Abortion as birth control should be illegal.

For ease of reference: Any quote from my opponent shall be bolded, any quote from an outside source shall be italicised. Source numbering continues across rounds, sometimes referencing back to previous sources (as opposed to source spamming the same data with a dozen extra links). Multiple quotes from within a single source, shall have the source listed at the end of that paragraph.While I shall mostly reply in order, one quote stands out too much..."many would argue that you should not have a child if you can't afford one"Agreed."It wouldn't be difficult to check for things like the age of the mother, how far along she is, and whether or not she was a victim of rape or incest."Really? Please explain details on this reliable test on the fetus to determine if it was the offspring of rape.Currently only an estimated 40% of sexual assaults are reported to law enforcement, with only 4% leading to a conviction which is half the rate prosecuted [5]. Of course some anti-abortion legislators actually claim pregnancy is proof that it was not rape [3]. I do not believe Pro falls into that camp, but it shows how scary the legal environment is for the victim."There would be patient confidentiality as always,"Regarding the case of incest, a blood sample is needed from the accused father, throwing confidentiality right out the window."our health care industry that needs to be corrected also"Irrelevant. While I agree, larger changes to society do not affect the issue as it currently stands. It's along the lines of how rape shouldn't be a factor, since rape really shouldn't happen."if she turns out to be lying she should go to jail."Proving that she is lying is pretty hard, and she's already likely in a bad emotional place regardless of if she is lying or not. In our legal system, her honesty would probably often be questioned by whomever has a better lawyer; often further victimizing the victim. Considering that "15% of sexual assault and rape victims are under age 12" and "44% are under age 18" [6], this continues my line of reasoning regarding inequality against the already financially disadvantaged.To bolster this point of inequality, let us consider the infamous R. Kelly trail which was delayed by his lawyers a full six years (which was vital to throwing off Jury recognition of the victim)... He literally made a "27-minute sex tape with an under-age female. But a high-powered defense team convinced the jury of nine men and three women that the identity of the girl was not conclusive." The positive identity of the victim was questioned, not the clear fact that she was under aged (assuming the correct victim, a 12 year old girl). "14 witnesses for the prosecution identified the girl in the tape, and some identified Mr. Kelly as well," another of his under aged victims (who was not filmed) was compared by his highly paid defense team to Satan [7]."Birth control methods mentioned above are 90-99% effective"Yes (aside from the mentioned pull-out-method), but we are talking about government regulation, when the government decides people shouldn't know about those methods [4]."Abortion also has a chance of causing infertility or even infection and death in rare cases."Getting away from the days of underground abortions, myths based on them continue regardless of medical advancement. Today in the United States including from late term, "the death rate for abortion is currently 0.6 per 100 000 procedures, making it as safe or safer than receiving an injection of penicillin." Less than half will ever seek a second abortion. Sadly connecting to the issue in the previous paragraph, "teens are more likely than older women to delay having an abortion until 15 weeks of pregnancy, when the medical risks associated with abortion are significantly higher" [8]."Lifesitenews.com"While the entire site is highly biased, this particular author is off the deep end. She writes "violence against the zombie is reminiscent of violence against the fetus," thus if we are pro life we should not harm zombies (assuming they're real) or watch zombie related films? She also writes "the reason why people are pro-abortion is not because they believe that the fetus isn’t a person, but because they know that the fetus is a person, and they don’t particularly like people" [9]."Townhall.com"1. Slavery is a poor answer to budget problems. And yes demanding people have more kids so that those kids can give offerings to the elder caste is approaching that line. This should already be apparent considering the repeated points about legislators doing social experiments which have been proven to cause increased unplanned pregnancies [4].2. The Roe v Wade connection does not in fact line up if looking at a graph [10]. Education plays a factor, so does economic downturns. Seeing how the drop was already in place before that ruling, you've failed to raise that point to even a decent Post Hoc Fallacy, it barely even qualifies as a Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy.
