Debate: should abortion be banned
Side: abortion should be banned

Here is what I think you are saying by potential life; This human after a certain point can go on and have a life. And by life I'm guessing you mean it in the generic sense, meaning the totality of ones existence, a life lived. Here is why I think that is a dangerous position to hold. Basing the value of a human on it's potential is a subjective value judgment, someone other than the human in question decides the value of the human life. If someone decides that the life of someone else is not valuable they then are free to dispose of it. That's dangerous because that is how Germany began the road to the holocaust. It started with the sick, mentally retarded and elderly. The did it by making the value judgment that certain humans didn't have potential, they held no value for society. And following Darwin's model of survival of the fittest it was only logical to dispose of them. See potential is a very vague and subjective term that can be defined in a multitude of different ways, it's what's know as an equivocal word. You see when a value judgment is subjective the line between value and no value can be easily moved to suite the desire of the one with power making every human at risk, even you. The safer ground to stand on is objective value. The value of the human is in the human itself. By the fact that it is human gives it it's value. This puts all humans on a level playing field. I can't come up to you and because I have more power than you say your life is not as valuable as mine. Taking the position of objective value protects the weakest and most vulnerable members of the human race. We are not free to exploit them because we are more powerful. I hope you see that by making this subjective value judgment of another human being you have raised yourself above them because you are more powerful. And now because of your power over them you can kill them freely, this is nothing short of the exploitation of the weakest and most vulnerable humans. Conscience ought to tell you that we should protect them, not exploit them.

That's right. It's inside the woman. It's a part of her body like any other organs inside her. Until it can survive outside her womb, it's her choice whether she wants to continue to allow it to develop into a human life. What happens after week 20 when theoretically it can survive outside her womb? Well then society, if it so chooses, can keep it alive and would have the right to intervene. Until then, society has no rights.

this is a tiresome argument. as long as people (women) are getting pregnant and people (women and men) don't wanna have that pregnancy, then we will have abortions regardless of laws, so-called morals, etc.the answer is adequate 1) health/sex information and 2) improved availability to contraception since historically (stupid) efforts to control sex have failed

I know you're trying to say that legislations are necessary to prevent chaos.But you're comparing 2 very different things. You're proposing that the rights to a person's own body should be legislated away. It's called living in a prison!

There needs to be improved sex ed in society. How does that solve this issue? Just because people will try to do something outside the law, does not mean the government should just make it legal.
Debate: should abortion be banned
Side: abortion should not be banned

"just because people will try to do something outside the law, doesn't mean the govt should just make it legal"... are you suggesting that abortions are already "outside the law"? It's happening everywhere and it is everyone's rights to their own body. It's not outside the law unless you make it so!Besides, making certain recreational drugs legal allow certain societies to control it better. This may be the case with abortions.

are you suggesting that abortions are already "outside the law"? No.....I was responding to the post that "people will just get illegal abortions anyway" I was simply pointing out that is not a good reason to keep or make something legal."Besides, making certain recreational drugs legal allow certain societies to control it better"Considering these drugs are NOT legal, you have no proof to back that statement up. Secondly, you cannot compare the 2. Abortions would most likely go down if it was illegal as most people would be too scared to do them illegally.

This is stupid. The simple fact of all of this is let people decide what they want to do with teir bodies, I am so sick of republicans saying "no more government" then they have these "rules" which make more decisions for us. Total hypocrisy. You have a right to choose is my stance on everything.

There is a name for that it's called Anarchy and every society that embraces it collapses.

Ah yes. I remember Joker convincing people to embrace anarchy and Gotham city nearly fell. Good thing the Gothamites aka the good people of Gotham refused to let Joker take control. Same with Bane. It is what we need these days in reality. We need to take back control over society before anarchy causes full collapse.

The direct opposite of anarchy is dictatorship... trying to legislate and take away people's rights in regards to their own bodies... societies that embrace dictatorships also collapse in time...

And do you believe dictatorships are any better than anarchies or are anarchies any better? No. Neither are good. Your contradictive arguments exposes you as a self destructive snowflake. Law & Order are important in a society. That doesn't mean it's going towards a dictatorship. The people will speak up when a government does things wrong. Look at Canada and America, the people will not comply with libtards nor democrats because they are unjust.

Let me get this straight; you are suggesting that there should be a yes/no policy on every aspect on life?If I choose not to pay my taxes, I am fined and jailed.If I choose to kill, I am also jailed.If I choose to ignore the Stop Signs while driving, I could cause several kinds of accidents.If I choose to disobey the law, I am a criminal.Have a think about where I am going with this. While you're at it, add to the list, see how far you get before you realize how wrong your statement was.

That is exactly what pro abortionists are claiming. They want a yes/no policy on right & wrong without consequences but that is just not the case! You're right!Just think on this, if we allow a murderer to go free, killing whoever he or she desires and we let him or her get away with it, we will all eventually go out of existence because of that!!! Did you know that 4 serial killers who happen to be homosexual got away with murder thanks to "homophobia"? Yeah! It's literally what happened for real! It's the same with abortionists and guess what? Lgbt, abortionists and BLM supporters are all collaborating together!! It's no surprise!
Debate: should abortion be banned

Um, that doesnt prove anything except what it actually is. When a woman becomes pregnant she starts going through a hormonal change to adjust for this really huge thing that is about to happen to her life. It is natures way of preparing a woman for motherhood. When the baby is lost, through abortion, miscarriage, or accident, all women go back to normal hormones in a quick fashion and it causes depression. If you think that a woman feeling guilty about the abortion isnt misplaced emotion then let me tell you a general story that I am sure relates to every woman on the planet. When you get all emotional and upset because your bf or husband does not put the dishes in the right place or some other lame ass reason for getting upset, do you really think that that is really the issue? Is it really not your period or your mom not listening to you? Yes it is. So misunderstanding your emotions and where they stem from is how you define "woman".

But who is going to choose for the unborn child? Like I said was premature, if my parents had chosen to abort me then I would never had the chance to call out my ideas, have you ever thought of that?

If you were aborted, you wouldn't be here right now. But that means nothing! It may hurt your feelings to know that you're only a small speck of dust in the universe (as am I), but life in general goes on without us my friend. You could greatly contribute to society but then again you could also turn out to be extremely evil...
Debate: should abortion be banned

Actually, you're wrong.By that I refer to your statement of: "If you were aborted, you wouldn't be here right now. But that means nothing!"One man makes a difference, and yes, this can and does affect the world.Man is the most dominant species on Earth, as I'm sure you would agree, and it is because of this that certain choices of ours greatly impacts the planet. Greenhouse gases is one example, Nuclear War is another. To be honest, there are many things I have done that have affected the world, all of which relate to Greenhouse Gas emissions and preventions.Anyway, my point is that one man makes a difference, whether we are born or not makes a difference. The level of difference varies, as all men/women are not created equal.It shouldn't be a choice of do we come into this world, but should be what we will do with the time we have while we are here.

Ok, let's just agree that "one man DOES make a difference". That difference however, can be positive or negative.

In a democratic society, it's the people that actually chooses to have a choice when it comes to their bodies... not propaganda (which the church excels at). The church is wrong if it thinks Christians are turning a blind eye to the issue. The issue is very much alive and well amongs people, and they've clearly chosen not to have their rights meddled with!

If I was raped, lets say by...my father, and i got pregnant at the age of 14, it would not be mentally healthy for me to go through with my pregnancy! It would wreak havoc on my own psyche and screw my child over from the abnormal hormone fluctuations [stress is bad for the baby in utero]. If the pregnancy would be damaging in any way to the mother, because it really is her choice, I believe abortion is appropriate. I AM NOT SAYING IT SHOULD BE USED AS BIRTH CONTROL. If you have more than one abortion because of your own stupid mistakes, then yes, you most definitely carry the baby to term and put it up for adoption. But if the pregnancy is going to be damaging, get the abortion as soon as possible.

You are saying that abortion should only be legal in special cases, which I would consider to be more pro-life than pro-choice.

No abortion should not be banned, it is the peoples choice if they wish to have a child not be forced to have it, especially if they are young. Shame on the people who say it should be banned. How would you like to be forced to do something??

For one thing people are forced to do things all the time and i suggest you watch an abortion. Did you know that they just vacume it out like a dust bunny as it is screaming and its limbs are being torn off? Take that into acount next time you think about that.
Debate: should abortion be banned
Side: abortion should not be banned

Okay, thanks for proving our point by revealing how ignorant your side is.They can't scream, they don't have voice boxes. Babies who are born don't even understand pain within the first week, so without a voice box or any way to feel pain, please tell me how your excuse for a disputing argument qualifies as logical.Also: No they don't vacuum it out. They surgically remove it in certain cases (third trimester and so on), but at an early stage its like taking a pit out of a peach.You argued against a small number of abortions and used fear tactics to cover your obvious lack of research. Rush Limbaugh, George W. Bush, and Karl Rove would be proud. However, a clear thinker would laugh or rant.

People who use graphical images of abortions to argue against it are actually quite lame. Have you seen any surgical operations done? It's quite horrific watching flesh sliced open, but should it be used to argue against surgical operations? All this graphical arguments are pathetic desperate measures to try and convince people it's ok to be forced to do something, that they should allow their rights regarding their own bodies to be taken away.I say shame on you, all you horror and gore mongers.

Do you have a link to a screaming baby abortion? I wasn't aware they could do that in such an early gestational period.
Debate: should abortion be banned
Side: abortion should not be banned

It shouldn't. It's the parents choice, if you can't take care of a child you shouldn't have on in the first place. Although there's plenty of other choices to do with your kid like give up for adoption sell for weed what ever, it's nobodies choice to choose for the parents. You have your own choices, abortion can be one of them. Especially in poverty or if you're simply a druggy. Plus, we don't need another GANGSTER or drug dealer in the world. Just saying !!!

There IS no voice. It's the mother's property until society can actually keep it alive without her. It's the mother's choice.

Abortion should not be banned. I've yet to come across a reason that is not somehow tied with religion. If you believe abortion is wrong don't have one, but don't push your beliefs on someone else who feels differently because of your own self-righteousness.
Debate: should abortion be banned
Side: abortion should be banned

Here's an argument that is not about religion: the fetus is a living organism separate from the mother. The fetus has both DNA from the mother and DNA from the father. It is a new being! That is not about religion.
Debate: should abortion be banned
Side: abortion should not be banned

That's right!It's a personal choice until the fetus can survive outside the mother's womb. This is around 20 weeks into the pregnancy. After that, society can decide what to do with it because they can theoretically intervene and keep it alive without the mother. Society wants to make laws, it should stick to areas that it could actually control.

Abortion being banned will NOT stop abortions, but it will make them dangerous and expensive.

It already is expensive. This is about illegalizing it vs legalizing it. Making a profit off of murdering babies is wrong. Banning abortion will stop abortions itself. If you're talking about a black market that allows such things, that will be going against the law and people like you will be imprisoned for life. Baby lives matter.

If a person still has rights over their body after death, women should definitely have rights over their bodies in life. I don't think abortion is a good thing, I am a far bigger supporter of birth control and safe sex, but I would never EVER vote to take away a womans right over her own body.
Debate: should abortion be banned
Side: abortion should not be banned

If someone is a strict constructionist who interprets the Constitution word for word, the sanction for abortion is given under the Fourteenth Amendment. The Fourteenth Amendment of our U.S. Constitution defines a citizen “a citizen” at birth. If a woman is carrying a fetus in the womb, the U.S. Constitution does not designate the fetus as “a citizen.” It would take an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to declare a fetus a citizen. You have to be born in order to be recognized as a citizen. Therefore, a woman does have the right to choose. A fetus inside the womb is not designated as a citizen according to the U.S. Constitution so by default is not entitled to life, liberty, or prosperity. You have to be born in order to be endowed with those privileges. To conclude, neither the Federal government nor any of the States can deny a woman the right to choose. If abortion is murder, abortion would have been terminated years ago due to the cruel and unusual punishment clause under the Eighth Amendment. Again, proof that a fetus is not recognized as a citizen of the United States of America.

Abortion is a woman's right. It is her choice. It is a completely safe (when done correctly) medical procedure that should be a personal decision between the pregnant woman and her doctor. It's really no one's business whether or not someone has an abortion. It doesn't affect you, or your life. A woman is completely capable of making her own decisions about her own life and body. No one should be forced into parenthood or it will be a disaster.

Debate: should abortion be banned
Side: abortion should be banned

You can't get pregnant or contract an STD if your not having sex outside of marriage. We set high standards for our children's education and hold them to it. Why not set high standards for them sexually also, since nothing curtails an education like a pregnancy. Abstinence is the only practice that provides 100% protection against STDs and pregnancy, nothing else comes close.There is only one question when it comes to abortion, what is it? If it is a human being then it requires a very high level of justification to take it's life. I have simply seen no argument that comes close to proper justification for the taking the life of an innocent human being. The only arguments I have seen are those that try to take away the embryo's humanity and make it less than human.
