Abortion should be considered as murder

Recall how in opening statements it was argued by myself that by the prosecution of abortion as murder, 1/4 of American women would be incarcerated for abortions, Which would cause a worldwide economic recession and be devastating for women's rights. Not only has my opponent done little to nothing to argue against this, The consquences of a global economic crash outweigh anything my opponent could say about the morallity of abortion; one only needs to look at 2008 to see why. Women's rights are too, Much more important, As first, There's aproximatelly 3. 5 billion of them or so, As compared to miniscule number of human embryos, And second, As argued by the critically acclaimed book by Steven Pinker (of which Bill Gates has said was the most important book he has ever read) Better Angels of Our Nature, The empowerment of women has heavily contributed to the global decline in violence, Meaning that reversing said trend would bring forth violence in vast swaths, Causing global chaos. Too recall how my opponent agreed with the definition for the Oxford Dictionary which states that murder must be the unlawful premediated killing of one human being by another. By definition, Abortion almost all of the West is by definition, Not murder, As it currently has a legally protected status. This too, My opponent seems to have no response to, And frankly it's too late for one now. Several problems with what was said by my opponent in the prior round are present. First, The 2017 article from the Independent entitled "Man charged with kicking pregnant woman in the stomach cries outside court" was said by opponent to say that the man was charged with murder after kicking a woman in her stomach causing her to miscarry, Showing how unborn children qualify as human beings under the eyes of the law. However, If one happens to read the article, It clearly doesn't say that, As medical professsionals found that both she and her baby were unharmed, He wasn't charged with murder (rather reckless endangerment and attempted assualt, Which he did do after she pushed him onto the ground after bumping into one another), And didn't establish a legal precedent. Even if the article said everything my opponent said it did, This was prosecuted in NYC, Not federal, Or even state court. Compare this to Supreme Court decsions such as Roe v. Wade, Which established that the 14th amendment's right to privacy protected a woman's right to abortion till a fetus' viability. Second, My opponent states that we should discourage abortion by criminalizing it. However, Recall the aforementioned article from the Independent which argued that doing such only serves to move abortion underground, Where the medical regulations and practices are scanty at best, Causing multitudes of mothers to suffer complications and infections, Along with the potential death of both the mother and child. Even if one believes that abortion is morally abhorrent and sinful, Making said action criminal does nothing to stop it (again, Much like drugs). Third, Argues that abortion has a harmful effect on women, Yet brings to no evidence to substantiate this claim, And should be ignored for the same reason. Therefore, We may begin by asking, And I'm asking you as well as my opponent when you consider your voting; is it good for the world to imprison millions of women, For what frankly is a victimless crime? Is it good for the world to reinstitute women to an under caste status, By ending equal representation in not only the workforce, But society as a whole? Is it good for the world have mothers and children die from illegal abortions, Simply to try to discourage the act itself? To cause another economic crash likely worse than 2008, Having the entirety of the world suffer simply so one can uphold a supposed moral high ground? I say it is not, And frankly, Any thinking person should do the same.
