Abortion

My opponent has offered specific examples of abortion. Even though I was actually anticipating on the idea of medical abortion, I will argue against the evidence anyway. I will begin by arguing against "Abortions inflicted on unwilling people". Now, this technically can be classified as abortion. On the other hand, it could be classified as an act of assault as well. "Assault" can be performed by anyone as well as affecting anyone. There are many cases that are classified assault besides this. So this is not uncommon. "There is something inherently immoral in the act of walking up to a pregnant woman and kicking in her stomach such that she miscarries. Though this is a form of abortion, I argue that it should in no way be supported." In these cases, clearly the woman is unwilling to have an abortion anyway. So she does not intend on having an abortion. This is clearly an act of assault performed by the person who kicks her in the stomach. Immoral: -not in conformity with accepted principles of right and wrong behavior -wicked -not in conformity with the accepted standards of proper sexual behavior; unchaste; lewd (may I also note that many compare morality with Christianity as well as many other religious beliefs involving Christ) I care to dispute the fact that abortion is immoral. Many would say that abortion is immoral because it violates the Bible or it is murder. First of all, the Bible does mention many other things that should not be done besides murder. These would be called "sins". The Bible states that shaving your beard is immoral or is a sin. So, that strikes against everyman who does shave. I dispute this as well. "not in conformity with accepted principles of right and wrong behavior" What people think is right and wrong is all conceived by their own understanding. People all have their own idea of what is right or wrong and many care to argue their own opinions. For example this debate, I argue abortion is right and my opponent argues it is wrong. All made up of our own opinions. Some people feel vigilantism is right, others state it is wrong. May I remind the audience and my opponent that there are those who feel murder is right like for example terrorism in the Middle East. They thought 9/11 was justified. Clearly it was not but their own opinions caused the death toll of thousands of innocent lives. I now argue situations that damage many lives of women. For example rape. Many young women get raped every year as well as some young men. Women end up being pregnant unwillingly. Is it not fair for these people to have their entire life ruined when they can simply stop it. Pregnant teenagers "usually" result in no college, minimum wage, and no father to even care for the child. These situations affect the woman and child. The child was brought into a life where he/she has an irresponsible mother and father, no school or money, not even given the chance to be brought into a desirable life. This could be avoided through medical abortion when the child is not even anything but a mere cell. Teenagers who all share irresponsibility do not deserve to have many good opportunities taken away. Yes, they were very idiotic for being so irresponsible for having unprotected sex when unprepared for having a child. But it makes the situation much worse when the child is brought into the world. It is not fair for the teenager to have opportunities taken away and not fair for the child to be brought into the world with no one responsible enough to take care of him or her. These also goes for all women in general.
