abortion must be free in every country

Introduction Thank you for your response. Now, most of my opponent’s arguments rested on the fallacy that unalienable rights are subjective, and that since we as a people have no right (?) to force laws among other people then women still retain the freedom to have an abortion, whether that choice is moral or immoral. Since my opponent also seems to be confused about what an abortion is, I will provide them a definition. Abortion - the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy. This means the life itself is ended. My opponent seems to think that you can have an abortion and still allow the child to live. I will separate my overall argument against abortion into three arguments clearing up my opponent’s misconceptions. These will be: Unalienable Rights This section will explain the objectivity of unalienable rights, and how unalienable rights don’t cease to exist, but instead always exist, and can be chosen to be ignored. Abortion Should Be Illegal because it Violates the Unalienable Right to Life I will reiterate my past arguments here. Women Have The Moral Obligation to Provide for an Unborn Child This section will finally focus on how humans have a moral obligation to provide for those who have absolute dependency on you in order to fully respect our human dignity and the right to life. I will also argue that women also only have to provide for a temporary period of time, therefore enforcing their moral obligation to carry the child. I will not be directly contending to my opponent’s arguments, rather the arguments I present will contend to them. Unalienable Rights Unalienable Rights - “incapable of being alienated, that is, sold and transferred. You can not surrender, sell or transfer unalienable rights, they are a gift from the creator to the individual and can not under any circumstances be surrendered or taken. All individual's have unalienable rights.” (1) “We hold these truths to be self-evident, 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. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.” - Declaration of Independence Unalienable rights, as shown above from a paragraph taken from the Declaration of Independence, are inherent among humans, and rather them being given or taken away, they have always existed from the moment each individual was created. The laws of the government exist to respect these unalienable rights. The most important of these rights is the right to life, for all other rights transcend from this. It has already been shown that life begins at conception, and seeing that true the right to life has been granted to the unborn child. The government fails in it’s duty to respect the most important of unalienable rights, and since the government’s duty is to uphold these rights, the government should therefore make abortion illegal. Abortion Should Be Illegal because it Violates the Unalienable Right to Life The government makes laws in order to ultimately protect unalienable rights and to lead an efficient society, even when it takes away an individual’s freedom. Here’s an example: We have the unalienable right to life. A man has the desire to murder another man. This conflicts with the right to life. Therefore murder is illegal. In the same: We have the unalienable right to life. A woman has the desire to abort her child. This conflicts with the right to life. Therefore abortion should be illegal. In both cases, the person who desires to take the life of another is denied because they conflict with our unalienable rights. The only time where someone forfeits these unalienable rights is when they have done a crime against the society. Since unborn children are of absolute innocence, they have not forfeited these rights and still retain them all. Women Have The Moral Obligation to Carry an Unborn Child Women are morally obligated to provide for a child during pregnancy for the following reasons: Absolute Dependency One of these reasons is that the child has absolute dependency on the mother. This is unlike the stories my opponent provided where a man chooses to be dependent on one person, however they do not have full dependency on that person. A fetus however, does have full dependency on the mother to live. Since it is our duty as a whole to hold up unalienable rights, and the very life of the human being in the womb has full dependency on the mother, then the mother has a moral duty to carry the child. Temporary Provision The mother does not have to provide for the child for a very prolonged time. Seeing that the mother only has to carry the child for a certain amount of time, and then the child may be given up for adoption ect. it would be absolutely unnecessary to terminate the unborn child’s life. The ease of the mother is not to be granted over the valuable life of a human being. Abortion is Immoral My arguments still stand unrefuted under this section. My opponent’s only argument against it is that no one should have to obey my moral standards, so screw you I get to do whatever I want. By claiming this he wishes to live in a world of hypocrisy, immorality, selfishness, and ultimately in a world that completely undermines our most basic human rights. How did I come to this conclusion? My arguments on the immorality of abortion and how it undermines our human rights have been completely sound and instead of my arguments being questioned my opponent instead chose to argue that no one must obey another’s moral standards. Conclusion To take the child’s life is to value the ease of your own life over the unalienable rights of the unborn child. Since it is the duty of the government to create laws that protect our unalienable rights, and it is the moral obligation of human beings as a whole to protect unalienable rights, I declare that abortion should therefore be illegal.
