Abortion

In the final round I will address all topics that you raised as well as reiterate & explain my stance. In response to my statement on the role of abortion doctors, you stated, "I also feel they aren't really qualified to and that most doctors wouldn't want to make this decision". It is not a matter of feeling nor can you proclaim that most doctors wouldn't want to make that decision therefore it can't happen. Do you think abortion doctors enjoy their practice of extracting and removing a pregnancy? What about Gynecologist's that have to tell a new mother that she had a miscarriage? It's not a matter of "want", it is a matter of responsibility. In every operation a medical professional's career is on the line so by any means that wouldn't be asking too much...? Yes I did state, "Every human being brought on this earth has a chance to do what they wish with their life", but I also stated "No matter how great or how small each human being has a chance to succeed in life." Every Human being should be granted the right to life. You bringing up the idea of money again as a reason to an abortion isn't sufficient. Jumping to the conclusion that that child is going to live a neglectful life is another generalization that you dont have the right to make. What if that child would go on to become a Math prodigy or a Professional athlete but, we would never know based on the fact that we cant afford it so lets just get rid of it. The point on the 100+ year span was used to illustrate the fact that for thousands of years human beings didn't even have this option open to them and now all of a sudden in recent centuries, females are now entitled to a new scapegoat of having unprotected sex. Yes I certainly can bring up the fact that this is on a personal level and completely disregarding it is not answering the question on what about the thousands of people that have reflected my outcome? Should that person not have the privilege of expanding their family tree? I absolutely know that when you outlaw something it creates a black market but, the real question is how many woman are willing to take it to that stage? By outlawing abortion you have effectively reduced the number of woman that will eventually go through with the process. Of course you cannot prevent all abortions, for the goal is to make it less accessible to the general public. Teaching Sex Ed is of course an ideal tool to informing teenagers about the dangers of unprotected sex as well as STD's, etc. but, you talk of the idea of Sex Ed in the sense that it is a substitution to outlawing abortion. With the combination of Sex Ed and abortions made illegal it is highly probable that there will be a rise in protected forms of sex which decreases this idea of an abortion in the first place. I also forgot to mention that if a females life was in danger that I certainly would agree that she should be granted the right to an abortion. There was actually a case in Ireland of this where abortion was outlawed and so as a result the mother died as well as her baby. Lastly I would like to state a darker side of abortion procedures which deals with late term abortions. When used in non-life threatening scenarios this is a disgusting practice that is as far as I know illegal but, still reported every year. Another upside to outlawing abortion is that you effectively reduce the number of patients that may have to experience such an event. Abortion is not a black/white issue where there is 1 answer that is applicable to every patient for each female's case is different and unique. All I hope is that societies stance is not 100% pro-abortion nor 100% anti-abortion. In most arguments I typically side with the idea that if it doesn't affect me who cares if its legal or not, like gay marriage. However this issue involves two people where 1 person gets to make the life or death decision. That is not mutual and therefore I do find issue with this topic. Please feel free to let me know which points you support, or are against with explanation. Thanks and I enjoyed debating.
