WODC: Voluntary Abortion should be legal

Before I bring up some of my own points and refute some of ArcTlimes's points I would like to create a analogy. "Gov. Deval Patrick announced Friday he’s proposed two locations in Massachusetts to temporarily shelter unaccompanied children who crossed the southern border into the U.S. illegally. While staying in the facility, the children will be processed by immigration officials for deportation, reunification or asylum. They’re drawn by rumors that once here, they can stay."A group of friends and I sat around a bonfire and discussed the issue of the illegals being invited into the US and we were talking about how to deal with them. The choices were: -Allow them to stay in the Gov. funded camps until they're ready to go on their own.-Deport them back to their home land-Deport them back to their families -Kill themThis is somewhat like what conception is. I know it sounds crazy, so bear with me. A unborn baby is like the illegal immigrant children in my analogy, but in her case she was forced to be there by ether failed contraception or negligence. It wasn't of her choice to be conceived but of her mother and father's bad choices. Now we all remember what president Obama said: The baby has been allowed, forced, or negligently conceived and now there is a issue. What do we do? It's most logical to have a punishment for your actions. Being embarrassed, feeling shame? That's normal when it comes to mistakes. Being inconvenienced? Also normal.The women has every right to be punished for her mistakes, but her son or daughter? No, they should not be punished. 98% of women abort because they don't want a kid or because it's a inconvenience to be pregnant. We have two choices, be mature about our mistakes and take the punishment for our actions by allowing the baby we made to stay in our body for the 8 or 9 months until they are able to survive outside the womb and then give them up to adoption. Or, we can punish her for our mistakes and our inconvenience by riping her up and flushing her out of the womb. We should not be giving innocent babies a punishment that they don't deserve. On to refuting:The Body Rights ArgumentHaving control of your body does not mean having control of another human being's body. Let's look at this picture: As you can see the women is in charge of her body, she can do what she wants with it, she just can't do whatever she wants with another human being's body. It's not her body, it's not her choice. We need to make the distinction that there are two bodies that we are talking about and two people's rights to choose. Let's talk about a women's bodily rights. The right to life supersedes the right to not be pregnant. If you've made a mistake that causes another human being to be conceived, her right to life is more valuable then your right to not be pregnant. There are many rights you have with your body: Abstinence. You have every right not to have sex. This is one of the best ways to make sure you won't get pregnant. Birth control pill. You have every right to be on birth control so that you don't get pregnant. Condoms. This is also a right that you have, you have a right to use condoms (male and female) so that you have a huge barrier to make sure you don't get pregnant. Those are just three things you can do, while there are many more I'll wait until my third round to bring them up. Choices are not a good premise. People with Pro-Abortion mindsets believe that women should have the choice to be in charge of her own body, and I agree with that. Women have every right to choose to be on birth control, use condoms, or practice abstinence. But I'm here today not to argue that women should be able to make choices about her body, I'm here to argue for those who don't have voices, for those who cannot choose life for themselves. Personhood needs to stay in this debate. My opponent would like to dismiss the fact that every abortion kills a innocent human being and the fact that the differences between unborn babies and adults are differences of degree of development and not of kind. But I would ask that these important mindsets stay in this debate. We need to remember that abortion is the killing of innocent children who did not make a mistake, and that adults and unborn babies are the same thing, humans. The argument of the violinist. I understand that my opponent would like me to ignore his analogy but I find two major flaws with this analogy. -This analogy is assuming that when you have sex you do not know there are possibilities of becoming pregnant. -There were absolutely no choices made on your part, this analogy makes sex look like every single women is being rapped. I'm not going to go into detail on those flaws, if asked to by ArcTlimes I will, but my points still stand. Donating your womb is not a choice to be made after you conceive, it is a choice to be made before you have sex. If you are not ready to become pregnant then you should abstain. It's that simple. -Illegal abortion won't stop abortions. Prior to abortion's legalization, 90% of abortions were done by doctors, not by "coat hangers in back alleys." [People] justify abortion on the claim that if it is outlawed, women will abort anyway and may die in the process. There problems with this hypothesis. First, it doesn't address that [it’s not a mother’s choice]. Second, laws against abortion would deter most women from having one. Third, there is no evidence that illegal abortions are more dangerous than legal abortions. Of course, even if the "coat hanger" argument was true (it's not), then it's still morally ridiculous to legalize procedures that kill innocent babies just to make the killing procedures less dangerous to the mother. Fifteen years before abortion was legal in America, around 85 percent of illegal abortions were done by: "Reputable physicians in good standing in their local medical associations." Now that I refuted some of my opponent's arguments I will make my own. Argument 1: Every abortion kills a innocent human being."There is no longer serious doubt in my mind that human life exists within the womb from the very onset of pregnancy...There is simply no doubt that even the early embryo is a human being. All its genetic coding and all its features are indisputably human. As to being, there is no doubt that it exists, is alive, is self-directed, and is not the the same being as the mother–and is therefore a unified whole." -Bernard Nathanson Argument 2: Beginning at conception, every pregnancy involves two or more bodies. The slogan, "My Body, My Choice," betrays a tragic misunderstanding of what is taking place inside the womb. At no point in pregnancy is the developing embryo or fetus simply a part of the mother's body. Argument 3: It is just, reasonable, and necessary for society to outlaw certain choices. "Whenever we hear the term pro-choice, we must ask the all-important question, “What choice are we talking about?” Given the facts about abortion, the question really becomes, “Do you think people should have the right to choose to kill innocent children if that's what they want to do?" ""The only way people can successfully live together in community is to give up a measure of personal freedom. Personal choices that infringe on the life or livelihood of another human being must be legislated against. Nobody argues that a man should be free to choose when the context is sexual assault. What a fool he would be to try and justify rape by saying, "My body, my choice." "Argument 4: The right to not be killed supersedes the right to not be pregnant.Argument 5: “Unwantedness” does not morally justify abortion.Argument 6: Abortion is more dangerous than childbirth. Due to lack of space I will bring up more points in my third round.[1] http://boston.cbslocal.com... [2] https://bound4life.com... [3] http://www.abortionfacts.com...
