Abortion

I would like to debate someone who is completely for abortion with minimal restrictions that way there would be more to debate. My format for the first round will be going point by point of different arguments used by pro-choicers and refuting them all, which is why I set the character limit to 10,000 and 5 rounds. After that you may counter-argue as many of my points as you would like. Please keep this debate civil and respectful. No name calling or identity politics. Thank you. 1.It Empowers Women. Abortion does not empower women. There is no evidence to support this claim. How does killing a human being empower women? That is a trick question; it does not. What if the "fetus" is a female? Killing a female baby does not empower them. Abortion is also a sign that a woman is weak. Abortion is saying that women kill their baby because they are incompetent to carry it to terms and to raise it. 2.A Fetus is not a Life. Then at what stage does it become a life? Does it become a life at four weeks when the brain and heart begin to form? At eight weeks when the heart begins to beat, and the face starts developing features, and when you can tell the gender of the baby (then again, you must wait until they are born for them to choose)? At twelve weeks when the baby can make a fist? All these features dignify a human being. Some leftist believe that life begins at the first sign of brain activity, which is indeed in the first trimester, ergo, they should be in favor of limited abortions after the first trimester. Other leftists believe that life begins at birth, so by that logic, they believe that all abortions up to the day before the due date should be legal. They claim that an abortion in the ninth month is called a C-section; while that might be true, it is not a C-section when the purpose of removing the baby is kill it and throw it away. Another argument is if it is in fact a life and killing it is wrong, why is masturbating okay when it is doing the same thing that abortion is doing- killing life. All these claims are false- life begins at conception. When sperm meets egg is when life begins. 3.It is a Woman"s Right. Which specific amendment gives women the right to murder another human being? There is none. The fact that leftists and radical feminists believe that somewhere in the Constitution it says that they have the right to murder a baby- it does not. The reason that Roe v. Wade was granted in Roe"s favor was because the Fourth Amendment stated that it was within her privacy and that the government had no business to tell her what to do with it. What was overlooked was that the government has a duty to protect the life of a U.S. citizen. They only examined the constitutional rights of the mother, but overlooked those of the baby. If a mother beats their born child, does that make it okay because it is the woman"s privacy? Of course not! It is always the duty of the government to protect the right to life of its citizens. 4.The Constitutional Right. All United States citizens have the right to life, liberty, and property. Focusing on the right to life, if a "fetus" is to two U.S. citizens, it is, ipso facto, a U.S. citizen, ipso facto, it has the right to life. It is the government"s job to protect that right, that is why the government should have a say, in this case, what someone can do with their body. The government should not, however, tell someone that they can not get a tattoo, but one is saying that they can not have ink on their skin and one is saying that they can not murder a baby. 5.What if a Woman is Raped? The woman is already raped; aborting the innocent baby will not reverse the horrendous tragedy that has been bestowed upon the victim, but just because the woman is a victim does not mean that there must be two victims- the baby. This is not condoning rape. Rapists should be imprisoned for life, castrated, or put to death for their crime. If the woman does not want to keep the child post-birth, she should give it up for adoption. If she can not financially support herself, it is not her fault that she got impregnated, either the rapist should pay for all medical bills or a government program to help those in need. This is not to say that all woman who want abortions for their own mistake should get free money for health bills. 6.Sometimes Prevention Does Not Work. There are multiple types of prevention. Condoms, birth-control pills, and planning are all types of prevention, but only work 95-98% of the time. There is one type of prevention that works 100% of the time- not having sex. Unless the woman is the Virgin Mary, then there is no one who has gotten pregnant who has not had sex. 0% of virgins have gotten pregnant. Unless they have an IQ of 50, they should know that pregnancy is a direct effect of sex. If they are aware of this fact of life, they should not have sex before they are ready for children. It is called adulthood; have some responsibility. 7."My Body, My Choice". Sorry sweetheart, last time I checked, that baby had its own brain, its own heart, which is pumping blood that may be a different blood type from the mother"s, its own set of organs, and its own body. Radical feminists believe that a human baby is the same think as an appendix, that they can do whatever they want with it. That is not even true. If you walk into the hospital and demand that they remove your appendix for no reason, they will deny you. Unless the appendix is endangering your life, then it will not be removed because there is no reason. The same principle applies to babies and pregnancy. If carrying the baby to terms will endanger the mother"s life, then in that extreme circumstance will it be okay to terminate the pregnancy. There are ways to terminate a pregnancy without having Planned Parenthood. Any gynecologist can perform the procedure in a doctor"s office. 8."My Body is Not a Battleground". This is another slogan of the pro-choice movement. It is also incorrect just like the other 800 of them. Your body is obviously a battleground, but not between you and the government, it is between you and the unborn baby inside of it. Your body should not be a battleground, but it should also not be a gas chamber. 9."Save Both". "Save both" is yet another (inaccurate) slogan by the pro-choice movement to demonstrate the need for clinic abortions. It is trying to say that America needs to keep abortion clinics open because they are safer than back-alley abortions. If they really wanted to save both, they would illegalize abortion to save the mother and the child. By keeping abortion legal, they are not saving the child, by which they are admitting to being a life. If they "care so much" about saving both they would illegalize abortion 10."Keep Abortion Safe, Legal, and Rare". Yet another asinine slogan by the asinine pro-choice movement. There is not a single abortion that is safe. When they mean safe, to whom are they referring? It is definitely not safe for the baby who is having its head cut off its body and having its organs suck out the uterus. Even though it is not rare, having 58,000 abortions since January 1, 2018, why does it need to be rare? If there is nothing wrong with having an abortion, why can there not be more abortions? According to them, abortion empowers women, so let them have more abortions. They are contradicting their own argument in their own argument.
