I will not contradict myself.

----Contradictions---- For the sake of my opponent being libertarian, I will drop the Gay Marriage legalization. For, he most likely supports it, but wants the government out of marriage (good idea). Pro-Life Life: The quality that distinguishes a vital and functional being from a dead body http://www.merriam-webster.com... Pro: the affirmative side or one holding it http://www.merriam-webster.com... If my opponent was truly pro-life, he would support universal healthcare, as U.HC ultimately gives care to the people without it. You cannot deny people life or death surgery that they need to live, and call yourself Pro-Life. My opponent may be CON-abortion, but is not truly Pro-life. My opponent in R2 Q1 said he was Pro-Life, but in R3 Q2 he said he is against universal healthcare. Basing pro-life on abortion is narrow, since some people consider a fetus not a human person, but are nonetheless pro-life when it comes to late-term fetus' or living human persons.If my opponent was truest pro-life, he could support Universal HC and oppose abortion. However, my opponent contradicted. Supporting Military In R2 Q1, my opponent said he is pro-life, and said in R4 he opposes abortion. In R4 Q3, he said he supports our troops. However, if you think about our women soldiers who are raped by our other soldiers, and you deny them an abortion, to the women soldier it is liked being raped twice, once by another soldier, and second by a ideological pundit. If you support our troops, you would want our raped women soldiers to have the right to an abortion if they desired so. School Vouchers My opponent said in R4 Q2 he supports school vouchers. In R2 Q6 says he supports separation of church and state. With school vouchers, the government would technically be giving religious institutions funding for religious education. Although religious education is not the main (or only) type of education being given, it is certainly be given. The majority of private schools are religiously-based. School: an organization that provides instruction Voucher: a coupon issued by government to a parent or guardian to be used to fund a child's education in either a public or private school http://www.merriam-webster.com... Environment In R3 Q9 my opponent said he supports regulation of pollution produced by industry. However, he doesn't support the environment (R4 Q7). This is not exactly a contradiction, but is very strange nonetheless, and deserves a rebuttal. Government In R4 Q8, my opponent says he is pro-government. However, he wants to get rid of nearly all taxes (R4 Q6). However, he supports (many) of the scientific and medical establishments (R4 Q10). Even if he doesn't support them all, he supports some. With very very low taxation (getting rid of nearly all taxes), the scientific and medical establishments wouldn't exist. The past and current taxpayes invested with their tax money in the scientific and medical establishments (for example, the N.I.H., the Genome project, Manhattan project, the Internet, Center for Disease Control, Clean Water and Clean Air policies, National Weather Service, Food and Drug Safety programs, etc.) Federal Funds pay for 80% of the basic science research costs in this nation, especially through the institutions I listed above. If you cut nearly all of the funding, you won't have them. However, you are pro government, but against taxes, and for the science and medical establishments, but against taxes. A few contradictions here. [1] Source: [1] http://governmentisgood.com...
