Abortion is morally wrong.

Thank you for that very. .. eh, interesting response. Counter-Rebuttals "So tell me Con, is a woman killing a baby before it has a chance to live whenever she has her period and looses an egg? Well, you must think so if you think "we are killing fetuses before them have a chance to live. "Please use proper English next time so I can understand you. Well, that seemed pretty understandable to me. Every time a woman has a period, she looses an egg. So, does that qualify as "murder" in your mind? "The reason we are not giving fetuses a choice is because they would be incapable of choosing if we happened to ask them. "But who would choose to die? Nobody would want to be aborted as a fetus. You missed the point! No one would want to die, The reason I said that is because if a fetus is aborted, then it never will be a human, therefore it was never and will never be able to make a choice rationally! So your argument basically makes no sense! "For that matter, they are incapable of feeling pain, thinking, digestion, or self awareness. " A fetus can feel pain at 8 weeks. At 8 weeks, it has all the musles and organs needed to feel pain. Scientists even did studies that proved fetuses can feel pain. Souces at the bottom. No, a fetus can not feel pain until 20 weeks! I looked at one of YOUR sources, and here's what it said. "A new Nebraska law bans abortions after 20 weeks, based on the idea that pain begins then. " That's right! YOUR source said that! So what, are you just making these facts up? Please, I would really like to know! "Where, may I ask, are you getting these "facts? ""I will post them at the bottom of this round. Hmm. .. I didn't happen to see your fact about "fifteen percent of men are sterile" in any of those sources! Nor did I see your fact "Only half of assailants penetrate her body and/or deposit sperm in her vagina" anywhere! So again, we see you simply making this stuff up! "There are many methods of birth control in today's world. You can attempt natural birth control, by only having sex during ovulation. Or condoms can be used to prevent the flow of sperm. Also, pills such as daily pills or morning after supplements can eliminate the zygote. However, what if the girl ovulates at an unexpected time? Or what if your condom breaks, like some 4% of them do? Maybe the pill doesn't work either, as the chances of failure are always there? Abortion is a last resort for many people. A common "misconception" (no pun intended! ) is that pro-choice people love abortion. Abortion is not a great thing, but in situations like teen pregnancies, it can be necessary. "Again, a fetus is biologically a member of the human species, therefore you cannot morally kill an innocent fetus. There are cases when birth control fails, but they will just have to deal with it. Besides, it was their idea to have sex in the first place. No, no, no! A fetus is not biologically human. The fetus has a heart, skin, muscles, cartilage, a "brain," minor organs, and several other small parts similar to humans. But hey, so do dogs! So are dogs "biologically human? " No! Also,Definition of a parasite:parasite ( ) n. Biology . An organism that grows, feeds, and is sheltered on or in a different organism while contributing nothing to the survival of. Does the fetus grow, feed, and have shelter in the mother? Yes! Does it contribute to the mother's survival? No! So a fetus, technically speaking, is 100% parasite. Is it murder when you remove an unwanted parasite from your body? Of course not! And it is not the user's fault when birth control fails. They should not "just have to deal with it," because if the fetus does become a human, it will probably have a poor life in the hands of inexperienced kids who may not even get to college in order to care for the child! RebuttalsNew point- A fetus can feel painA fetus can feel pain at 8 weeks, and abortion causes alot of pain. Well, it was YOUR SOURCE (. http://news.discovery.com......) that said it takes 20, maybe up to 29 weeks! So you basically proved yourself wrong, and attempted to fudge false information! That should get you disqualified right there, my friend. ConclusionThank you, folks, for listening to this heated debate for the past week or so. To wrap things up,-Abortion is not murder. The definition of murder clearly states that murder is "of another human being," and according to nearly every source below (as well as my opponent's sources), a fetus is not by any means human. -When you really take a good look at it, abortion is nothing more than a choice between a woman and her doctor. It is not the government's choice, not her parent's choice, and certainly not your choice, Con. -Rape is something that happens a lot in today's society, and unfortunately, many of these victims become pregnant (contrary to the made up statistics of my opponent). So abortion, while not always happy, must happen if the woman does not want to continue to carry some random dude's seed. -Birth control does not always work, but that is not the user's fault. The parents (and the baby) should not be punished for something they can't stop! -My opponent uses made up info for his case! Thank you.
