Abortion

You don't know who it will be, or what their situation is you are not in there shoes and you never will be the question posed today is not whether you like abortion, but whether you think people should be able to make those kinds of choices for themselves. It's easy to say it's "killing babies" -- once you've defined it that way, you don't have to think any more, you can send your brain back out on vacation, and if anyone ever suggests that people should be able to make this kind of decision for themselves, just remember the phrase "baby killers." Because baby killers are bad. People who want to allow baby-killing are bad. Now the world is black and white again. Night-night, brain. The issue cannot be black and white in an educated society Elisabeth Rosenthal states " A comprehensive global study of abortion has concluded that abortion rates are similar in countries where it is legal and those where it is not, suggesting that outlawing the procedure does little to deter women seeking it.” The study here is from World Health Organization in Geneva and the Guttmacher Institute in New York, this shows us that it does not matter legal or not woman will do it. By making it legal we are only making it safer and making it fair and equitable.Ok since this is the final speech all i will be doing here is giving voter issues since and a two world comparison. Voters: 1. Evidence: My opponent misinterprets the Constitution through out her entire case. She claims that Roe vs. Wade is exhausted but provides no alternative court case that interprets the constitution in the way that she has. The reason for this is there are none. She continually asks why Roe vs. Wade is a big deal. Ok so this is why its a big deal it is a supreme court case that hasn’t been over turned or even tested successfully therefore it is entirely relevant and it supports really only the pro side of todays debate. She tries to offer up random websites as sources and Albert Einstein! since when is Albert Einstein a lawyer or even a professional capable of determining what is moral or not? this source doesn’t stand and anything’s he got from him should be dropped. She sites the 14th amendment. If she had bothered to read Roe vs. Wade for herself she would have seen that the 14th amendments is exactly what makes abortion a Connsitiuional right. Because e she couldn’t be bothered to really investigate my evidence or provide real and reliable sources of her own she should loose todays debate on evidential education. Lets just look at my sources again Doctors: Dr. Van look, gynecologist 75 years, Dr. Waldo L. Feilding 80 years gynocologist,Dr. Paul Van social psychologist from W.H.O. Department of Reproductive Health and Research Roe Vs. Wade supreme court case that states teh 14th ammenmnate protects a woman’s right to an abortion 14th amendment Sharon Camp, chief executive of the Guttmacher Institute. New York Times Guttchar institute 2. Hypocrisy:Shee literally says the words "is a human" "is not a human" I said thsi in my secound speech she cant have access to both argument she needs to make a choice. Because she iddnt and because she just contunied to keep it as the way it was before her case basically refutes itself and is some what of a moving target so she should simply be voted down for that because she would only have one very weak poit standing if she did not try to have acess to both of these arguments. SHe really cannot do thsi any fourm of debate not just parli.3. Harms: My harms outweigh her supposed benefits:~Back ally abortions causing more deaths because more woman would die and if you are considering them human so would babies. This is not a slippery slope because I do have evidence to back this thus it cannot be a slippery clop because it isn’t even a logical argument it is a factual argument "Almost any implement you can imagine had been and was used to start an abortion — darning needles, crochet hooks, cut-glass salt shakers, soda bottles, sometimes intact, sometimes with the top broken off.” from WALDO L. FIELDING, M.D. gynecologist for 80 years. Dr. Van Look said. “And the opposite is also true: where it is illegal, it is likely to be unsafe, performed under unsafe conditions by poorly trained providers.”20 million abortions that would be considered unsafe are performed each year and that 67,000 women die as a result of complications from those abortions, most in countries where abortion is illegal. ~ Breaking the constitution would be terrifying would be huge step backward in the woman’s rights movement because their rights and their rights alone would be violated. Specifically their right to privacy stated in the 14th amendment. not only this but it would be making their lives more dangerous as i stated before psychologists found out a long time ago that punishment is not a very effective way to modify behavior. This is the perfect example; making it a crime does not make anybody choose not to do it, it just means that more women will die from it. Woman who are going to get an abortion are going to find a way to get an abortion no matter what and by violating there 14th amendment right we are showing the world that as a country we do not care about our women. In response to her benefits she says they’ll be safer sex. Hey, there's an idea. Stop having sex except when you want to make babies. Hey, brilliant idea, yeah, that'll work. Let's just get people to stop having sex. That would take care of a whole lot of problems in the world. I wonder why somebody hasn't thought of that already. And let's make people be nice to each other, too, and keep their elbows off the table. In response to her last benefit we’ve already established they are not human ROE VS WADE, 14th amendment people. Don’t buy that the Merrimu Webster dictionary, the American journal of science all agree with me.Two World Comparisons: Even if you are not convinced by any of my voting issues I would now like to present a two world comparisons basically turning what both sides have said into a reality and comparing them.Con world: Abortion is illegal and hundreds of thousands of woman have their 14th amendment violated. There many back ally abortions and thousands of woman die from unsuccessful ones. The woman’s rights movement takes a huge hit and woman no longer have control of their own bodies.Pro World: The Constitution is upheld and woman are treated as full citizens. AS a whole less woman die and woman are treated as people. We do not go against our for fathers and we do not go against the logical science that has made abortion legal. We support our woman and show the world that we a are a strong nation that is capable of taking care of our women. What we see from this comparison is that probation is not effective Prohibition of alcohol was a failure. In an ideal world, society would probably be better off without alcohol. However, we do not live in an ideal world. When the supply of a product is made illegal without a dramatic reduction in the demand, the market will just be forced underground. Huge profits will incentivize people to meet this demand. We do not live in a ideal world that is a sad fact but a true one and my opponent and you voters must understand that. I am not arguing or drugs but a 2012 study by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime shows that 8 out of the top 9 countries with the highest murder rates are in the Americas and are heavily involved in the illegal drug trade. This suggests that current prohibition of drugs must also be reconsidered based on its real consequences in this complex world we live in. History has shown over and over again that misguided, idealistic policies can actually cause more harm than good. Prohibition of abortion would be equally as tragic, as it would force women who disagree with this policy to drive to the closest state that allows abortion to get a safe operation. If the woman lacks the resources, she would be forced to find a black market solution to the service.In closing: It is important to note that Roe v. Wade did not mean that abortions could be performed. They have always been done, dating from ancient Greek days. Meaning that what Roe said was that ending a pregnancy should be carried out by medical personnel, in a medically acceptable place, thus conferring on women, finally, the full rights of first-class citizens — and freeing their doctors to treat them as such. TO treat woman with the dignity and choice that they in the constitution are guaranteed. Making it illegal doesn't prevent women from having the procedure done, it just makes it more dangerous, the alleyway instead of the sterile doctor's office. Thus I strongly urge you to vote in firm of the affirmation simply because the harms of making abortion illegal far outweigh the benefits that don’t seem to exist. Thank you all for your time.
