Abortion Should be Illegal.

Sorry it took me so long to respond i have been pretty busy lately. It really has been a lot of fun debating you so far Peleus. "I feel that making abortion illegal will simply turn women again to unsafe alternatives." One thing that needs to be understood, is this, that most if not all of doctors that commit the abortions are at the "bottom of the food chain" if you will. These doctors usually did poorly in medical school, plus, to become an abortion doctor it takes the least amount of qualifications/requirements to do so, compared to any other kind of doctor. These are some of the reasons why, earlier, in my debate I refereed to the abortion doctors as "drop outs." These are also statements of not only my opinion, but actual facts. Many times as well, abortion doctors are sued for a various amount of problems that went wrong during the procedure. Also, not only can the doctors be "bad doctors," but the physicillaties can be dirty along with the tools used in the procees of an abortion, thus, causing infection to the mother. Peleus, you also talk about drugs, and how they can have a long term effect on the human, such as increase in violence, which in turn would raise the crime rate. The drugs influence people to do violent things obviously because of the drug's power to influence a person's psychological state of mind. So here's where I'm going with this, there have been many cases of women's emotions becoming unstable do to the guilt caused by aborting their own baby. In conclusion to this paragraph, abortion is already a dangerous and risky operation I think that you may have the impression that it is a safe thing. Abortion is already as dangerous as it would be "underground" this is why we must out law it now before it dramatically effects the lives of more women each day. You talk about how abortion, if made illegal, will only open up the door for a woman to go to another country and have the abortion conducted there. You also say, " Only those without financial means (lower social-economic background) will then most likely turn to unsafe alternatives. This also makes one of the unfortunately vulnerable classes of people more susceptible to even more health and medical risks then they already are." Here are a couple things that are wrong with this theory, first of all, If abortion is made illegal in the USA and not in Europe then the amount of abortions would drop dramatically. Why? Because parents or other woman, will not be willing to pay a 3,500$ trip to europe not including the cost and of the abortion plus many problems that could possibly occur with one's insurance company policies. So, one could defiantly say that not only the low class but the middle class would be unwilling to got to another country for an abortion. Also , this will lead to unmarried couples or couples without enough money to support a child, this will force couples to have safe sex thus reducing the women through out America to even need an abortion in the first place. "different people have different opinions of where life begins. There is no right answer to this, simply differing opinions," Let me revise this statement, if life began by the determination of a certain person, then things could get bad. for instance Barrak Obama voted for an abortion bill that allowed the baby to be murderd hours after it was born if it was intended to be aborted anyways. Now, apparently Barrak Obama (our nations president) did not think life began even though the baby was outside the womb of the mother supporting itself- heart beating and brain functioning, I mean how much more alive does a baby need to get before it is considered human. This is the price babies could pay if the mothers opinion was to decide the babies fate. I am also sure if our nation's president believes in this then there are plenty more that do as well. This is why if there is no right answer to when a baby becomes a human that decision making could become more and more sick and demoralizing as time goes on. For instance maybe the time where you could kill a baby goes from hours to days just because the mother thought "well, the baby was supposed to be aborted anyways so there fore it does not have a right to live until I change my mind." Do you see why there must be a standard to this issue and easily the rules could bend and bend and bend. The only logical answer to this issue is that no one should have an abortion in the first place. Life begins when the cells of the baby begin to form into a man. Because is that not what babies continue to do anyways, after coming out of the womb. Here is an example, if a baby is less human than when his/her cells start to divide than 6 months later, then WHY could you not say a 5 year old is less human than a 10 year. I believe that we should not define a hun=man by how developed he/she is but I think people should consider a human a human from the very moment the sperm fertilizes egg all other theories are contradictory and irrelevant. Looking Forward to your response charles15
