Abortion Should Be Illegal In the United States

Rebuttal 1"I did not say that abortion is illegal, I said that murder is, and if a baby is a person, then abortion is murder, which is illegal."This is a logic fail. If by saying murder is illegal, and therefore abortion should illegal then the next thing we must acknowledge is that this statement is irrelevant. The resolution is still not upheld. Pro must present a case as to why abortion should be illegal or not used in any circumstance. Just by saying it is murder is failing to address all of the contentions I have brought forth. Rebuttal 2Murder is always illegalThis is the best inference I can draw from cons case here. Literally this makes me want to punch myself in the face. Murder is not always illegal. Ask George Zimmerman about self defense and see how he is doing. He shot a kid in Florida which is the worst of all states to defend yourself in, and GOT AWAY WITH IT. Yes you can kill someone legally and have it be permissible by law. This argument is so faulty it is almost not worth addressing. The difference between killing someone to save another persons life and killing a fetus to save a mothers life, is that you are sacrificing someone whom does not have emotion, pain, or even a way to respond to anything asked to it for the life of someone who has all the above. Rebuttal 3" There is never a situation in which there is no chance that the mother will survive without an abortion "This is a blatant lie. There are things called ecotpic pregnanices, that can and will lead to the death of the mother if the fetus is not killed [1][2]. These pregnancies can possibly lead to death. "It is a complication of pregnancy in which the embryo implants outside the uterine cavity."Rebuttal 4" Your sources don't prove rape in any incident. Would you demonstrate how rape could be proven? "I am lost as to how to respond to this. Since my sources involve statistics involving rape, one can logically assume rape actually happens. The way this is worded, is like my adversary is making rape out to be a myth and asking me to "show me that rape actually exists". Rape is not like God, it happens all the time and on a daily basis. See prior sources. Rebuttal 5" It's a little late to mention this, but you need to more fully adress my argument and questions. Perhaps you should give yourself more time to argue. Most of what I'm seeing are pre-written arguments not changed to fit the context."You really have not given a viable argument, and all the ones you have given I have properly refuted. You claimed a baby is a person. I addressed this in my first round, which you did not properly refute. You then sort of dropped all my points and said "Killing a baby is murder, therefore it is illegal". I shot this down pretty quick. Even if we acknowledge the baby is a person, there are situations in which killing it can be justified. Especially including situations in where it is causing the mother harm and could threaten her life. I have shown legal evidence to support both which you have also chosen to ignore. Under the statue of most states and through justifiable homicide, we are given the right to protect our body of harm. It is called self defense. In and only then is murder justified. This explicitly fits into the context of that. Rebuttal 6"In conclusion, it is never right to kill one innocent person to save another; both lives should be saved if possible, and to not try to save one of them is as good as murder"There are situations that aborting a fetus could lead to the harm or cause the death of the mother. By choosing to save the child, you can lose both the Child and the Mother and gain nothing. These cases are few and far between, but we should always have the option on the table. It is not my adversaries right, or my right to deny a family the right to chose whom to save. In situations like that, no legalities should permit saving one or the other. If the mother wishes to die to possibly save the child that is her choice. However if she wishes to abort a fetus inside of her calling pain so that she can live and be with her loved ones, that is also her choice. The government can not deny her the right to chose in that situation. I know if my Fiance were laying on a table and the only way to save her was to abort a fetus, I would want that option available to me. Would you rather keep someone alive whom you have been with for years, spent your time with, can psychically talk to , and that you have an emotional connection with or would you risk that persons life in order to possibly save a fetus that could possibly become a child if it makes it through the process. Abortion should also be left open as an option, therefore it should remain legal, and not be made illegalIn closingCon has came no where near meeting his BOP as noted in R1 which he agreed to take. Every case he has presented, I have refuted and he has not met the resolution that he presented. Therefore we can conclude that abortion should remain legal especially for cases of rape and where it could endanger the mothers life. This is the end of this debate. My adversary has agreed to type "no round as agreed upon"in the last round. I would like to thank him for a great debate[1] http://en.wikipedia.org...[2] http://www.nlm.nih.gov...
