Abortion should be Illegal in cases that do not threaten the life of the mother/baby

Thanks to my opponent for the argument. REBUTTALS: 1) By that logic, yes, a woman has the right to "throw a fetus out of her." Unfortunately, that logic isn't sound. If we have full body autonomy and are allowed to do whatever with the bodies we own, then a pregnant woman who does not wish to abort can go out drinking every night, smoke, do drugs, etc. because it is her body. If anyone can do whatever they want with their body they could abort at any stage of a pregnancy, because the baby is always part of their body until it is born. They could refuse to take children to the doctor because they don't wish to use their bodies to drive. They could refuse to buy their children food. This also allows for public indecency, such as public sex or masturbation, because they can do whatever they want with their bodies [1]. Almost all things can be argued under the "everyone owns themselves" argument, but it doesn't mean they are morally permissible or law-abiding. In rebuttal to c2: p1. Woman is consciously choosing to remove fetus from womb p2. This action will unequivocally subsequently cause death of fetus c1. Woman is killing fetus Further rebuttals: 2) This logic by my opponent is also flawed. Theft requires making a conscious decision to steal. The fetus is not making a conscious decision but rather thriving from natural order. It cannot choose not to take the food. It does not choose TO take the food. It is therefore not operating of its own free will or consciousness to "steal" the food, and should not be punished. 3) In rebuttal to this, I'll give an analogy p1. Widespread murder reduces the number of people p2. The US has a lot of unemployed people c1. By allowing murder, we'd be decreasing the amount of unemployment Etc. 4) By this logic: p1. Heroin is illegal p1.1. People buy and take heroin anyway c1 (p1 + p1.1) Some of these people get caught by police and put in prison p2. These people don't want to go to prison c2 (p1 + p2) The illegalization of heroin is harming people You could plug in murder, prostitution, any number of illegal drugs, rape, etc. into this logic and it "works". "If my opponent's logic is valid in all of these situations, we would need to overturn a LOT of US Laws in order to ban abortion. These laws are beneficial to our nation. PART II. My opponent here basically concedes that adoption is a better alternative to abortion. He claims that causing more health problems and being more expensive is a detriment to women. Therefore, by this logic, adoption is much better than abortion, as it causes far less health problems and is cheaper. If adoption was encouraged and abortion illegalized, sure, some people would still get abortions. This is the same as some people who murder, rape, steal, etc. But it would be beneficial to illegalize abortion, saving lives and money. Conclusion My opponent seems to want to run around in a lawless country. Laws are put in place so that harm is not caused to the people. Abortion causes harm to the lives of babies, as well as harm to mothers oftentimes. Adoption does not. Therefore, to protect people and their rights, abortion should be illegal.
