Abortion Should Be Abolished

Okay. As you've probably guessed, I'm American, and a Christian, however, I will not use that in my facts. "Rape is legislated against and I don't think there is a collective will in the U.S.A to amend this legislation. Your rape argument is clever but does not directly address the point I was making. There will always be women who wish to have an abortion. Irish women would travel to the U.K. U.S women would inevitably seek alternative solutions too. Would you seek to impose the death penalty for foetal murder?" Law is not created from the majority of people saying so. It comes from the basis of negative-impacts. However, how that law is PASSED depends on the people. I think you might be getting those two different processes mixed up. About women who wish to have an abortion, it is true, but that doesn't mean we should keep it. First of all, if the law was passed in Britain or America, it would be the first big move on abortion, so yes, they would travel to other countries. However, the influence of these major countries would slowly spread, and abortion would most likely be outlawed in most places. Then, because abortion is no longer an option, humanity would find alternative motives and grow. And this is just me talking. It happened when slavery was abolished. Slowly, the world got rid of slaves, and because there were no slaves to work, the Agricultural Revolution began, starting in turn the Industrial Revolution. I do believe that there would be a generation or two where women would seek to have illegal abortions, but eventually, that would more or less stop entirely. "human beings are selfish and selective in their regard for life" I didn't respond to this at first because I personally thought it was pointless. Yes, human beings are naturally selfish and selective, but that doesn't mean we should act on that and kill our unborn child. Again, I could say the same thing about rape or murder. It doesn't matter whether it is natural, but whether it has negative impacts. "How do you regard deaths caused by U.S. military action? Do you regard the deaths of supposed terrorists as murder? And what about all the incidental civilian deaths, 3500 in Afghanistan alone in 2017. There can be no room for hypocrisy in an anti-abortion argument." First of all, may I say that fetus's are the most innocent ones among us, as I said last time. Therefore, you cannot compare it to death sentences, like the Left loves to do so much. And about the innocents, I still view that as unjust and a sad ending to a life. But, you must remember that it is a war, and the soldiers do not personally go to Afghanistan to kill innocents. They must take precautions, and it is a shame that these people die because of it. In other words, these innocents were killed for the safety of the American people, which is the U.S.'s military main job, and is more or less unavoidable. If it was not unavoidable, then I would stand up for the innocent's too, so I'm not a hypocrite. "You also neglected to address the issue I raised, concerning the unnatural prolonging of life, specifically with regard to medical intervention. Another example of human selectivity and selfishness maybe. That is to say, morals are fine, unless they impinge on me personally. And yes, there may be other ways to stop overpopulation but there is certainly not the collective will to do so." The unnatural prolonging of life is in most terms is moral, and I can see no negative impacts of it. If you do, please call them out to me, but as long as there are no negative impacts, then this is irrelevant. Anyways, I would just like to say it has been a treat debating with you. I like that you took the philosophical part of abortion rather than the scientific one. Good luck.
