Allowing Abortion in every U.S. State

===> I N T R O D U C T I O N <=== Thanks for making this debate on the classic topic of abortion. ===> P R O B L E M S -- W I T H -- R E S O L U T I O N <=== To start off my opponent's entire resolution is vague and does not clearly address the question at which my opponent is hinting at. 90% of his opening argument is emotional pandering to the audience. The only real contention he makes is that a fetus is not a human. There is no logical, nor philosophical backing to the statement. Thus for this round and for the sake of clarity on this broad subject I will ask questions which will hopefully refine this debate onto what my opponent is presenting in his argument. Suggested Resolution: I affirm that a fetus (at x months and x days if applicable) is not a human and thus should not have the right to life. Suggested definitions: My opponent must present his case for what determines humanity. ----> Argument from Logic and Reasoning and Questions to answer to help the debate function more smoothly <---- Is it logic and reasoning as he hinted in his opening round when he stated: "Fetuses cannot think, have emotions, make their own decisions" This is the argument that humanity is derived from thought or reason. -->Questions Does the fetus gain the ability to think at any time at all during development? If not does the fetus then gain cognition directly at birth? At a later time period? Does the ability to reason dictate humanity? Does the ability to have emotion dictate humanity? etc. ----> Argument from Survival <---- You believe that a fetus is human, but that it doesn't deserve the rights as a human because it cannot survive independently of a party that does not want it. In essence this belief is that a mother's right to control her body tramples another humans right to life. Or, as an alternative, you believe that a fetus is not human but that it's humanity is dictated by its ability to survive independently of the mother. -->Questions If the child can survive through the use machines outside the mothers womb does the mother have the right to an abortion? Why should one human's minor rights trample another human's crucial right to life? ----> Argument from Symbolism <---- This is the belief that the symbolism of birth constitutes humanity. That one becomes human and gains rights through the act of birth. ----> Argument from Body Parts <---- Crucial organ x determines humanity. This is the argument that a crucial organ's development (such as the heart, brain, etc. ) determines humanity. My opponent can choose any other argument make any other argument up, these are just a few of the more common arguments used in a "fetus is not a human" debate. ----> Additional Argument <---- In addition to whichever argument my opponent uses, I would also like him/her to present a case on why living(key word) potential human life should be given no inherent right to life. ===> C O N C L U S I O N <=== In conclusion I feel that my opponent has not presented a case that can as yet be debated. 90% of the opening argument was emotional pandering to the audience meant to gain sympathy and not any logical contentions. I need my opponent to expand upon the issues I have with his vague resolution so that this debate can be a good debate where there is a clear winner/loser and not simply members of this site voting one side or the other based upon their pre-set opinions. Therefore I need a clear resolution with clear contentions.
