Abortion

Rubttle 1: My opponent basically says that the women has the right to manage her own body, and since the baby or fetus is in the mother then the mother has control over that babie's life. This is bad logic. If I were to use this same logic then I would be able to shoot my 1-year old, just because it is in my house and I don't want it there. If I were to do this I would be arrested and most likely even be put to death for it. So is the case of a fetus in a woman, the woman may have control over here own body but she has no control over the body of a living breathing human being. Rebuttle 2: Under the current laws abortion is legal, therefore the fetus has no rights. The purpose of this debate is to determine whether a women should be allowed to get a abortion or not. So I am arguing that the law should be changed. The fetus is a human being that lives in the U.S. and therefore should have rights. The baby/fetus should have the right to live. Also, my opponent asks what rights are pro-life people being denied? The we are not arguing for our rights because we are not as selfish as pro-choice people, we are arguing for the babie's rights. As for the mother's rights, she has the right to put that baby up for adoption. Rebuttle 3: My opponent again uses bad logic. He says we should not deny a woman the choice to kill her baby. If this true then the same example I gave in my first rebuttle can also be used here. A woman does not deserve the right to kill a baby, whether the baby is in or out of the woman's body is irelevant the woman has no control over the babie's life. Rebuttle 4: MY opponent bases this contention on the fact that the Earth could be over populated. My answer to this is basically China's answer rather then killing people in this case a fetus, we should just pass laws saying how many babies each woman can have. This will regulate the number of babies being born and stop over population. Contention 1: All throughout my opponents speech about women's rights, I was thinking what about the babie's rights. The baby from the time of conseption is a human being. The human fetus is technically in the U.S. which guarrantees rights to children. Even though the baby is living inside the woman, it is no diferent then the baby living in a house, the baby is still a baby. I have already given a example concerning the fact women may have control over there bodies, but they have no control over the bodies of others including the babie's. Contention 2: My opponent and many other pro-choice people do not understand something. This that we live in a civilized society. A civilized socirty can not be civilized if it allows another human being to kill another human being without punishment. Abortion is the act of killing another human being whether you call it a fetus, baby, or child it is still a human being that has done nothing to deserve to die. Contention 3: Abortion should not be legal also because there are other alternatives. Adoption is the best alternative. Rather then kill the fetus/baby the mother can just simpley give the baby away and she no longer has to deal with the problem. With 1.5 million American families wanting to adopt a child, there is no such thing as a unwanted child. Contention 4: Abortion should not be legal because it comes with a long list of health hazards to the mother's health. These things are: - Blocked fallopian tubes - Weakened Cervix - Uterine scarring - damage to the woman's reproductive system may make her unable to conceive in the future. - Face the increase in the probability of an increase in tubal babies. - hysterectomies -miscariages -still birth - pre mature births - increases the chances of breast, uterine, and cerrical cancer. - increases psychological pain and stress The purpose of laws are to pretect the people. Abortion however, hurts the fetus and the mother. So, in order to save the mother and the fetus from the mother abortion should be outlawed. Contention 5: Abortions are funded by tax dollars. Many people who pay good money so tht the state cn do it's job are against abortion. So is it right to spend peoples moneys on something they are totally against? Most would say no it isn't right. In conclusion, Women should not have the right to harm another individual. Abortion is unneccessary since the woman can just put her baby up for adoption. Abortion not only harms another human being, but also harms the mother. Abortion should be outlawed. Vote Con! http://www.buzzle.com...
