Debate: Should people have abortions?
Side: no, adoption is better

"No: abortions are not self sustaining organisms, they are parasites." Well for one abortion is not an organism it is an occurrence. Now you say they are parasites. Who is using exploitation now? We are talking about an embryo or a fetus. "Definition of EMBRYO1a archaic : a vertebrate at any stage of development prior to birth or hatching b : an animal in the early stages of growth and differentiation that are characterized by cleavage, the laying down of fundamental tissues, and the formation of primitive organs and organ systems; especially : the developing human individual from the time of implantation to the end of the eighth week after conception 2: the young sporophyte of a seed plant usually comprising a rudimentary plant with plumule, radicle, and cotyledons 3a : something as yet undeveloped b : a beginning or undeveloped state of something " http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/embryo  "Definition of FETUS: an unborn or unhatched vertebrate especially after attaining the basic structural plan of its kind; specifically : a developing human from usually two months after conception to birth" http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fetus  "Definition of PARASITE1: a person who exploits the hospitality of the rich and earns welcome by flattery 2: an organism living in, with, or on another organism in parasitism 3: something that resembles a biological parasite in dependence on something else for existence or support without making a useful or adequate return" http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/parasite  "Definition of PARASITISM1: the behavior of a parasite 2: an intimate association between organisms of two or more kinds; especially : one in which a parasite obtains benefits from a host which it usually injures" http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/parasitism  With all of these definitions, how do you derive that a child is a parasite? If this is your logic then people are a parasite on this planet. Are we not harming the planet and sustaining from it without adding any benefit to it? "This is of women being treated for turner's syndrome. otherwise they would probably die. But if you have the cure for turner's syndrome with nothing more than a simple application of hormones: please share it with the world" http://www.medicinenet.com/turner_syndrome/page2.htm  "During childhood and adolescence, girls may be under the care of a pediatric endocrinologist, who is a specialist in childhood conditions of the hormones and metabolism. Growth hormone injections are beneficial in some individuals with Turner syndrome. Injections often begin in early childhood and may increase final adult height by a few inches. Estrogen replacement therapy is usually started at the time of normal puberty, around 12 years to start breast development. Estrogen and progesterone are given a little later to begin a monthly 'period,' which is necessary to keep the womb healthy. Estrogen is also given to prevent osteoporosis. Babies born with a heart murmur or narrowing of the aorta may need surgery to correct the problem. A heart expert (cardiologist) will assess and follow up any treatment necessary. Girls who have Turner syndrome are more likely to get middle ear infections. Repeated infections may lead to hearing loss and should be evaluated by the pediatrician. An ear, nose and throat specialist (ENT) may be involved in caring for this health issue. High blood pressure is quite common in women who have Turner syndrome. In some cases, the elevated blood pressure is due to narrowing of the aorta or a kidney abnormality. However, most of the time, no specific cause for the elevation is identified. Blood pressure should be checked routinely and, if necessary, treated with medication. Women who have Turner syndrome have a slightly higher risk of having an under active thyroid or developing diabetes. This should also be monitored during routine health maintenance visits and treated if necessary. Regular health checks are very important. Special clinics for the care of girls and women who have Turner syndrome are available in some areas, with access to a variety of specialists. Early preventive care and treatment is very important. Almost all women are infertile, but pregnancy with donor embryos may be possible. Having appropriate medical treatment and support allows a woman with Turner syndrome to lead a normal, healthy and happy life." So one of the main treatments is hormone therapy. With infertility being one of the biggest effects of this condition, why cite it as a reason for abortion? Despite the 'supposed' complications with pregnancy shouldn't the woman be grateful for a chance at having a child?
