one person. In fact, it literally describes when we are first alive. ********************************************************************************************************* I have answered every question or argument my opponent has given, no matter what they proclaim. I encourage them to rebuttal accordingly. I await my opponents response. Thank you.
