Abortion is murder and wrong

First, I would like to point out that the debate is "Abortion is murder and wrong". You chose Con, which would mean you disagree with this. I can see that is clearly not the case. To clarify, I will be arguing that abortion is not murder and wrong. I will start with a rebuttal of my opponent(con)'s argument. This argument is riddled with logical fallacies. I will start with, "Firstly, it is killing an innocent child. When many women kill their child, their kid has a beating heartbeat by then and whatever has a heartbeat is living" Con's argument presented was: Child=kid, Kid=beating heart, heartbeat=living. In presenting this, you have actually weakened your argument. This is a fallacy known as "Denying the antecedent". Child=kid=heartbeat=living, Killing a living thing is wrong. This assumes that only a human has a heartbeat. Not only humans have a heartbeat. For example a cow, chicken, or pig all have hearbeats as well. Therefore(by your argument), it is wrong to kill cows, chickens, pigs, any animal with a heartbeat, even though you use these and other living animal's(that have a heartbeat) products daily. Secondly, "Also, people think it's safe. Think again. Anyone can do some research and see the amount of things that can go wrong after an abortion. " This is merely a hypothesis. Yes it is possible that something could go wrong. This does not make it unsafe. There is a risk of complication in any medical procedure. Legal abortion is a safe procedure. Infection rates are less than one percent, and fewer than 1 in 100,000 deaths occurs from first-trimester abortions. Abortion is safer for the mother than carrying a pregnancy to term. Medical and surgical abortions are both safe and effective when performed by trained practitioners. My final rebuttal of Con's argument, "Another thing is that it's completely disobeying God. Abortion is thus, wrong. " You never stated how exactly it is disobeying god. You also are assuming that this argument is directed towards someone that actually believes in your god. Foremost, you are assuming that god is real. This is a fallacy, known as "begging the question" or circular reasoning. You have no proof that abortion is disobeying god. There is no proof that god is real. I have now rebutted and disproved every single argument of Con. Since Con bears the burden of proof, I don't actually need to have any arguments as of currently. However, I will do so anyway. "This country outlaws murder", I will assume you mean the United States. I will desregard the tone, referring to abortion as murder;you can refer to my rebuttals, to see the appropriate response. The U. S. also has a Bill of Rights. I will start by referring to the first ammendment right, Freedom of Religion. This right guarantees every U. S. citizen a freedom of and from religion. "The government shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof". Basically what this is saying is, the government can make no law that incorporates religion. "Another thing is that it's completely disobeying God. Abortion is thus, wrong. " Since that seems to be the only argument you have(which was disproved in my rebuttal), all that you have backing this up, is your religious views. There is a separation of church and state, as I have pointed out above. Religion has no place in the establishment of laws, and would actually violate the bill of rights, if there were to be a law banning abortion solely based on the basis that "abortion is disobeying god, thus is wrong". Abortion is a medical procedure that terminates a pregnancy at any stage that does not result in birth. Abortion can and is used in cases of rape, incest, or in cases where having the baby will present significant complications or harm to the mother. The fetus(whether it has its own heartbeat or not) is not capable of mantaining life, or a stable heartbeat without the mother. It should not be viewed as a human, as it is not. It is, however, a human fetus. Yes, it is a potential human child, just as a man's semen and a woman's eggs are a potential human child. I am not at all invalidating your opinion, but, it is not fair to invalidate a woman's right to choose. Especially when you have never been under the same circumstances. i. e. (rape, incest, or childbirth). Therefore, essentially it is illogical for a woman who has never beared a child, or a man, to decide for this woman. (do not view this as sexist, or feminist, I am an unbiased male)Again, I am NOT saying their opinion is invalid because of this, but it is just that an OPINION. A way to put this, is the golden rule, "One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself". ex. If you were raped, would you want the government to force you to keep the baby? The government should not, and does not have control of womens' bodies. The government cannot make any sexual act illegal(obviously with the consent of both, and no harm to the public, or bodily harm to either), and thus, they cannot control the result of it, either. I have now disproved every argument of Con. As I had said earlier, Con does bear the burden of proof, so after my rebuttal, I technically had already won. I further advanced to make 3 simple arguments, (freedom of religion, fetus is NOT a person, the golden rule). As of now, I see no reason not to vote Pro(me), which is saying abortion is not murder and wrong. I look forward to the rest of the debate, thought I think it's pretty clear, I have summarized all of it in round 1. Disproved the various weak, and logal fallacy arguments, and then made a counter argument.
