Abortion is morally wrong.

Rebuttals"You are incorrect because, in order for it to be murder, the victim must be "a human being," something that a fetus is not. In fact, a vast majority of abortion doctors, biologists, and scientists agree that the fetus is not actually a human until it's self sustainability (the period in which it can live without its mother). Before that point, it is nothing more than a parasite, absorbing it's parent's nutrients for it's own well being. For that matter, any abortions before the 20th week of pregnancy (the prerequisite to the self sustainability period) are more or less the removal of a seed that will eventually GROW into a human. Therefore, saying abortion is murder is like saying destroying a seed is the equivalent of cutting down a tree, which is obviously not the case. For that matter, anyone who considers abortion to be murder because the fetus will eventually become a human MUST agree that anytime a woman has her period she is killing a baby, because she is loosing her egg. Again, that is just not the case."Imagine you are a hunter. You see a shadow. It could be a bear, but it also could be a human. Would you shoot? Most people would say no because of the possibility of it being a human. The same goes with abortion. The fetus has a very high possibility of becoming a human, so would you kill it before it has the chance to?"Point 1) Some 250 years ago, our Fore Fathers came upon this land with dreams of Liberty, and Freedom from government oppression. Those ideals have remained a staple of American culture all of these years. Unfortunately, people like my opponent are stepping into the spotlight with different notions. They are attempting to seize these ideas of "Liberty" and "Freedom" and utterly destroy them, claiming women, during THEIR time of pregnancy, CANNOT refuse to give up the seed that is inside of THEM, or else these women aren't moral! Let me ask you, Pro Lifers, how can you call yourselves moral when you are telling women what they can and can't do with their bodies during their time of pregnancy! It's Fascism, if you ask me, or a significant majority of Americans. We need to go back to what made this country the great nation that it was, and we can only do that through allowing people the freedom to choose."My opponent's argument is that women have the right to choose. However, does the future-human get to choose? Think about it, if you had the choice to get killed and not get a chance to live or live and become a human, what would you choose? Normal people would want to live! It's a bit hypocritical that Pro-Choice people want women to be able to choose, while denying the choice of life. "Point 2) Tell me Con: what if a woman is raped? According to the United States Department of Justice, that is something that happens over 190,000 times a year. Do you think that all of these women should have to go through the most painful natural process in life? And after 10 hours of this gut-wrenching pain, they should receive a baby they don't even want? No! No sensible person agrees with this. It is not fair, and in situations like rape, when birth control is not an option, abortion is the only option! It is a fast, moral, relatively cheap method to prevent yourself from having to carry, and it is nothing more than that."Most rapes do not cause pregnancy. Of the 200,000 women who were forcibly raped, one-third were either too old or too young to get pregnant. [9]so right of the bat scratch 1/3. Women are capable of being fertilized only 3 days (perhaps 5) out of a 30-day month. [9]So right there take of more because chances are you will not be raped in that 3 day period. Only half of assailants penetrate her body and/or deposit sperm in her vagina [9]take off some there.Fifteen percent of men are sterile [9]so some rapists do not have sperm, lower that numberFifteen percent of non-surgically sterilized women are naturally sterile [9]The number of possibly women pregnant from rape is below 5,000 from the original 200,000The average couple takes 5-9 months to get pregnant. [9]SO according to the source the original 200,000 lowers to 450. Most do not become pregnant. ConclusionAbortion is not moral because a fetus should at least get a chance to live. My opponent's argument is that women have the right to choose. However, does the future-human get to choose? Think about it, if you had the choice to get killed and not get a chance to live or live and become a human, what would you choose? Normal people would want to live! It's a bit hypocritical that Pro-Choice people want women to be able to choose, while denying the choice of life.
