Is abortion right

Mistake Something one did not mean to do, or make happen. Responsibility Doing what will ultimately help everyone, or most of those involved, even if the choice is hard to make. Wrong immoral, unethical, the incorrect thing to do. Right The opposite of wrong; responsible Miscarriage The spontaneous end of a pregnancy, especially naturally occurring within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. Now to answer my opponent's questions. "I believe abortion is wrong because abortion is not some women got raped or something and doesn't want to be reminded of it for nine months. " I would like to know how my opponent comes to that conclusion. "In 1996, more than two-thirds of rape/sexual assaults committed in the nation remained unreported. " (Ringel, C. (1997, November). Criminal Victimization in 1996, Changes 1995-1996 with Trends 1993-1996, NCJ-165812, p.3. Washington, DC: Bureau of Justice Statistics, U. S. Department of Justice. ) only 1/3 people that are raped even report it. And that can be for many reasons, such as having your life threatened, the sheer embarrassment, the way people think of you, having to re-live being violated, often in front of many people, and often more than once, for months on end while the trial rages on, and many other factors. "most of the time it is some one got pregnant and did not want to be so they kill the child for their mistake" If someone got pregnant and did not want to be pregnant, then why force it upon them if no one would actually be harmed by ending the pregnancy? Sex is usually not a mistake, even for people who do not wish to raise a child. Sex is one of the greatest feelings, and has many benefits from fun excercize, to stress relief. It makes your body, skin, and hair healthier. It helps with depression, pain, and even prostate cancer, as well as helping to fight aging, and healing faster and better. [1] Of course even using protection, such as the pill, and a condom, there is a risk of sexually transmitted diseases, including pregnancy, but as is with adverse effect, they for the most part can be treated, or else are being researched in how to treat it. If you do not believe that someone should have to live with herpes just because they had sex and the condom broke, or whatever else happened, then why would you think the same thing about pregnancy, when alternatives are available? "I wish a good debate to my opponent" As do I. "but I just don't see how you can agree with killing a child and taking it from its life just because the parents don't want it" If the parents don't want it, how do you expect it to live a good life if it were allowed to develop and be born? What if the parents are too poor, too young, too old, or too sick? "they are not disposable and abortion is not birth control" Does it really matter? There is a huge problem with lack of jobs, homelessness, food to person ratio, etc. "and even if a women is raped its still going to effect her for the rest of her life anyway" So, does that make it alright for a child to be born and know that either 1) Its very existence hurts it's mother daily, and it's father is a complete monster, or 2) knowing that it is so uncared for that it was put into foster care/adoption so that the mother didn't have to deal with it every day. Did you know that there is a clear alignment between children in foster care, and adoption and likelihood of depression and suicide? Which is worse, a parent looking into the facts, and deciding that the least cruel way to deal with it, is to stop it from ever suffering, as in, 'killing' it before it can feel, or forcing someone to go through years of being hurt, alone, betrayed, potentially (likely) abused, before likely killing themselves? To me the former seems responsible, and the latter seems cruel and unethical, wrong and immoral. Which points to Abortion is sometimes the right choice, and often is the right choice for those that choose it. "so why make the child suffer" I do not know, why don't you try to answer that? "for a adults mistake and if the parents don't want it put it up for adoption" Some potential parents wouldn't want to put their children up for adoption, for the reasons I listed above. "abortion is pointless and unnecessary" Only if you happen to want a child, can afford to care for it, and are with someone that can help you to raise the child in the best possible way, with no health problems, nor outside financial/time responsibilities. "why take life from an unborn child for nothing. " Although you might think its for "nothing" in the end, if you think about it, it can be quite beneficial for everyone involved, including the child. I understand that this is a very controversial topic and I hope that we can both remain civil, and learn from this debate. I wish my opponent luck in round 2. [1] . http://webecoist.com...
