Abortion should be illegal

but I wanna ask my oponent: it is the first debate of yours, seems u r new, why and how you challenged me to this debate? how you knew that I am PROabortion? I very doubt that you are new member here. the subject is: "abortion should be illegal. " My case is against it, it should not be illegal, it should be legal. during the debate, when I am going to refer to women who want abortion I am going to use "we". I am so lazy but for this challenge I will try to avoid lazynesssince there is no a rule which ban me from setting arguement in this round, I am going to start from now on. p. s: english is not my first language and I am not so good at it, I may make mistake when I use words. MY CASE:in the opening, he says {Abortion results in the death of an innocent human being and cannot be justified. As such it should be made illegal} which I take as he is against abortion in all cases becasue he didnt give any exception criterias. My position is "Abortion should be legal"more than that, I support: "it should be allowed at least under some conditions and some situations as well. "REBUTTAL:my opponent said: {Abortion results in the death of an innocent human being and cannot be justified}response: by saying this, does my opponent claim that fetus=human being? I would kindly want to ask him to provide us scientific evidence/proof for fetus being=human being. Burden of proof is on him about this. I dont think that fetus=human, however I am going to provide my arguements about fetus=/=human just a little later, now I am going to refure my opponent IN CASE fetus=human being. "even if" or/and "in case" Fetus=human, it is still justice for women to have abortion. antiabortionists claim that: "by having abortion you are KILLING the baby/human/fetus". first thing I am going to say about this is: we are not killing the baby nor the human, pregnant women help that fetus/baby/human to survive, at the time we have abortion we stop the help given by us, so we are not killing a baby/human/fetus. we are just stopping the help we give to them, after this it dies or it takes damages that is not our problem. as a person, we have right not to help others and you dont have right to force us to help others. so, even if the fetus=human, it can still be justified sicne we have right NOT to help others. does not "not allowing women to stop the help she gives" mean to force her to do something which she does not want to do? HUman rights Article 5. No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment[1] when we look at dictionary, it says that one of the meanings of torture is: To bring great physical or mental pain upon (another)[2]considering "no one shall be subjected to tortue or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment", we cant force woman to carry that baby nor to do something. at the same time, HUman rights decleration Article 3. Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person. [1] so, everyone has the right to "LIBERTY. " not allowing women not to carry the baby violates his liberty. (my opponent may say everyone has the right to life too I ask him: to prove that fetus is human. even if he can, I have showed above that it is still right of woman. )considering we have right not to help others, it can be justified and should not be made illegal. we can not force somebody to help somebody. MY ARGUEMENTS ABOUT: ABORTION SHOULD BE LEGAL at least UNDER THESE CONDITIONS:1. ABORTION SHOULD BE ALLOWED AT LEAST IN THE EARLY STAGES OF PREGNANCY:when we eat or break an egg of a hen or crocodile, it does not mean that we have killed a chicken or a crocodile. similarly, early stages of pregnancy is a fertilised egg and it does not mean that we have killed a human. as long as the fetus is not conscious yet, I would want to say we have to allow mother to have abortion. Most abortions (88%) are obtained in the first trimester of pregnancy. In fact, over half of all abortions are obtained within the first 8 weeks. [5]2. IF A WOMAN IS RAPED/unintended pregnancy:I think, it makes no sense to force woman to help to the child of his rapist to survive, do you think that it makes sense? Many of the youngest women in this group (70% of those age 13 or under) report having had sex forced on them. [4]Each year, almost half of all pregnancies among American women are unintended. [5]3. if the girl is not ready:imagine a girl at 14, she had sex for the first time and became pregnant, after 9 months, the maximum age she can be is 15, a girl at 15 can be not ready for motherhood. not just a girl at 14, maybe a girl at 25 who studies at university and works for part time, she can be not ready to carry the baby and then become a mother. even if the government is to ban abortion, I think in this case we need to allow women to have. Many of the youngest women in this group (70% of those age 13 or under) report having had sex forced on them. [4]Women between the ages of 15 and 19 account for about 19% of all abortions; women 20 to 24 account for another 33%; and about 25% of abortions are obtained by women who are 30 or older. [5]4. INSUFFICIENCY OF FINANCIAL PLIGHT:imagine, I get married and have sex with my wife, she became pregnant and I got expelled from my job, we are ppor now, if we have child: she/he may be suffering from hunger/starvation. Of the women obtaining abortions in 2000: 57% percent were low-income. [5]5. SURPRISES OF people:in case a girl has sex with her BF/anybody and becomes pregnant, there are so many societies in the world who see it as humiliation, it is humiliation according to their traditions, relatives and family of a girl will kill her if they know that she is pregnant without being married, the government is to protect the person, so in this case in order to save girl, the government needs to allow her to have abortion.6. HEALTH OR MEDICAL PROBLEMS:today, science is able to know before birth whether child will have a disease or a huge illness, in case the parents are warned that their children will suffer from a huge illness, then I think the government needs to allow woman to abort her child, if the government does not allow her then the child will be born and suffer from illness, not only this parents will have difficulties to look after that child. it will have many problems starting from: financial problem, health problem, time problem, problem inside the family and it goes on. ONE MORE ARGUEMENT:prohibiting abortion means not allowing woman to have her right, it means to force woman to help to another THING/person. now, let me give you example:imagine a pregnant woman, when she has an abortion she does not kill the baby, she provides baby with the needs he/she needs to survive, and when she has an abortion she stops providing and stopping providing is her right. she is providing baby, and at any time, she may stop providing, it is her right. abortion means providing baby, if I provide somebody with the needs of him, I can stop providing at any time, can not I? is not it my right? it is like this. imagine I am a rich man, we live in the same street. you have an illness, and just I have a financial status which can pay your hospital bills and your medicines. you need a treatment for 3 months, you came to me and say: Artur, you are a rich man, I have an illness, I need treatment, please provide me with the money needs for medicines. and I ask you: how much do you need. you answer: 560 000 dollars for this month, I gave you this moneym and then you had a chance to survive and now you are alive, but second month comes and you still need money, you come to me and ask:-Artur, you are a rich man, without your help I have no chance to survive, please give me 560 000 which supplies all the money I need for the treatment of this month, if you dont provide me with the money I need, then I can not survive. at the moment, do I have a right not to give you money? or is it rule for me to give you my money so that you can survive? women can also stop the help they give to the fetus inside them. if the government or people can force woman to help to the baby, then the government needs to set a new rule which forces rich people to help to the poor people. as rich people have right not to help others, women also have right not to help the fetus inside her or any person. ADVANTAGE OF MAKING ABORTION LEGAL:1. IF THE GOVERNment bans the abortion then there will be some women and doctors who will do it secretly, without the hospital or standart medical instructions, it will cause corruoption to develop and women to have ilnesses as well.2. if the government makes this legal, then it will bring income to both government or private hospitals. now, when I searched about the income of abortion I saw:In general, though, women getting an abortion between six and ten weeks' gestation can expect to pay about $350 at an abortion clinic and $500 at a physician's office. Providing abortions later in pregnancy is somewhat more complicated, and is usually more expensive. For example, at 16 weeks gestation, abortion clinics generally charge around $650 and physicians' offices generally charge around $700. After the 20th week, the cost rises to above $1,000.2 [3] if government makes abortion illegal, these money will be contribution to the development of corruption, let this money go to the government/hospitals instead of going the doctors who do it illegally and unsafely. QUESTION TO OPPONENT:since he made just one arguement in his opening statement, I ask him to come with proof that fetus is equal to human. I hope he will come with that. I wish you good luck.
