Is abortion right

Still I don't think kids should be having sex they have Med's for stress and depression Most depression and stess related medications are extremely harmful for children, and icrease the risk of suicide. The only exception really is cannabis which is, for the most part, illegal in the United States, while sex is legal for everyone over the age of consent in that state. In 30 states it is 16, with eight states being set at 17, and 12 states at 18. [1] plus sex is not made for enjoyment or to help with problems I would like to point out many things, right here, such as how the body is made for sexual plesure, notably the female clitorus and breasts, and how many people enjoy anal, or oral sex far more than vaginal sex, regardless of their sex or orientation, which clearly shows that yes, it is for pleasure, every bit as much as a blueberry muffin is. As for the health aspect it is noted that sex therapy has often been perscibed to people who suffer mental isses such as bi-polar or depression as well as stress, and for physical injuries as well. "its for reproduction between a man and a women for a child to be made and for nothing else. I just wanted to get that out of the way. " Which is completely false. Not every sexual experience is meant to have children, which is why there are homosexuals, birth control, alternative ways of reachig sexual pleasure, which inclue pornography, oral or anal sex, "finguring", "hand jobs", stimulation of the clitorus, and many other things. It again, is similar to food, which may be used to nurture us with what we need to live, and may be the only real way to do so, but it is by far not the only reason people eat. People tend to eat because they like it, and because some things just taste good, even if the health benefits or nutrients are low/non existant. And if people get fat from eating unhealthy things, they do not need to live like that, they can excersize, or even get liposection, which removes the issue from enjoying one's self. Sex is natural, child birth is natural, but children are by far not the only reason people have sex, nor is it why the vast majority of people have it. Even Judaism allows for birth control (although they tend to not allow the use of condoms, unless someone has an STD) "The primary purpose of sex is to reinforce the loving marital bond between husband and wife. The first and foremost purpose of marriage is companionship, and sexual relations play an important role. Procreation is also a reason for sex, but it is not the only reason. Sex between husband and wife is permitted (even recommended) at times when conception is impossible, such as when the woman is pregnant, after menopause, or when the woman is using a permissible form of contraception. " [2] As far as the points about helping the child later in life, or how a short life is better than no life, I disagree. Lets say for instance someone is very spirtualistic, and they belive that by having an abortion, they send that child's soul to a time where it can be better cared for and live a better life than the one that can be provided, or that suffering due to the mother having a very bad disease such as AIDS, can be 100% eliminated, by allowing that child's soul to go somewhere else, without having to suffer the pain, and the illness, or the torture of everyday life for that child. It may not be what you or I believe, but it may be true, and it may be someone else's belief, and so long as it is not actually harming anyone, what right do we have to tell them they are wrong? True a fetus may not have a heart beat or breath yet but can you prove that it is not living and not just in a different state of life? Can you prove that it matters, if the fetus is incapable of feeling? My opponent goes on to advocate medication, which many people find morally repugnant, such as myself. The United States have laws that require animal testing for all approved medication, so people such as myself will not support it. Putting aside morality, it is well known that taking medication can increase risk for far worse things. Accutane is medication used to treat acne, yet its side effects include Pain and swelling of the lips Severe itching Alopecia (hair-thinning/hair-loss/baldness) Fragile and weaker skin Vision problems Decreased night vision (onset may be sudden) Conjunctivitis (pink eye) Contact lens intolerance Dry mucous membranes (dry nose, lungs, bladder, anus) Peeling skin on palms/soles Nail changes Nosebleeds Photosensitivity (sensitivity to light) Elevated triglycerides in the blood Elevated liver enzymes (indicating liver damage) Tinnitus (ringing in ears or buzzing in ears) Joint pain and muscle pain Back pain Depression [3] So sex is a more natural, healthier alternative, and like any other form of medicaton, when bad things happen, yo may treat them as well. I have as of yet to see someone tell someoe else to live with liver damage just because they took lots of medication, pregnancy before t time the fetus can feel pain is no different. Miscarriage and abortion are not the same thing at all, that being said, I'm sorry that that happened. This is purely a tip to my opponent. Personal experiences are not weighed as much as reliable, documented sources, because 1) it can be unproven 2) it is an issolated event that may very well be uncommon 3) it often does not weigh in person aspects such as religion, race, geographical area, gender, and sheer chance. If I told you that my house caught on fire because a pheonix came in, set it on fire, and flew away, you would likely 1) see how likely that is to be true 2) be skeptical 3) ask for further proof etc. One personal experience means very little. An example I could give is I am the oldest of 5 children. My mother smoked hthrough her pregnancy with me, but not any of the others. I am the only one without asthma. (two of the others have more serious lung damage, while I was born 100% healthy. ) Another is that my aunt would have died in a car accidenct had she been wearing a seat belt. Although these cases can happen, that does not make them at all normal, and you will still see many people advocating for laws requiring seat belts being worn, or abti-smoking laws. While anecondal evidence may give in a "human" factor, it must also be presented with facts, and statistics, such as "Although I am lactose intolerant, and cannot drink milk, I understand that for the maority of people, it is the way they obtain calcium. There are alternatives people may use if they dislike milk, or would like to add variety, these are what I use, and their calcuim is compared to that in milk for reference. " With all that being said, I would like to thank my opponent for this debate. I believe it is the first abortion debate I have had, since I have become pro-abortion rights. I hope we both learned from each other. [1] . http://www.ageofconsent.us... [2] . http://www.jewfaq.org... [3] . http://www.accutanesideeffects.net...
