Abortion should be allowed.

Claim 1- It is the patient only who takes their own decisions. Fact- Although this is true in some cases, in the case of clinical abortion the ultimate decision is made by the doctor and the doctor only because if the doctor refuses to perform an abortion the woman still remains pregnant but if the doctor does decide to perform an abortion the woman is no longer pregnant because the doctor makes the decisions in cases of clinical abortions. Claim 2- There exists therapies where the rape survivors are made to undergo therapy which ultimately leads to reinstatement of her self confidence and belief. Assumption- Rape survivors that undergo therapy leads to reinstatement of self confidence and belief. Fact/Rebuttal- Although this may be true in most cases not all rape victims that undergo therapy leads to reinstatement of self confidence and belief because therapy is not effective for all individuals. Claim 3/Assumption- My opponent here thinks that I think "Care taken by adoption agency.orphanage is equal to care taken by parents. A child put up for adoption will be adopted in no time." Fact/Rebuttal- I in fact do not think this claim/assumption however I do think that care taken by adoption agency/orphanage can be equal, better, or worse than care taken by parents depending on the situation for example if the parents want/doesn't want the child or if the parents can/cannot financially support the child. I didn't mention earlier that "there are already many children who have filled up orphanages and there aren't enough parents who want to take up children" because I didn't need to mention it to prove my point, my point was to mention that adoption agencies/safe havens are available which they are. I also do not think that all children put up for adoption will be adopted in no time, however I do think that some children will be adopted and some will not and some will be adopted quickly and some will not. Claim 4- a child cannot be well nurtured as well in orphanage as she/he would by parents. Fact/Rebuttal- My opponent here thinks that this claim is true when in fact this claim is only true or untrue in certain situations, for example I reiterate if the parents want/doesn't want the child or if the parents can/cannot financially support the child. Claim 5- http://en.wikipedia.org... Fact/Rebuttal- My opponent uses this link to prove this is what denying abortion can do but although the information on this link may be true it doesn't matter because wikipedia is not a credible source. Claim 6- "During any kind of rape- In such cases it is obvious that the woman would want to terminate the pregnancy. Such cases very much demand the need for abortion,without which both the life of the child and the mother will be spoiled." Fact/Rebuttal- This claim is untrue because it isn't obvious that the woman that was raped would want to terminate the pregnancy because pro life women exist that believe that the fetus shouldn't be killed because of who there father is/was. My opponent also claims that a woman needs an abortion if she's raped when in fact the only circumstance she needs an abortion is if her life is in danger. My opponent also believes that a woman denied an abortion will eventually suffer a spoiled life along with her child but although this may be true in most situations this isn't true in all situations because some women have a change of heart after there child is born, and some children grow up to live happy lives after their birth mothers give them up for adoption http://espn.go.com... Claim 7- "The teen mother is neither physically nor mentally matured enough to nurture a fetus or a child in the future for that matter." Fact/Rebuttal- My opponent claims that teenage mothers aren't mentally ready to raise a child however although this may be true in some situations this isn't true in all situations because some teen aged mothers gain a sense of responsibility after their child is born and raise them just fine although the process may be more difficult due to their age. Claim 8- "Also since they a children themselves,they dont posses enough knowledge on parenting,thus spoiling the life of the mother and the child." Fact/Rebuttal- This isn't true in all circumstances because some mothers teach their daughters motherly like qualities that their daughters pass on to their children and if not there are pregnancy classes available for soon to be mothers.
