abortion

I will be arguing that abortion should not continue. Definitions: Murder- the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another. [2]Justice- just behavior or treatment. [3]Posterity- the offspring of one progenitor to the furthest generation; all future generations [4] Rebuttals:1) Lets start from the top. My opponent states: "i think its wrong to FORCE any woman that you will never meet to do or not do anything. "Well I believe that it is wrong to force a child not to live. People do not have a right over someone else's life. Last time I checked, I wouldn't be very happy if my mom aborted me, as I would not get the chance to live and experience life. 2) My opponent also states: "by saying that you are "pro life", if you are not aware, means that you believe the government should not only have a say in a women's decision of whats right to do with her body and her child, but that it should have the only say[. .. ]"I believe my opponent does not know the role of government. Here is the preamble to the Constitution of the United States: "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. "[1] I will now show how the government does have a say. The preamble states that its role is to establish justice. According to the definition provided above, murder is not a just behavior or treatment. I see it just the opposite. How is this murder you say? Well a growing baby, no matter the stage, is still human, and is still alive. By aborting it, you are killing a living human. Another item the preamble mentions is securing the blessings of Liberty to our posterity. If the definition of posterity is correct as above, the baby is entitled to the blessings of liberty. How can it receive these liberties if it is dead because someone violated its rights? Therefore, the government does have a place in abortion because it needs to protect the rights of that baby guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States. Furthermore, because this guarantees these rights to the future generations, abortion should be illegal. 3) Another statement made by my opponent is: ", whether they [the government] know what the woman has went through, what the baby is going through, or what storms they will each have to weather through their lives"I am not quite sure what he is trying to say, but it is still no excuse for murder.4) Pro also stated: "the woman knows more about what is the right decision for her and her baby than someone who will most likely never meet either of them ever will. and you will realize that they made the right decision. "I find this logic flawed. Why would the right decision for the baby be killing it? How does she know what her baby wants? She doesn't. The baby cannot express itself. It cannot defend itself. It is the mother's responsibility to nurture, and care for her baby. Statements:Most of my beliefs have already been stated in the rebuttals. I will quickly sum them up:-the woman does not have rights over the baby, she has a responsibility to protect its rights-What would the baby what? Once again, it is defenseless, and cannot express itself. -Governments DO have say in abortion. It falls under the jurisdiction of the preamble, and can also be found relate able throughout the Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, etc. Once again, I wish Pro luck.
