abortion

Since my opponent forfeits this around, I will add another possible contention, and will follow that up with how we can possibly reduce the need for the act of abortion.I have argued that sustainability has been the number one reason for most of human existence, and as I stated before, for most of that time the process of abortion was not understood, and instead infanticide was the typical course taken. [1] And, it is still a human rights issue today, estimated to be 1 in 3000-5000 children of all ages, and 2.1 per 100,000 newborns per year. [2] This leads me to the follow argument.Contentions 5: access to abortion reduces human right violations1. People will commit infanticide, which is a human rights violation.2. Legal access to abortion contributes to a large reduction in infanticide. [3]3. Thus, safe access to abortion can reduce human right’s violations.Conclusion: Abortion is favoredConclusion elaborated on: people will commit infanticide for a number of reasons: including, but not limited to their ability care for the child, want of the child, or forced participation with group etc… Human rights are granted to a person upon birth according to international law [4]; therefore once a child is born and infanticide is committed, this is a violation of that child’s human rights. Abortion helps reduce the actions of infanticide, by giving the parent control over their reproductive system and eliminate the suffering destined for the born child.************************************************************************************The following are some substantiated criteria in which we are able to reduce the use of abortion, and some that are possible sources for reductions. 1. Strongly implementing contraception programs alone can dramatically reduce abortion rates. [5]2. Available safe access to highly regulated abortion programs (with evaluations and up-to-date educational programs), can even reduce abortions. [6] 3. Early sex education, people who learn about sex earlier are less likely to have sex [7], thus reducing the propensity for a situation that might lead to an abortion.4. The strengthening of gender equality in education, workplace / government, and home produces opportunity for women to support a pregnancy and have a more stable future for rearing the child, reducing an abortion that otherwise might have taken place(despite any other abortion done prior or after planned pregnancy). [8] By reducing some of the reasons women give for having an abortion, will in-turn reduce some of the abortion that might have otherwise taken place. 5. Mandatory waiting periods and parental consent laws, by making unprotected sex acknowledged problem to avoid, may have effects that reduce risky sexual behavior of teens which can continue into adulthood. [9]6. Improved contraceptive, why it is not well studied, many do express that they don’t use condoms because it reduces the pleasure. But, not only improved pleasure but less allergenic. This is possibly a big potential for a reduction in unplanned pregnancies and thus a possible reduction in abortions: [10] [11]• 22% stated their partner did not want to use contraception.• 16% cited side effects.7. Improved ovulating detection technology and cheap reproductive screening for female and male. Having it strongly implement in social and sex education programs, could possibly reduce the reasons given for an unintended pregnancy, thus a possible reduction is the number of potential abortions: [11]• 33% felt they could not get pregnant at the time of conception. • 10% felt they or their partner were sterile. Final StatementI think I have made some solid arguments in favor of abortion, and responded to my opponent with respect, a willingness to review, learn, and argue accordingly based on what could be established, and/or reasonably argued.In total, I made 5 contentions:1) Importance of group sustainability2) Human rights3) Societal and individual health4) Reduction in criminal behavior5) Access to abortion reduces infantacide, a human rights violationsPlease take time to review each of my contention from the beginning and attempt to follow them through the rounds, and I hope those who read the debate, enjoyed it, and also find my arguments more convincing. Thank you :)I also, would like to thank my opponent Zezima.Sources[1] Harris, Marvin (1977). Cannibals and Kings: The Origins of Cultures.
