Abortion

couldn't wait had to accept" The prohibition of abortion will just make more deaths due to abortion."This is false. when illegal backstreet unsafe abortions decrease:Speaking before the 93rd Congress of the US, Senator James Buckley stated: "Data from foreign countries having far longer experience with legalised abortion than we have had in the US, suggest that legalisation has no effect on the criminal abortion rate. In at least three countries, the criminal abortion rate has actually risen since legalisation. Legalised abortion moves the back alley abortionists into the front office where their trade can be practised without fear of criminal prosecution." [1]alsoDr Christopher Tietze, an abortion advocate, concedes: "Although one of the major goals of the liberalisation of abortion laws in Scandinavia was to reduce the incidence of illegal abortion, this was not accomplished. Rather as we know from a variety of sources, both criminal and total abortions increased." [2]Also that is a myth behind those abortions:Prior to legalization, 90 percent of illegal abortions were done by physicians. Most of the remainder were done by nurses, midwives or others with at least some medical training. [3]In 1972, there were only 32 maternal deaths related to illegal abortion, not the thousands proclaimed by pro-abortionists. [3] "Prohibiting abortion will just increase crime and poverty. " The normal cost of a first-trimester abortion runs between $350 and $550, depending on subsidies, the method used, and other variables such as cost of living. [4]people in poverty seldom wan't to lose all of this money. Also many poor people are on welfare and welfare gives you more money if you have more kids. So a lady with 5 kids will get more money then a lady with 1. So not aborting would help them. Your argument is a fallacy. I also don't see how it would increase the trouble. "Every woman has rights. Being able to abort is one of them."right is defined as: behaviour that is considered good or moral I decided to do that since abortions debate dewll into that category. http://www.macmillandictionary.com...Now how can it be moral if the baby can feel pain: Fetuses feel pain during an abortion according to Kanwaljeet J. S. Anand, MBBS, DPhil, Professor of Pediatrics, Anesthesiology and Neurobiology at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. "If the fetus is beyond 20 weeks of gestation, I would assume that there will be pain caused to the fetus. And I believe it will be severe and excruciating pain." [5] also women get mental issues after abortion:A study of the medical records of 56,741 California medicaid patients revealed that women who had abortions were 160 percent more likely than delivering women to be hospitalized for psychiatric treatment in the first 90 days following abortion or delivery. Rates of psychiatric treatment remained significantly higher for at least four years. [6]In a study of post-abortion patients only 8 weeks after their abortion, researchers found that 44% complained of nervous disorders, 36% had experienced sleep disturbances, 31% had regrets about their decision, and 11% had been prescribed psychotropic medicine by their family doctor. [6]=end rebutals=My argumentsC1: a fetus is a human therefore killing a fetus is a killing A scientific textbook called “Basics of Biology” gives five characteristics of living things; these five criteria are found in all modern elementary scientific textbooks: 1. Living things are highly organized. 2. All living things have an ability to acquire materials and energy. 3. All living things have an ability to respond to their environment. 4. All living things have an ability to reproduce. 5. All living things have an ability to adapt. According to this elementary definition of life, life begins at fertilization, when a sperm unites with an oocyte. From this moment, the being is highly organized, has the ability to acquire materials and energy, has the ability to respond to his or her environment, has the ability to adapt, and has the ability to reproduce (the cells divide, then divide again, etc., and barring pathology and pending reproductive maturity has the potential to reproduce other members of the species). Non-living things do not do these things. Even before the mother is aware that she is pregnant, a distinct, unique life has begun his or her existence inside her. [7] A fetus is a human. C2: it is possible that aboritons causes breat cancerthis is still a contested issue but here's what I found:Most women in the United States are unaware that having an abortion increases the risk of developing breast cancer. [8]More than 30 studies have confirmed a relationship between having an abortion and the subsequent development of breast cancer. [8]Dr. Joel Brind, Professor of Biology and Endocrinology at Baruch College of the City College of New York has been crusading to get the information that abortion is a major factor in the causation of breast cancer to the public. Not one magazine or newspaper was willing to print his findings. His research was finally reported in Lancet, a fine English medical journal. [8] abortion might cause breast cancer. due to lack of space i am rushing this. C3: adoption is another option Adoption is a viable alternative to abortion and accomplishes the same result. And with 1.5 million American families wanting to adopt a child, there is no such thing as an unwanted child. [9] C4: other complications occur during abortion Complications of spontaneous miscarriages and therapeutic abortions include the following: Complications of anesthesia Postabortion triad (ie, pain, bleeding, low-grade fever) Hematometra Retained products of conception Uterine perforation Bowel and bladder injury Failed abortion Septic abortion Cervical shock Cervical laceration [10] ==out of room almost==conclusion:I have refuted my opponents case and I have my own. I would have had more contentions sadley there is a limit to space. (they should make a 15,000 option ;) ) but I will provide a video I made a while back (yes I made it) and you can watch it. I do not know if you can read it but hey, its catchy music. I will post a link, not a video square so it is easier to read. I refer to the video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5t1lLEOFucodid it work?I hope it did, watch it. sourcesThe Least of These: What Everyone Should Know About Abortion, Curt Young, 1984, Moody Press, Chicago, IL, p215 [1] "Abortion in Europe" Christopher Tietze, MD.
