Abortion is murder and wrong

Why does the woman bear all of the responsibility? The rapist(man) should bear all of the burden, obviously he did not intend to have a child with this woman he raped. If the woman does not want the child, she will have an abortion. This fetus is the result of the rape. I will point out your first paragraph is a very flawed logic. You are saying that it would be wrong to stop a rape if you saw one, because you are killing the potential baby. Further this implies that there is nothing wrong with men raping women, as they are just trying to create babies, and in not doing so, they would be killing babies. I will state again, abortion is a safe procedure. Those 'studies' were propaganda used by anti-abortion groups. To say that an abortion would put you at a higher risk for cancer is false. An abortion can cause some of these complications. "many women" do not experience them. That was phrased as if the majority experience depression or suicidal thoughts. The probability is very rare. In fact, these results from pregnancy are much more prevalent, by about 13 times as much. The risk of death in abortion is about 1 in 160,000, compared to the risk of death in childbirth which is 13.3 in 100,000. " It also shows that the mother starts to neglect or abuse their child due to depression and other mental issues " This is obviously false. There are no studies on this. I'm not sure what this is actually saying. Is it saying that every women than has an abortion beats their child? Anyway, I'll just disregard that. "Then, you said that your "final rebuttal" was that there is no proof that there is a god and thus, you are not disobeying anyone. This would be shown in a different argument that we can make later, but I believe there is a God. Read the Bible. And the things you are doing to disobey him are that you are murdering and you are destroying the plan God already had made for the child that you just killed. " There is no proof that your god exists. Don't expect your personal religious beliefs to have any merit in a factual debate. Again, you are using circular reasoning, and argument from authority. Although, it is ultimately irrelevant. First of all, please do not falsely quote the Declaration of Independence, " Allowing abortion directly contradicts the Founding Fathers' intentions for an inalienable right to life in this country." is mentioned nowhere in the Declaration of Independence. Now, "In "the Declaration of Independence...states that "[All] men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." This obviously does not apply to a fetus, which does not exist as a person. It has not been 'created' yet. Also, I would love to see a fetus pursue happiness. The purpose of an abortion is not to kill the fetus. The purpose is to remove the fetus from the woman's body. Having said that, this inevitably leads to death, as the fetus cannot survive outside of the woman's body;thus it was a part of her body. "Born babies" or simply 'babies' are people, it obviously wouldn't be right to kill a person. Having gave birth to the child and keeping it however;the mother is actually assuming responsibility for the child, as opposed to an abortion. Con did not present any new arguments, nor did Con disprove my arguments or my rebuttals. Con continues to use circular reasoning as well as logical fallacies. Con's staple arguments seem to be opinion based. I will assume the rest of the debate will continue as this.
