Abortion is wrong.

According to www. cirtl. org a whopping 95% of all the 4000 DAILY abortions are done for birth control reasons, as in a girl just "accidental got pregnant" and did not want to take the responsibility for it. Those are some gruesome facts, 4000 children a day are losing their opportunity's at life, 3800 of those just because a woman accidentally got pregnant. Since 4000 babies die each day this means that 1.5 million die each year, 1 baby every 20 seconds and since 1973 approximately 50 million babies have been aborted; that is close to 7 times the amount of deaths in WWI. And remember 95% of these abortions were for "birth control reasons. " Those are sickening facts to even try and comprehend. I Would also like to share some of the stops on the time line. 21 days after conception the heart is pumping blood throughout the body. 30 days after conception she has a brain that has multiplied ten thousand times. 42 days after conception her skeleton has formed and her brain controls movement of muscles and organs 9 weeks after conception she will wrap her fingers around an object. Her fingernails are forming and she is sucking her thumb. By 11 weeks, she makes a wide variety of facial expressions and even smiles. There you have it, abortion clinics will allow a fetus that is already sucking his/her thumb, and smiling to be killed. That seems kind of sickening to me. I do not know how you can not consider it murder when he/she is already smiling and showing other expressions of emotion. As much as a hate to do it, I'm going to slightly contradict one of my earlier "exceptions" Rape does not justify abortions. It is not the babies fault that the mother got raped, there are plenty of pro life organizations our there that will help you put the baby in good hands. There goes your argument. I would like to bring up one of your passages. "One may only assume that you support the murdering of innocent people who's parent was a rapist. " Assuming is ignorant. I never displayed any sense of supporting the murdering of innocent people who's parent was a rapist, but rather showing sympathy for young girls who are in a unfortunate circumstance. Believe me, I think those woman who do go through and have the baby are some of today's heroes. I would and never did mention the act of myself supporting the killing of a rape baby. I would like to share one of the methods doctors use in the act of an abortion. One of the big ways that an abortion procedure is done, is by sticking a tube into a mother's womb and then slowly sucking the baby out, piece by piece, into a container on the opposite end of the tube. The reason the media and everyone else sugar coats abortion is because they don't want to admit how sick and twisted they are. My opponent argues that outlawing abortion is taking away the will of the woman. However he is not taking into consideration that abortion is taking away the will to live of another individual who will now not get the chance of life because a woman does not want to take responsibility for her actions, and will not go through a struggle, so that one can live. Now, since you keep bringing up God and the Bible, so will I. In Romans chapter 8 verse 28 God tells us that all things work together for good. For those who love God and are called according to our purpose And- Jeremiah 29 verse 11 and 12 "for I know the plans I have for you says the lord that they are good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. " Why would anyone want to take away that future and that hope from individuals just because some woman do not want to go through that struggle that is birth. I would also like to look at the other side of the glass. You have only mentioned the struggle that woman go through when they are pregnant. You have not bothered to mention the struggle and the haunt that woman must endure the rest of their lives from having an abortion, as apposed to sticking out through the pregnancy you can feel a sense of accomplishment and righteousness and be happy for what you have fought through. My opponent states "They need consequences. I think that treating children like a consequence or a punishment is beyond the pale. " But what really is "beyond the pale" is allowing any woman who walks into a clinic with 400 bucks to get an abortion, just because she prefers not to have it as opposed to giving birth and having the satisfaction, the love, the memories and the connection of a newborn child. He keeps stating the danger of woman giving birth, lets take a look at the statistics. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, (CDC) maternal deaths occurred at a rate of seven or eight per 100,000 live births every year from 1992 to 2006. The CDC also said half of all such deaths are preventable. And yet 4000 abortions happen ever day in the US. This is a topic of morality not legality, this whole time you have put words in my mouth, I have not suggested that we take the rights away from woman, or make the procedure illegal, I am saying it is wrong, especially on the basis that you may or may not make it through the child birth. As my above data shows, the survival rate of pregnancy is extremely high. What is absolutely wrong, is taking away the opportunity and the hope for individuals. Woman's rights do not justify the killing of thousands of fetuses every day because they don't want to finish what they started. Besides, giving birth is not an unnecessary risk, it is necessary to ensure the survival of the human race. I'd like to thank those that support my side of the debate, and I want to recognize some of the real hero's in our community. Those that, even after a rape case that are willing to go through and have the baby, so that that baby can experience life, are the true heroes, sacrificing something of themselves so that another may have life. I would also like to show appreciation, even just for the woman who weren't being careful but still go through and have the baby. No matter how this debate turns out, if I win or lose, I want to show my appreciation for those individuals with that kind of a heart. Thank you for the debate.
