Abortion

In this debate, my objective is to clarify any misconceptions of abortion as well as insert philisophical context into the debate as well. C1-Legality:Roe v. Wade was the supreme court case where the judges deemed barring people from abortion to be completely unconstitutional. The supreme court case also stated that females have rights towards the longevety of the embryo. The embryo or fetus does not have access to the same rights as a female. The fetus's transition to legitimate personhood commences in the 22nd to 24th week. C2-Embryo or FetusIn order for con to win on grounds of legality, than con must prove that the embryo or fetus is equivilant to a human being. In this contention, I will convey the differances between an embryo/fetus and a human being. between parts of a human being that only possess "human life" and a human embryo or human fetus that is an actual "human being. " Abortion is the destruction of a human being. Destroying a human sperm or a human oocyte would not constitute abortion, since neither are human beings. The issue is not when does human life begin, but rather when does the life of every human being begin. A human kidney or liver, a human skin cell, a sperm or an oocyte all possess human life, but they are not human beingsthey are only parts of a human being. If a single sperm or a single oocyte were implanted into a womans uterus, they would not grow; they would simply disintegrate. C3-BrainThe brain commences in a fetus on the 22nd to 24th week. Duing those weeks, abortions are deemed illegal. I will also propound the notion that the human brain is really the essential component of a human being. Without a brain, the human is not truly a being. The brain controls the conciousness and subconcious parts of the human body. Without the brain, a human would be incapable of walking, talking, eating, and working. The actions mentioned previously are actions essential towards the notion of a human being. A brain does not constitute for an embryo or an early fetus allowing for there to be more transparent similarities between a sperm/ova and an embryo/fetus. Adhering to Pro-life logic would allow for one to deem expulsion of sperm to be a signifcation of death. The sperm could have been utilized for reproduction, but the irresponsible male only excerisises the satisfactory perogative. C4-Statistics:j25; In 2008, umarried women accounted for 85% of abortions. j25; Women between the ages of 20-24 accounted for 32% of abortions. j25; Women who have had no prior abortion account for 55% of abortions. j25; Women who make under poverty wage($20,000) account for 60% of abortions. C5-Repercussions of refraining:The last statistic should astound many, because a depletion of 16,500 dollars should occur for the intention to raise a healthy child. 16,500 dollars is the average amount of money spent on a child. The lives of those women would be signifcantly degraded, and the repercussions the abortion being deemed illegal would lead to not only the single mother suffering from destitution, but also the child being destitute. I would request several inquiries on my opponent's perspective on abortion to bolster the awareness in the debate.1. What are the differances between a sperm and a fetus or embryo?2. Do you really believe a human body part is vindication of a human being?3. How do the rights of a fetus outweigh the rights of the mother. 4. Are you content with the fact that many single mothers will suffer destitution if abortion were deemed illegal?
