Abortion is Generally Immoral.

I thank Con for his rebuttal and will now address his concerns.Con disagrees with my 1st and 4th premise, but disagreeing with me does not make me wrong and him correct.I have provided evidence that life begins at fertilization. To re-cap, creatures reproduce after their own kind: dogs have dogs, cats have cats, and humans have humans. Also, the preborn have human DNA. Biologically, it is indefensible that the preborn are anything other than human and Con did not prove that they are not human. In fact, Con seems to be committing an argument from ignorance fallacy. We allegedly don't know what it is so we can't prove it's human.I am not trying to re-define what human is. First, since Con has not offered a definition of human then my definition of human stands. Second, biologically it is human life in the womb, at all stages of development from fertilization to post-birth and beyond.I mentioned those philosophers to show that the more sophisticated pro-choice philosophers agree that the preborn are fully human because they tackle the issue from a more sophisticated angle. However, I did show that embryologists know that the preborn are human. This is not a fallacy by appealing to authorities who are the experts. That would be like saying it's an appeal to authority fallacy by trying to prove survival of the fittest by quoting Charles Darwin. Con has not supplied any embryologists who would disagree on the matter.Con claims that as an embryo is "not a human being, it has no human rights." But this is clearly false. Wanted embryos and fetuses have human rights. For example, doctors will operate on a preborn child in the womb to correct certain ailments like spina bifida. Also, if a pregnant woman who wanted her unborn child is murdered and the child dies, the murderer is charged with two counts of murder (a recent example of this was the Scott Peterson trial).As for Con's contention:Why is it that the preborn child suddenly gains value once the brain develops? Why not when the heart develops, which starts pumping at the fourth week? [1] Why at week seven, when the brain develops? [2] In fact, this contradicts Con's argument that embryos are not human because the brain develops at seven weeks, yet an embryo is not a fetus until after the ninth week. [3] If an embryo is not a human, then it would not be a human when it develops a brain, either.Additionally, why when a brain develops? Con has not indicated why the embryo should suddenly be considered human when the brain develops.Con can't comprehend why people think early term abortions are equivalent to killing an infant, but I would imagine that Con is not willing to keep an open mind regarding his arguments. I have already explained why killing an embryo is morally equivalent to killing an infant. If he does not understand it is because he does not wish to, not because he is incapable of understanding.From fertilization, we are human. Con and I were both once a zygote, we were both once an embryo, we were both once a fetus. It is simply incorrect to state that we were once non-human and them at some arbitrary point we suddenly became a human fetus, or we suddenly became human. In fact, a human comes into existence once the sperm meets the egg, and develops into a zygote, which develops into an embryo, which develops into a fetus, which develops into a newborn/toddler, and so on.However, it would be incorrect to say that we were both once a sperm or once an ovum. By saying that someone kills "possible children" when he masturbates, now Con is committing the fallacy of redefinition. Sperm are not possible anything, they are sperm. The only time a child is conceived is when a sperm meets an egg, and then a new, living, unique human is created.Con has not refuted any of my premises, therefore I extend my arguments into the next round. Con has not supplied an alternate definition for human, so my definition stands. Additionally, his own stance on the matter is contradictory. It seems quite evident a vote for Pro is in order.I look forward to Con's response.[1] http://www.mayoclinic.com...;[2] http://www.mayoclinic.com...;[3] http://www.americanpregnancy.org...;
