Abortion After Conception Should Be Illegal

It seems as if the negative did not wish to propose any points of his own. So, I suppose all I have to do is defend my own position. Rebuttal One: No, This is not what I'm saying. I am saying that the mother acknowledged the possibility of pregnancy when she had sexual intercourse. I did not infer that the mother is simply a utility to keep the fetus alive. I asserted that the mother autonomously chose to have sex, Knowing there was indeed a risk of pregnancy. I'm arguing on the premise of autonomy and responsibility. She needs to be responsible for the life she chose to create through sexual intercourse, Even if pregnancy was not the desired result. Of course people should not give up their kidneys against their choice to a random person. That would go against autonomy. If we go off of your analogy, it would be like someone agreed to be a kidney donor. It would make no sense for someone to be angry if their kidney was extracted when they signed the form and knew what could happen. Since your analogy does not hold up to critical thinking, It will be thrown out. Rebuttal Two:I addressed that the fetus cannot make a choice. Therefore, Since the fetus cannot make his/her own decision and is a separate human life, The mother cannot decide whether it wants to live or die. I argue that the mother acknowledged the risk of her having to nourish the child through the act of sexual intercourse. Therefore, She cannot go back on her autonomous decision because a human life is being directly effected. The fetus would die because the mother insisted the fetus be removed through medically assisted means which denotes premeditation and the drive to end a human life. I will address the definition you used. Murder: the crime of unlawfully killing a person especially with malice aforethought (1)Malice: desire to cause pain, Injury, Or distress to another (2)Aforethought: previously in mind: premeditated, Deliberate (3)A mother who gets an abortion shows malice through the desire to injure the fetus beyond recovery to extract it from her body to end its life. The mother shows aforethought since naturally, She would need to schedule the abortion and then go to the medical facility to obtain an abortion. Since this debate is about legality, We go on the premise why abortion should be illegal because I am affirmative and the burden of proof is on me. Therefore, Since a mother wishing to abort her child is showing malice and aforethought, Abortion is indeed murder. The fetus died because his/her mother made the conscious choice to disallow sustenance to be delivered to the fetus by means of early dejection and extraction from the womb. "even I would concede that not all methods are moral. "MY OPPONENT HAS CONCEEDED THAT SOME ABORTION METHODS ARE IMMORAL! Rebuttal 3: I do not see how this is an argument for the mercy killing of a fetus through mercy killing. However, I will address that it is up to the child if he likes or dislikes the living conditions he is born into. If he likes to live in rough parts of town where he can do devious things, That's what he likes. If he likes living in an affluent neighborhood with many different entertainment objects, That could be what he likes too. What I am arguing here is that the baby should have the choice about what to do with the life is has been given. If it wishes to live with his adoptive family, He should have the right to do so. It's his choice, And his choice is autonomous. He has the right to decide if he wants to live at all wherever he is in life. The mother cannot make that decision for him. Rebuttal 4:Having sex does establish that the mother acknowledges that a living human can result from her choice to establish sexual contact. She has sex knowing the risk. This denotes responsibility, As once she is pregnant, She is no longer effecting her own life, But another's life as well. The mother was a party to the agreement by having sex. The fetus was conceived and is a human with its own DNA. Therefore, The mother agrees to protecting the fetus inside of her by having sexual intercourse and conceiving said child. No, That would be someone invading private property with the intent of malice and illegal behavior. If someone broke into your house, You have the right to defend yourself and your belongings since the thief wishes to cause you and your property harm. The fetus seeks nourishment and the ability to live which spawned from the mother's conscious choice to have sexual intercourse with a man. The fetus does not wish to cause harm; nor does it wishes to "invade" her body as it was the mother's autonomous choice to let herself have sex with the man and have the possibility of his sperm coming into her body. Not to mention, A house is an inanimate object. So, Your example, Again, Does not hold up against critical thinking. Her womb is her womb, But the fetus is a life which she took on the responsibility to care for when she made the autonomous decision to have sex. You cannot disagree that the woman knew that pregnancy was a risk. Therefore, Since she knew it was a risk, She knew that there was a chance that she would have to use her body to nourish and protect the life she created with a man. This life is separate and unique from her, Containing its own DNA and special chromosomes. Therefore, I argue on the notion of that autonomous choice and the notion of responsibility that she cannot end the life of a fetus because of convenience to the mother. As I said before, Murder for convenience is still murder. Rebuttal 5:As you said before, Some abortion methods are immoral. Abortion for the use of contraception is immoral and unethical due to the mother ending the life of a fetus simply because she did have the responsibility to practice safe sex or abstinence. This denotes that the mother views abortion as a contraceptive, And not a last resort. This shows a complete disrespect for human life and is entirely unethical. Multiple homicides make the deaths more severe, Which shows why this should not be ignored. It is her womb, But the fetus is a life. You seem to acknowledge it is. Therefore, Killing multiple lives due to irresponsibility is unethical. MY OPPONENT CONCEEDS THAT ABORTION CAN BE USED AS BIRTH CONTROL! Rebuttal 6:I did not mean "forced" as misinformation. I meant forced as a way to emphasize the point that women who obtain an abortion can feel dramatic draw backs which could jeopardize their well-being mentally and physicallyCertain things which pose a threat to the morals and health of our citizens in the U. S. A. Are illegal. For instance, Many illicit drugs are illegal because it hurts our people when they use them. Suicide is often discouraged, With police going far enough to try to talk people who jump off of buildings out of suicide and provide public mental health facilities for the insane. Prostitution is illegal because the prostitutes can often be exploited, Opens the gateway to illegal prostitution, And jeopardizes the morals of the country. The point of this case is that abortion does not only harm the fetus, It harms the mother exponentially. Therefore, The country has a duty to disallow the behaviors which pose such practical and ethical problems. MY OPPONENT HAS CONCEEDED THAT ABORTION CAN CAUSE SEVERE HEALTH PROBLEMS! Since you have conceded this point, You cannot argue for the legality of something which causes so much physical harm and ethical problems. Issues which invoke actions which harm the populace and bring about moral dilemmas are illegal. Therefore, Since you agree that some abortions can be immortal and that abortion can cause severe health problems, It should be made illegal due to the effects it has on the populationIn Conclusion:My opponent has conceded many vital points in my argument in favor of my case. Abortion is murder and unethical. Abortion should be illegal due to the effects it has on the population. Thank you! 1. Https://www. Merriam-webster. Com/dictionary/murder2. Https://www.
