Given my knowledge on abortion, if it is legal then it will benefit the mother. If abortion is legal then it will create a safe way for a mother to abort her baby and it will give the mother the ability to decide what she wants to do with her body. Abortion has been legal since the United States Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade, on January 22, 1973, where women were given their personal rights to decide on what they would like to do to their bodies, which has led to safe ways to abort a mother's baby; therefore abortion should be legal, presumably, unless abortion brings harm to the mother.

Abortion should be legal.

Abortion is a very controversial issue in the United States, as well as in several developed nations of the world. I come forward with a position that is even more controversial. I believe abortion should be legalized. But not only during the first trimester, or limited to rape and incest cases, but rather throughout the pregnancy of a woman, whatever her reason for aborting is. I take an evictionist point of view, according to which the womb of a mother should remain the woman's property as it is her body, and an unborn child does not have the right to occupy it without consent.

Abortion should be legal in every case, even late-term

Abortion is legal, and should remain legal because it is a woman's right.

Abortion should remain legal in the United States.

Yes. Abortion should be legal but only in very specific scenarios. I am sorry that you had to go through that whole deal with being left at an adoption center. Look at it this way, at least you are alive. You can make a difference in the world. Don't let anyone tell you anything different. Everyone is here for a reason, its just up to you to decide why. You need to write your own story. Thanks for the sporty debate, even when I wasn't necessarily arguing correctly.

Abortion should be legal.

So you agree that abortion should be legal? And thanks for the rape scenario opinion.

Abortion should be legal.

Thousands of American women died and thousands more were maimed before abortion was legal. For this reason and others, women and men fought for and achieved women's legal right to make their own decisions about abortion. However, there are people in our society who still won't accept this. Some argue that even victims of rape or incest should be forced to have the child. And now, having failed to convince the public, certain of these people have become violent, engaging in a campaign of intimidation and terror aimed at women seeking abortions and health professionals who work at family-planning clinics. Some say these acts will stop abortions, but that is ridiculous. But, the same urgent reasons will exist for safe, legal abortions as have always existed.

I accept, but first definitions.Abortion- the removal of an embryo or fetus from the uterus in order to end a pregnancy.Plus, I would like to clarify that we are talking about abortion should stay legal in the U.S.Good Luck to my opponent.

Abortion Should be Legal

Abortion should remain legal, because it's the right for a women to do what she wants to her own body because of either unplanned pregnancy, deformed baby, or the possibility of harm to the woman from the pregnancy. I also think that the Freedom of Choice Act should be signed.

Abortion Should Remain Legal

I believe that abortion should be kept legal. Abortion where it concerns the invidivual woman is a health and life choice. Abortion where it concerns society is a legal and/or political issue. The moral or religious oppinions of a third person - should not have an affect on the law or the health care choices of another individual. Women should not be forced - by government officials - to gestate and birth feoti agianst thier will.

Abortion should be kept legal

My position on this topic is that abortion should be allowed. I feel that it is a woman's natural right to choose. I am looking forward to hearing someone who disagrees as well as why they disagree, in order to understand different viewpoints. Thank you c:

Abortion should be legal

It is my belief that it is a mothers natural inherited right to choose rather or not to terminate a pregnancy.

Abortion should be legal.

Abortion should be legal. Regardless of whether the fetus is classified as a human, it is not wrong to have an abortion. The woman has a right to her body and her life. Denying her the write to an abortion is wrong.

First off, sorry I forfieted. I completely forgot about the debate because I had lots of work to do. Anyway, for my closing statement.Abortion should be legal. Mothers to be are dying from failed pregnancies, and because of abortions, they are surviving. If we take that freedom away, mothers will die, leaving the baby with a very bad chance of survival. Abortion equals good!

abortion should be legal

Hello. I would like to start a debate on the topic of abortion to see where people stand on it and hear their opinions. I personally believe that it is a woman's right to choose weather to terminate her pregnancy or not and that making abortion illegal would not stop women from looking to get abortions and that unprofessional and unsafe abortions can cause women infections and death. Please tell me your stance and your reason(s) for it.

Abortion should stay legal

Hello, I'm just a 13 year old kid who just like to debate. So the argument is abortion should be legal because people can choose to have a kid or not, and forcing them can suffer the child and the parent. Making it illegal will make women who want to abort go to dangerous place that can harm them and possibly kill them. Unborn baby only feel pain at 20 weeks and most of these abortion is when the women life is in danger.

Abortion should be legal

Abortion is the terminating of a pregnancy due to the removal of an embryo or fetus before it can survive outside of the uterus. When I say "All Abortion" I mean that women should have the right to choose to abort a pregnancy in any circumstance as long as the pregnancy has not lasted more than the current legal period of 20 weeks. Abortion post-20 weeks risks causing pain and suffering to a conscious human being which could survive outside the womb and thus is immoral.

All Abortion should be legal up to 20 weeks of pregnancy

Women should have the option of having an abortion, either because they are unable to take care of the child, they were raped, it is an unwanted child, or because they know they have drug problems. QUESTION: Whether you are for or against abortion, how should the idea of abortion be avoided, where both sides compromise? In others, what is a solution?

Abortion should be legal

Ill wait for a response.

Abortion should be legal.

1. Abortion is murder. The killing of an innocent human is wrong, even if the human hasn't been born. 2. Abortion is the killing of a human being which defies God. This is the 6th commandment thou shall not kill. Abortion is breaking that commandment. 3. Abortions cause psychological damage a 2008 review study showed that young woman who go abortion increase risk for depression. 4. Abortion reduces number of adoptable babies. If parents don't want them give them to an orphanage. With that I end my post

Should abortion be legal

I accept. Good luck.

Abortion

Hello to my opponent. I would like to set some ground rules and regulations for this debat, then explain my stance. I DO NOT want this to be a debat about the MORALITY of abortion, but rather, whether it should be legal in the US. I am fine with morality used as an argument, but not as a debate topoc. Beyond that, sources are not the primarily most important thing, but should be used, nevertheless, and also NO BASHING (ie you are pro-choice, you moraless b@$!ard!). This round is for acceptance of the debate. Definitions pro-choice: the mindset that a woman has the right to abortion. This does not mean a pro-choicer thinks abortion is moral, just that a woman has the right to one. pro-life: The mindset that abortion should be illegal. abortion: The act of aborting a baby VOLUNTARILY. Not a miscarriage. Thank you

Abortion should be legal.

I accept your challenge :D

Abortion Should Be Legal

abortion should be legal

abortion

Abortion should be entirely legal, although it should never be paid for by taxpayers. The simple fact that it is the mothers choice to terminate an UNBORN child/fetus, and she can afford to pay for the procedure is good enough reason to keep abortion legal.

Abortion

Abortion should be legal because:1. Some woman have certain circumstances where abortion is needed, for example rape, incest, abuse etc.2. It is not the job of the goverment to decide whether or not a woman can have an abortion. 3. If a woman even wants an abortion, the baby is unwanted. It is better to terminate a small blood cell, then to let it grow up unwanted or in a bad environment.

Abortion should be OK

I believe that abortion is not an absolute evil, but rather a necessary evil. But please, since you started the debate, you make the first argument sir/madam, and I will respond in kind with a rebuttal and counter-argument. :)

Should abortion be legal

Abortion is, and should be legal in most cases. The right of the mother to make her own health decisions must always be protected. Making abortion illegal will not help to stop the procedure, it will just move the location to a more unsafe environment.

Abortion

I believe as a society we can come to the conclusion that abortion is an absolute evil on the same level as murder. It should therefore not only be unavailable but criminal.

Should abortion be legal

Abortion is completely monstrous and immoral. Just because the woman's body is hers, doesn't mean the beating heart in her whom is. No matter if it's her body or not, it should still be considered murder. So many girls murder their innocent,defenseless, barely developed fetus, no way to fend or fight.

Should abortion be legal

Ok, here's the deal. I was looking over this trying to decide what I want to say for my next argument, and I realized something. I am arguing the right point in the wrong debate. What I am saying is that abortion is wrong. You are saying abortion should be legal. Well, I agree. Abortion should be legal because if it isn't, we end up with really bad scenarios like in Dirty Dancing (Yes, I have seen that movie). When people need abortions, they go to the back allies and get some half wit who just got his medical license revoked to cut them open and take out the baby. Well, that isn't safe. Abortion should be legal, but there should be tons of regulations on getting one. For example, rape. If you get raped, that is one way you should be ALLOWED an abortion. But if you are a 25 year old woman who got knocked up a month before her wedding, to bad. No abortion for you just because you want to look good in your wedding dress. What I am trying to say is we are both right. Abortion is wrong but unfortunately should be legal so that when someone NEEDS it, they have access to it and don't have to go to some shady guy in a back alley. I probably won't make a next round argument as I have nothing to argue for. My point doesn't belong in this debate, and I should have thought about it more before I jumped in.

Abortion should be legal.

Should abortion be legal? Thank you for posting this question, I actually had conversation about this subject with my sister. I also believe that abortion is morally wrong, yet we live in a country that secures too many freedoms to take away abortion. If we take away the freedom for a woman to have an abortion, anyone can make the argument to take away any other freedoms. What if someone's religion is that you must have a male be your first born (which it is in some cultures). If abortion is illegal than that would contradict the 1st amendment in the constitution saying that we must have freedom of religion. If we don't have freedom of religion than what was the purpose of the founding of this country. Most of the people left Europe to the United States for freedom of religion. As much as I think abortion is a morally wrong thing, I don't get a say to what people have a right and wrong to do. People have to have their freedoms and without abortion, some might not get religious freedom.

Should abortion be legal

Abortion should definitely be legal. . Many arguments against that statement would be that she would be killing an innocent life that cannot speak for itself, but by oppressing the right of a woman's decision, you are in fact limiting that right to the speech of a born citizen. It does not make sense to limit the right of speech for those who are born and make conscious decisions for those not born. It may not be practical for the women to kill her infant and she could give up her baby for adoption, but after delivery, a mother will feel the need to take care of the baby as her own, which usually is not practical for her financial state. Most women, around 83.4% , who opt for adoption are either in high school, or in a financial state not able to provide for her child, causing an increase in the individual's poverty line. According to the 14th Amendment, we all have equal rights, and since the baby can not live outside of its mother, the mother must be able to choose over her body,

I'm happy to see you change of heart on the topic. It always saddens me when I hear people that they are pro for human life, and yet they are all for abortion. I hope we could change that one day. If you have or anyone else viewing have any questions addressing Abortion, I would be happy to give you my best answer. Thank You! :D

Abortion should be legal

The legality behind abortion is very clear. Our "unalienable rights" -- as implicitly stated in the Constitution -- ensure us "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Without legalizing abortion, women wouldn't be granted the right to care for their own bodies and make decisions regarding their unborn child/children.

Abortion should be legal.

Abortions should be completely up to the person that is pregnant. It is their body and they should be able to decide whether or not they would like to keep the baby. While putting a child up for adoption may be free, someone that is looking to adopt has to spend a lot of money just to be considered. Along with that, a lot of children are left unadopted. There are approximately half a million children (possibly adults, as well), currently in foster care. The mother would be expected to endure lots of pain during the nine months while being pregnant. Someone could never be fully aware of the financial situations of the expecting parents. Bills aren't cheap and caring for a child on top of that could put some in financial debt or make it nearly impossible to care for a child, either leaving them neglected, or there being no food, no power, etc. Contraceptives are not always effective either. Condoms, while they are roughly 85%-98% effective that doesn't cover for all the time. The right to decide on abortion is similar to telling a person whether or not they can get a tattoo. At the end of the day, it is their body and their choice and what they want to do with it should be up to them and no one else in society or otherwise should be able to have an opinion on that or change that.

Abortion should be legal

Restrictions placed on abortion by U.S. lawmakers have no factual or substantial reasoning. A woman's bodily autonomy should be her decision only, and she has the right to terminate her own pregnancy for any reason. Abortion is necessary for many women that become pregnant, and taking away reasonable access will only harm the woman (and possibly her potential child.)

Abortion Should Be Legal and Unrestricted

This argument is to be made without god. Abortion has been around long before conventional medicine, by restricting women the right to have an abortion, they will revert back to these dangerous methods that will either disfigure the fetus, kill it, or kill the mother. By allowing women access to contraceptives and abortions, the number of abortions would both decrease, and the ones that exist will be much safer. Having an abortion will lead to a greater quality in life for both the mother and the child she may have later on. Saying that the fetus should be carried to term and given up for adoption, is not the best option. It puts more pressure on the foster care system and it is a hard decision to make.

Abortion Should be Legal

Cheers.

Abortion should be legal

Abortion is the taking away of human life. Ever heard the saying "You will miss every single shot you don't take"? That can be applied here. If you kill your child (which is exactly what you are doing), that child will never grow up to be anything. What if that child was going to be the next Albert Einstein? What if they were going to cure cancer? There is no way of knowing unless you allow your child to be born and allow life to take its course. On top of taking away a human's life, you are just being selfish. What right do you have to claim that a human life is more important than you? Even in rape cases, that child is a blessing. Have the child and give it to an adoption clinic or to a family that wants a child but can't have one. Just about every option is better than aborting. Abortion is wrong. I understand that this is probably shorter than what people are used to seeing, but there really isn't much more that needs to be said. Abortion should not be legal.

Abortion should be legal.

Abortion should be legal because if a woman doesn't want to have a child than she should have the right to prevent herself from having one. If the government bans abortion then they would be forcing a woman to have a child. If a pregnant woman doesn't have an abortion then she is going to have a child. So if the government takes away that right then pregnant women will have no choice but to have a child. Adoption is a option that is not used often after a woman gives birth to a child. Most women don't want to put their child up for adoption. If the government bans abortion then some women will have an unsafe abortion. More women will have an unsafe abortion if abortion is illegal. Every year approximately 78,000 women die from unsafe abortion. If abortion is legal then less unsafe abortions will occur. Abortion is a safe medical procedure. 88% of women who have an abortion do so in their first trimester. Medical abortions have less than 0.5% risk of serious complications and do not affect a woman's health or future ability to become pregnant or give birth. The government should make sure that late term abortion is safe. The fetus is in the woman's body so therefore the government should not control their bodies. Banning abortion is bad for women and is anti-women's rights.

Abortion should be legal

I think it should because if a woman is raped she shouldn't have to have the baby.

should abortion be legal at all

Abortion is not immoral and it should be legal.

Abortion Should Be Legal

Okay, I'll take a stab at it. I will be arguing why "Abortion should not be legal". I would like to request some rules to be implemented into the argument: Do not ask questions that you cannot answer. Please list sources of your information at the end of each paragraph, and if you came up with it, then say, "by - MyName" at the end of the paragraph. Let the debate begin.

Abortion should be legal

Many people agree that abortion should be legal under some circumstances (i.e. if the girl is raped). Others argue that abortion should be legal for minors, only if they are able to obtain consent from their parent or legal guardian. But does the government have the right to control what a girl does to her own body? Does the government have jurisdiction over any person's own body and what happens to it? I do not believe it does. By controlling the circumstances under which a woman can have an abortion the government is essentially controlling the rest of her life for her. The descion to get an abortion can effect her education, her chance to be employed, and even her relationship with other people in her life. I do not believe that a government body (especially one that is overwhelmingly masculine) has any right to decide a woman's life for her.

Abortion should be legal.

I am FOR Abortion. Abortion should be legal at all points during pregnancy. I believe a woman has the right to decide what to do with HER body. A fetus is not a human being when it is conceived; I believe it is considered a human being and is given all the rights we have when it leaves the womb and enters the world. Abortion is not murder because the baby is not a person yet! Abortion should be legal in every case, such as when having the baby will kill the mother, or even if the baby is just an inconvenience and the mother does not want it. Murder is killing anyone from the day they LEAVE THE WOMB to the day they die. Fetus' cannot live without the assistance of their mothers and therefore they are not living, breathing people yet!

Abortion

Abortions should be legal

Abortion should be legal, Because women have the right to control the uses of their own body, And they shouldn"t be forced to have children and raise them if they don"t want to, Nor should they be forced to go through with the scars and pain of childbirth if their life is at risk or the babies is. Abortion should also be legal because of complications like rape or child marriage, Children shouldn"t be forced to have children.

I will be taking the Pro side of the debate: "Abortion shold be legal." First and foremost I would like to thank the Con for the opportunity to debate this topic! I would like to take this opportunity to define the argument further and common terminology that will be used. DefinitionsAbortion: : the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus. b : induced expulsion of a human fetus [1]Legal: Permitted by law. [2]Argument structure:Abortion has a number of gray areas, one common one which the Con defined in her first argument was that of rape. If it is amiable to the Con, I would like to look only at black and white of the subject and leave the gray areas be. The argument will be looked at only in terms of legality. I look forward to the debate!Sources:1.) http://www.merriam-webster.com... 2.)https://www.google.com...

Should Abortion Be Legal

I accept. Thanks to tejretics for the challenge.

Abortion should be legal

I believe that abortion is wrong and should be illegal. Life starts at conception. The only reason I believe this is because it is the only constant point to measure from and it is at the exact point of when a new life is made. It is now open to anyone to argue that it should be legal and I am open to having my mind changed, if there is good evidence and reasoning. If you have come to just be hateful I ask that you keep scrolling for another topic. -Thank you

Abortion Should Be Illegal

I will be arguing that abortion should be legal. Definitions:Abortion: the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus. Rebuttal 1: My opponent states that a person who wants an abortion shouldn't have gone out an gotten pregnant in the first place. By my opponent has yet to explain what's so wrong with getting an abortion because of an accidental pregnancy. There's no basis for her argument. The argument is also flawed. Some women are forced to have a baby due to being raped. Telling this woman she cannot get an abortion is wrong because she did not have any say in the matter to get pregnant. It would also force the raped person to live with a condition she was not prepared for. Termination of a fetus should be acceptable in this case. I will start the rest of my debate in Round 2. Good luck, 1dustpelt, may this debate serve to be an informative one and I hope to learn a lot by researching the topic.

Abortion should be illegal.

Abortions should be legal as Personhood begins after a fetus becomes viable or after birth, not at conception. According to the U.S. Supreme Court a person is to get their age when they are out of the mother's womb and breathing oxygen starting at the 0 mark eventually working their way up to be 1 years old.

Should abortion be legal

I dont believe abortion should be legal unless two situations exist, rape or the mothers life is in danger. Abortion shouldnt be an option for young women (or older women) who dont wish to be burdened with carrying and delivering a child. Especially with the numerous forms of birth control for little or no cost.

Abortion

Abortion should remain legal; in all states. Making abortions illegal would be a violation of our constitution. The fourteenth amendment, a part of our constitution, clearly states, "nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property." Women's bodies are just that, women's. They should not be deprived of doing as they see fit with their body. It goes against what our country was founded on- freedom. Freedom to choose. Freedom to choose our president, senators, religion, and opinions. And what we want to do with our bodies. Abortion is a choice, a personal choice, that women should be able to make for themselves. Our country also faces population issues. If abortion became illegal, they would only grow worse. This is a serious issue. I'm not pro-death, I am pro-choice.

Abortion should be legal in all states.

Abortion should be legal because a woman should be able to make her own decisions. They have to carry a baby for 10 months, then deliver, and then take care of them for the rest of their lives. Plus, raising a child is not an easy job, according to all parents, they are needy since the day they are born. If someone doesn't have the appropriate living conditions or they don't have enough money to raise a child, they should be able to decide weather they want to have a child or not. 1) http://www.psychologicalscience.org... 2) https://www.guttmacher.org...

Abortion

I oppose all of your resolution. Abortion should be legal as long as the fetus isn't viable outside the womb. Until that time it is up to the woman to decide what she wants to do with her body including any living beings living off of her body.

Abortion

I accept.

Abortion should be legal

My arguments against abortion: Abortion is killing a fetus. A fetus is human and alive therefore it is a human life. Killing an innocent human life is murder. Murder is wrong. Therefore abortion is wrong. The right to life is more important than the right to end a pregnancy. The right to life is more important than convenience to the mother. Adoption is a great alternative that does not involve killing. Fetuses develop quickly. For example, in 8 weeks the eyes, nose, mouth, and tongue have formed. Electrical brain activity begins at week 6. By week ten the fetus can make bodily movements. The heart begins to circulate blood at day 22. We can establish that fetuses being aborted have the basic features of a human life [1]. Lack of development is not an argument for abortion because a newborn is far less developed than an adult but has the same right to life. 1: http://frc.org...

Abortion should be legal in the United States

Abortion should be legalized because when you deal with "circumstance" it becomes tricky. The usual argument is if a woman gets raped or incest occurs, she should get an abortion. What about sex salves (By force) and a pregnancy that can go bad? If a woman needs to have an abortion, she will know it because it is her body. The doctors they attend will also give expert advice.

Abortion Shouldn't be Legal, 50-60 Million Soon to be lives were killed, but it isn't the woman's fault if they were raped, the rapist should be forced to take care of the family even if they are poor or jobless.

Should Abortion Be Legal

Definition Abortion: 'The termination of pregnancy performed in the first 28 weeks of pregnancy' Abortion is a very cruel way to handle with pregnancy yet the women has no right to take abortion. 1) A fetus is created inside the women's and is a unburned creation performed in the first 8 weeks of pregnancy. The fetus inside women is a baby being created. Not only that your killing the baby with Abortion but some women intend to . Die when taking Abortion . They feel more depressed and gain more stress . They could also be sent to prison While taking abortion all these facts I listed above could happen. If I was a women I rather take the pain then die or get sent to jail. When killing a child during the abortion process it is also murder and murder is against the law. This is taking a life away from a innocent child and this also makes a women feel bad. If you don't want the baby you can place it for an adoption for someone else to take care of it. And if you were religious it also counts as killing gods creation and follows part of the seven deadly sins. Rape is not an excuse to kill a human baby. Some couples also have sexual intercourse reproduction and plan on taking the abortion when they were the ones who raised the baby. This is another case on how abortion is murder and how it is not right. We all want a life and we all want to live. Why kill a innocent baby that didn't do any harm? Would you like it if you were a raped baby and your mom killed you? An abortion can result in medical complications later in life; the risk of ectopic pregnancies doubles, and the chance of a miscarriage and pelvic inflammatory disease also increases. Abortion is also a lot of money. For a first timer the average range is 350-550$. Sure is a lot of money. To conclude abortion is a cruel way to hand with pregnancy Waiting for your argument

Abortion should stay legal

It is preferable to err on the side of liberty when an action is not obviously immoral. Abortion is a highly debated topic and is thus not obviously immoral. Abortion should thus be legal.

Abortion should be legal

You should thank your islamic teacher for widening your view on abortion. I understand that you now agree with me on first trimester abortion, but what about my other two reasons abortions should legal, rape and when the mothers life is in danger. I would like to see your opinions on them. Ok, I guess I will just strengthen my opinions. 1)When rape occurs. It is not the Women's fault that she got raped and she should still be able to get an abortion after the first trimester. 2) When the mothers life is in danger. We might lose two lives if an abortion doesn't happen here, but of course if the women doesn't want an abortion that is her choice. Hopefully next time there is more to write about.

Abortion should be legal under certain circumstances

I will argue why abortion is okay and why this justification should make it legal. Good luck. Meow.

Is abortion ok? (should it be legal?)

hey.. i just got home from cfl quals and there's only like 10 mins. to respond.. so can you just post something random in the next round so i can just reply to your previous?

Abortion should continue to be legal here in the U.S.A (first thing to pop in my head)

Greetings. Let's pose the question: "Should abortion be (il)legal? "This is a very difficult question to answer without bias and it comes down to your fundamental beliefs, But it is clear that the right to abortions in the U. S is being challenged and debate of the topic has been fired up for the longest. My side: I am against abortion. Access to abortion whether it's legal or not varies from state to state and it also varies from country to country. In Ireland for example, Abortion is illegal unless there are circumstances where the health of the mother is at risk due to the pregnancy. A fetus is a person from the moment of conception. A baby's heart begins to beat at about 3 weeks old, Therefore a baby is a real living person and killing it is immoral. Religions. Many religions are also against abortions. In the bible it states "Man shall not kill". Hindus and Buddhists believe the act of abortion is one of the greatest possible sins. Consent. If a woman willingly has sexual intercourse then she should not abort as that is her responsibility because she consented. For every action there's a reaction. In that case, It would be immoral to abort and that isn't right. If you do not wish to get pregnant you should either abstain or use some sort of contraception be it a type of birth control or condoms. Rape. Some women become pregnant as the result of sexual assault. No woman should be forced to conceive a baby that was a result of a rape. I believe a woman can abort if they were raped, Because it was forced and it wasn't consensual. Conditions. Other reasons are that abortion allows the parent to discriminate against the child. One of the most common conditions that it's screened for it down syndrome. There are some instances in pregnancies where the baby is diagnosed with down syndrome are aborted. The trouble with these tests is that they are not always accurate, Meaning the baby is aborted on the chance that the child might have down syndrome, Not because the baby does have it indefinitely. Pro-choice angle. At the end of the day, Women do have the right to choose whatever they want to do as it is their body. I'm not saying otherwise, But I'm just saying I am more against abortion than for it. Abortions should be only done if rape was involved or if the health of the mother is at risk (Ireland example) as I said before. The unfortunate problem is that abortion is also done for the wrong reasons, Such as consensual sex.

Abortion should stay legal

5 rounds 72 hours 10,000 characters I will be arguing, clearly, that abortion should be legal in the US. Con will argue that it should be illegal. Distinctions such as in the case of rape or life endangerment, etc., are flexible. I only ask that you argue against abortion, in some cases, immediately after conception. It would be a less interesting argument if all we were debating was late-term abortions. Thank you, and I'm looking forward to some fun, some practice formulating a solid argument, some learning and some widening of both of our views on this topic!

I am BUTTER.

Abortion should be legal

it is quite heart breaking that so many women die during legal abortions, but if abortions were illegal, it would not stop them, and women seeking an abortion would find one by unsafe and illegal means, so it is best to provide a safe and legal means of abortion. wikipedia states that unsafe and illegal abortions symptoms include, but are not limited too: abdominal pain, vaginal infection, abnormal vaginal bleeding and shock. women have abortions to choose when to have children based on their age, financial stability and relationship stability. It is not the government's position to legislate against women's choices. The fetus is like a dead brain without self-awareness or consciousness, so it's actually dead. Abortion prevents unnecessary unplanned pregnancies and prevents children from neglecting because their mothers did not want to have that child at that time. Many women who choose abortion don't have the financial resources to support to raise him or her.

abortion should be legal and not be shamed

I also believe life begins at conception and also agree that all life should be given a chance. Though I am 100% pro choice I would almost never advocate someone aborting a child. Though I am against abortion I believe it is a mother right to choose to abort her pregnancy. As the giver of life I believe until a baby is born its life is in the hands of its mother. No one should be allowed to tell someone what to do with their body and until a baby is born child and mother are one.

Abortion should be legal.

Abortion is never an easy decision, but women have been making that choice for thousands of years, for many good reasons. They have the right to decide what they put their bodies through. Whenever a society has sought to outlaw abortions, it has only driven them into back alleys, where they became dangerous, expensive and humiliating.

No it shouldn't. For one, it is democratically supported. For another, it is the individual who has signed the social contract who benefits from society, and no-one else, unless predefined. That is, the child gains no inherent rights in the society - only through personal morality. Abortion is a good form of birth control, and finally we can use the aborted fetuses to help our country in other ways, from stem cell research to save lives to new flavoured ice cream.

Abortion should be illegal.

Abortion should be legalized because everybody mistakes and the baby might have defects that family can not support and the baby might be in pain for life with that defect. Sometimes young women make mistakes and accidentally get pregnant, if they are unprepared financially and emotionally they should have the option of having an abortion. When the person finds out the baby has a defect and the family can't support the costs to support the child or the child will live in pain for his/her life because of the defect, it is ok to put it out of its misery.

Abortion

I accept. Good luck.

No problems. Please start.

Abortion Should Be Legal

I don't think abortion should be legal because no matter if it is unwanted, you should give it up for adoption. Or just let someone else carry it. You killing a baby is something you will have to live with for the rest of your life. Also its taking away a chance for someone who wants a family. Abortion is basically murder. Even an morning after pill, its the first stage of an abortion, which is still killing a baby. I know most people don't want a child, and it should be your decision, but still a kid is a kid, no matter how you got it. I also think that if you can live with killing a baby, you don't have an heart. I'm sixteen years old, and I believe abortion is bad, and unfair to the new life that you are bringing to the world. you should let them have a life just like you got one. I know I'm to young to understand, but I know what loosing something could do to you. And you wouldn't want to live with murder for the rest of your life.

!! Round 1 is for acceptance only, no arguments to be presented in round 1. !! !!! Fourth round for rebuttal and closing statements, no new arguments. !!! Definitions/Explanations Abortion - is the end (termination) of a pregnancy. A low-risk surgical procedure called suction aspiration or suction curette is generally used for first trimester abortions. Medical (non-surgical) abortions using medications such as mifepristone (RU486) are available in some clinics. The embryonic period in humans begins at fertilization (penetration of the egg by the sperm) and continues until the end of the 10th week of gestation (8th week by embryonic age).

Should abortion be legal in all 50 states of the U.S? (Before the nervous system is fully developed)

Abortion should not be legal because its killing a real living humans , people from left might say that the women should get to choose if want to abort a baby or not. This is completely untrue, for example if your a mom/dad with a kid just because your "own" them does not mean you get to kill them for your own convenience. I do believe a abortion would be appropriate if the baby affected the mothers health.
