Abortion After Conception Should Be Illegal

Woohoo, You submitted it just in time! It seems like my opponent does not have much to go on. So, I'd imagine this rebuttal will be rather brief. I would like to thank my opponent for this marvelous first debate back on my new account! This has been interesting for me. Rebuttal One:I am not arguing for utility on the abortion point. You brought up pregnancy, Which is necessary for the human species to continue, As something that should be illegal due to the risks it imposes to the mother as a way to try to debunk my earlier point. You were reaching way too far there, As one is ending a life that the mother chose to make herself while the other is literally carrying on the species. Sex is consent because, As I stated earlier, It is the direct result from the choice of the mother to have intercourse. The direct result of sex is for an orgasm to be achieved, Gametes to meet, And an embryo to be formed. Therefore, The mother gave consent for the new life to form and obtain nutrients from her body. The fact that abortion shows dissent does not change anything. As I stated before, A person cannot murder on the grounds of inconvenience. Therefore, The baby must be carried to birth. Utility: fitness for some purpose or worth to some end (1)I am arguing that the fetus has a right to life. I am arguing that the fetus is a life and cannot be denied the right to live. I am arguing that murder is indeed illegal. I am arguing that abortion can destroy two lives, Not just one. That argument was about the right to life that the fetus had through the conscious choice of the mother. I do argue points where utility is brought into question. However, This was not one of them. Rebuttal 2:I made it clear how the mother agreed to have the child. The mother makes the contract through the reasoning I outlined before which goes as the following:"1. If you choose to have sex, You acknowledge the risk to have a child. 2. If you acknowledge the risk to have a child, You consent to the effects that the child may have on your life and your responsibilities3. By actively participating in sexual intercourse, You agree to take care of the human life you chose to create through your actions. 4. Since the parents knew their sexual organs may be used to create new life, The parents do not have the right to end the new life since they changed their mind out of the convenience of their life. Again, Murder due to convenience is still murder. "Of this, You have yet to address this point directly. Of course the mother can choose to give up the child for adoption. At this point, She is giving up her rights to the child. However, While the child is growing inside of her, She cannot relinquish her rights to the child. Therefore, She is responsible for the life inside of her. We are arguing whether or not abortion should be illegal. The current legality of abortion is irrelevant. However, What is relevant are the moral questions my points ask. We have argued the morality and legality of abortion. You have not argued against the moral questions given by my points. For instance, Why shouldn't the legal guardians of a child be required to nourish their child? Why shouldn't the immigrant have to obey the laws? How is it logical to say the mother has a right to her womb when it has been deemed immoral for the father to shirk his responsibilities even when the mother steals his semen? If you cannot address the moral points I bring up, This argument is conceded. Which, So far, You have not. Here we go with more of your outlandish examples. . . You have no legal power to enforce or make any laws. The law is not based on anything rather than ego. A law against abortion would be based on saving a life. I have asserted that since we are arguing if this should indeed be law, Knowing the direct result of sexual intercourse is reproduction, The mother is indeed responsible for the baby inside of her. Sex and pregnancy are directly related. There is no debate on that. Let's use your logic in a legal sense. Say that someone asks for a man to take an item he no longer wants. The man takes the item. The owner is now lacking the item and regrets selling it. He then accuses the man of burglary. Is he right? Of course not. Losing the item was the direct result of asking someone to take it. The debate is on the legality of a law. Your point is akin to a child whining his friend didn't call him by his favorite nickname. His imperial majesty, Emperor Athias, Your logic is severely flawed and you are conflating two issues which are entirely different. Rebuttal 3:I'll draw this out logically. . . 1. The fetus is a life that spawned as a direct result of a choice the mother made. 2. Therefore, Terminating the baby is murder. 3. The baby cannot consent to a suicide. 4. Therefore, Ending the baby's life is murder, Which is illegal and immoral. This is why the baby's life cannot be terminated without his consent. I meant when the child is autonomous when he grows up to be an adult. I also meant that the child is able to survive without the mother at birth. I am sorry for the confusion. Rebuttal Four:Refer to this again. . . 1. The fetus is a life that spawned as a direct result of a choice the mother made. 2. Therefore, Terminating the baby is murder. 3. The baby cannot consent to a suicide. 4. Therefore, Ending the baby's life is murder, Which is illegal and immoral. The mother owes a debt because she chose to create this life as a direct result of having sexual intercourse. It's very, Very simple. No, You do not owe her a kidney as wrestling your sister does not directly result in kidney damage. Let's level this out since it seems you may be confused. . . 1. The mother chose to have sex2. The direct result of sex is the gametes being combined and an embryo being produced3. The direct result of an embryo being produced is that embryo then having the mother provide sustenance and physiological developmentThe mother is indeed responsible for the premature ejection of the fetus knowing full well that the fetus would need time to grow. She directly caused the murder of a life by having an abortion. She is indeed responsible for forcing the fetus's life to end early by early dejection with conscious knowledge of the death she is causing and the choice to go through with said abortion. Rebuttal Five:Killing many makes murder worse as it shows a disregard for human life. It shows that the mother does not care which life she ends. It shows she does not have regret. This makes it so much worse. Rebuttal Six:You're literally arguing that pregnancy should be illegal due to the potential health risks when they are minuscule compared to abortion, Is needed for the survival of the entire species, And creates life instead of simply destroying it. This argument is simply ridiculous, And I'm sure the voters see it as such. Are you actually suggesting all drugs and prostitution should be legal when they effect multiple people, Easily cause many health concerns, And cause the destruction of many lives? These are direct reasons why I argue abortion should be illegal, Since it does the same things. We aren't even talking about the addiction elements in drugs or such a risk of life for such a little high such as prostitution as well as STDs, Abuse, And more. These arguments are plain ridiculous! The fetus does not have autonomy as it is being born since the baby could not consciously choose to kill the child. Therefore, It is not responsible for the murder. Arguments Not Addressed From My Last Round Alone:Father's being morally obligated to care for the child even if they show they do not consent. Abortion being murder, Argument was dropped by him last round. Murder of a pregnant woman being a double homicide. Abortion being used as birth control when it clearly immoral through loss of life. Thief analogy being debunked. My opponent obviously is losing this debate. Many points have been conceded to me. He is using analogies and logic that does not hold up to rational thinking. I have shown why abortion should be illegal on the grounds of legal and moral grounds. Thank you, VOTE PRO! 1. Https://www. Merriam-webster. Com/dictionary/utility
