Abortion is a Violation of Human Rights

Thank you for accepting.I will start by countering Con's first argument. The concept of the Mother governing her child implies only in setting rules and restrictions appropriate to raising the child. The concept of the child having no rights unless the mother decides to grant the privilege is ownership and servitude.1: OwnershipThe concept of owning another person is unconstitutional and violates the Constitution and UN laws and acts both signed and ratified by the United States.Amendment XIVAll persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.(1)The 14th Amendment claims in the following:"...nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property..."This implies no human may be denied his fair liberties, including life. It doesn't imply citizenship or being natural-born, or any being born. It says 'any person', so it applies to anyone who falls into the bottom definitions.Person: noun:a human being, whether man, woman, or child.:a human being as distinguished from an animal or a thing.(2):human, individual "sometimes used in combination especially by those who prefer to avoid man in compounds applicable to both sexes(3)Person: nounAs defined by the Legal Dictionary::In general usage, a human being; by statute, however, the term can include firms, labor organizations, partnerships, associations, corporations, legal representatives, trustees, trustees in Bankruptcy, or receivers.(4)If a baby is, by definition, human, it is a person. This grants it the liberties of the 14th Amendment. If the child is human, it's also granted liberties by the United Nations. For this we must prove it's Human.[1] http://constitutioncenter.org...[2] http://dictionary.reference.com...[3] http://www.merriam-webster.com...[4] http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com...[]2: Is it Human?The sperm and egg carry 23 Chromosomes each. Human's have 46 chromosomes(5). At conception, the two create a Zygote, which has 46 Human Chromosomes. The DNA is human. By extension, this means the Zygote is human, even if it's only one cell at this time.(6,7)At conception, the Zygote is genetically human. Since our species is determined by our DNA, as evolution would support, having Human DNA makes it human. We know this because our DNA is 99% the same as a chimpanzee's. It's less than a percent that separates us.(8) With that, we know that what determines our species is if the DNA blueprint is that of a human.Being genetically human means the baby is Human, and (even by the Legal Dictionary) that the baby is a person, even at conception.[5] http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov...[6] http://www.biologycorner.com...[7] http://www.healthline.com... [8] http://www.scientificamerican.com...[]3: Is the Baby alive?Being alive is determined by Biology's 7 Signs of Live. Of course those signs don't apply to a One Celled Organism. We will discuss that later.Biologist have generally accepted 4 signs, and debate on 6 others. Instead of making a list of the 10 Signs, they seem to stick with lists of 7.(9)The Signs are as follow:1- HomeostasisThe placenta helps most in Homeostasis by providing the baby with oxygen-rich blood, while hormones and body functions are handled by the babies body.(10)2- OrganizationThe cell of a Zygote has organized Organelles inside it..Since the early stages of being a Blastocyst, (usually 4-5 days of conception) the fetus is composed of many cells.(10)3- MetabolismA baby takes in a supply of nutrients through the umbilical cord, placenta, and amniotic sac. Where the baby gets it's nutrients is irrelevant. Everyone takes in an external supply, and few living things produce their own food internally, including humans.(12,13)4- GrowthThe baby will show continuous growth for 9 straight months. It starts growing from day one to the time it's born.(14)5- ResponseA baby will react to its environment like any other human. A study (in link below) revealed that a baby will move in reaction to noise. This is sign that a baby shows response to its environment.(15)6- AdaptionThe same study later found that over the course of the study, a baby would start to remember the noise, and would stop reacting to it.(15)7- ReproductionA baby is part of a species that can fully reproduce. A baby itself cannot reproduce much like a 3 year old child can't. It's not that it can't, it's that it's too young in its development to.8- ExcretionA baby does get rid of waste the normal way... While their waste is a little different than ours, it comes and goes the same way and for the same reason.Although a baby will usually hold in anything that isn't urine until birth, it can, and commonly does defecate inside the womb.(16)9- MovementA baby is known for moving. Within a relatively short period, they are kicking and twisting inside the womb.(17) 10- RespirationA fetus breaths, in a sense, the fluid around it. The lungs do not process the fluids, but the breathing is important to a fetus. The actual respiration (intake of oxygen) comes from the mother"s blood through the umbilical cord. The process of respiration is clearly found in the fetus.(18)We find that a baby follows all 10 possible signs of life that Biologists accept. The baby fitting into all 10 signs means it's alive.To determine if a One Celled Organism is alive, scientists place it in a medium it can live in. If it's begins cell division, it's considered alive. Since, when put in the proper medium, a Zygote begins cell division, we know it's alive even at that stage.As a one celled organism, the Zygote is determined alive and human, and continues to be as it progresses. Ending the life of a living human without a probably cause or with a reasonable doubt is murder and a violation of Human Rights.[9] http://www.bbc.co.uk...[10] http://www.healthcaremagic.com...[11] http://www.nlm.nih.gov...[12] http://www.livestrong.com...[13] http://www.reproduction-online.org...[14] http://www.babycenter.com...[15] http://abcnews.go.com...[16] http://www.fitpregnancy.com...[17] http://www.whattoexpect.com...[18] http://www.livestrong.com... []3: The Universal Declaration of Human RightsThe Universal Declaration of Human Rights, both signed and ratified by the United States, says in the following Articles.Article IIEveryone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty.Article VIEveryone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law.Article IIIEveryone has the right to life, liberty and security of person.Article II claims that everyone (all humans) have the rights listed in the Declaration without distinction of any kind. Article VI says that even if you don't like it, the Government must recognize everyone (all humans) as persons. Article III says everyone has the right to Life and Liberty.(19)With this, we can conclude the following;:The Zygote is genetically Human. :Therefore; The Zygote must be recognized as a person, and is granted all rights in the Declaration. :Therefore; The Zygote is granted Right to Life and Liberty.:Therefore; Abortion is a Violation of Human Rights by violating the rights of a Zygote as is determined by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.:The Baby is genetically Human. :Therefore; The Baby must be recognized as a person, and is granted all rights in the Declaration. :Therefore; The Baby is granted right to Life and Liberty.:Therefore; Abortion is a Violation of Human Rights by violating the rights of a Baby as is determined by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.Before I pass it on to Con...Return to Section 1: OwnershipThe 13th Amendment of the Declaration of Independence and Article 4 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights:The 13th AmendmentNeither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.(1)Article 4No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms.(19)Servitude::A state of subjection to an owner or master.(20)Since servitude is the act of being owned or lacking freedom, and servitude is Illegal, it would be both unconstitutional and illegal for a mother to own their child. As is written in the Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the human Baby is recognized as it's own person, granted Right to Liberty and Life, outside the mother's control.[19] http://www.un.org...[20] http://www.thefreedictionary.com...[]=======================I now pass it on.
