Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: for abortion

point 1-masturbation in not illegal for any couple as it has a potential of creating a human. so, as pregnancy is also a potentiality of creating a human why we treat it in different way? 2-if somebody is raped and is not enough mature to take care of the child then what? 3-some body is not financially sufficient to take care of another baby and by any chance she is pregnant so what? so i think pregnancy and a born child are completely different subject and should not be treated on equal ground. And decision should completely left to the couple who are responsible for the issue
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: against abortion

(sighhh!) Masturbation is treated differently because the other link needed to create life is not involved. If someone is raped they should have the choice to have the child or not... That is scarcely disputed. There is a very small group within the republican party who mostly support pro-life that dispute that... They are not the voice for the republican party! If a girl who is too young and not mature enough to take care of the child, decides to give birth to a child from a rape incident, it's not really anyone's place to say she can't take care of the child until supporting evidence says otherwise at which then the government would take that child and place them in a foster home. If a couple gets pregnant there are alternatives to avoid responsibility without killing the unborn child therefore the choice of giving birth or not should not be a right!

masturbation in not illegal for any couple as it has a potential of creating a human. so, as pregnancy is also a potentiality of creating a human why we treat it in different way WHAT???Why was masturbation even brought up is has nothing to do with abortion at all?and and pregnancy...well IDK about you but i was told that was the ONLY way of creating a human...maybe everybody else is wrong? ( doubt it though )if somebody is raped and is not enough mature to take care of the child then what?If you are raped it's not your maturity that makes you not want the child ass hole it's the fact that being raped is a horrible experience and having to take care you basically your rapists' child every day is, to me, as disgusting and unbearable as the rape itself because everyday your forced to remember it. (some women can do it though and BIG ups to them)some body is not financially sufficient to take care of another baby and by any chance she is pregnant so whatTHAT is the case where is think abortion is not okay. You knew damn well before getting pregnant that you weren't financially stable (Seriously unless you lost all you money while pregnant you KNEW before) I used to live in the projects and bitches be trippin having children just to get Dem Checks. Yeah, your gonna have a hard life but aborting your kid? No...Hell No. you need to struggle maybe then you'll learn to keep your legs closed unless you can pay for what comes you when you don't...Nuff Said
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: against abortion

Abortion is not always a solution and implying otherwise is very unpleasant of you. In fact abortion is almost always an emotional burden on women resulting in guilt, regret or shame. Whatever the case abortion is not always the best option.
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: for abortion

Abortion is a personal choice. Saying that it's bad just because the fetus, theoretically could once be a human being is a weak argument because according to that every egg and sperm that aren't used the "proper way" are technically a dead children or murdered baby, whatever you want to call it...
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: against abortion

To engage in sexual activity is a personal choice, a choice that has natural consequences. Before one chooses to engage in such activity, one must engage one's brain to think whether what they are considering is loving or wise.
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: for abortion

and exactly for those who did not thought about that we have the abortions.
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: against abortion

Nope, they need to realistically face the consequences of their choice. Once a baby is conceived, there is one choice and that is to carry that baby.
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: against abortion

I wouldn’t call sperm, babies or children, I would call it what it is sperm. I think your argument is pretty weak bc sperm and eggs are the things that truly don’t have a conscious and are not yet living not until the moment the sperm cell is fertilized in the Fallopian tubes then it’s living, it’s barely living but it’s living and as time goes on it becomes stronger and stronger the embryo becomes a fetus and so on… just because it’s little and insignificant at the first stages of it life doesn’t mean it doesn’t have the potential to be a baby.
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: for abortion

well its up to her but, it might of been a accident or shes too young or she JUST NOT READY, wich, those are all valid reasons, and i mean if you do get rid of the baby it might of been the wright thing to do, i mean it wouldnt be fair to keep it if she cant look after it, so in some cases yes :p
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: for abortion

I haven't done one of these in a while.Is it right or wrong? Depends on who you ask. If you ask an evangelical Christian, they'll probably say its wrong. If you ask a feminist, they'll probably say it's right. If you ask me, I'll say nothing is inherently right or wrong, but that's another debate for another time. Point is that it's subjective.With this in mind, I support a woman's choice to have an abortion. Seeing as there is no proof that abortion is morally wrong or harmful to society, government has no right in illegalising it, thus it should be legal. However, those opposed to abortion should not have to pay for people's abortions in tax dollars.Just my two cents.
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: for abortion

I agree with you, although abortion could easily be harmful to society.We could take Denmark as an example. They have given women free abortions since 1973, and they've killed over 15 million people. About 15,000 pregnant women get abortions every year in Denmark. Notice that there are only 5 million people who live in Denmark, so these numbers are pretty high. they've killed three times the people that live there. If the rest of the world was like them, we would by now have killed 21 billion people.If the whole world decided to have free abortions, the human race would slowly disappear.I have nothing against people who get abortions if they have a good reason. People who just kill them is just wrong at it costs the country a lot of money in Denmark.I'm not danish, but I know a lot about this because I live here, I'm originally from Norway.But in Denmark it is very rare to start a family in your 20's. A 25 year old mother is considered a young mother, whilst in Norway it is a normal age to start having children.In Denmark they usually don't start till they're 30 - 40.So the typical danish woman gets about 2-3 abortions at the age of 15-28.And then in her 30's, when she decides to finally start her family, she gets some free vitro fertilizations, because she has trouble getting pregnant from the 5 abortions she had in her 'youth'.Abortion is okay, but the abortion system in Denmark and other countries like them is just crazy and wasting money.
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: for abortion

I absolutely agree with you. I'm not particularly interested in debating whether or not abortion is murder, because that's all opinion. But one thing I'm absolutely convinced of is that abortion should NOT be paid for by the taxpayer, else you end up with a situation like you described.
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: for abortion

Yeah it is so stupid.I respect every woman who wants to abort their babies as long as I don't have to pay for it...
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: against abortion

Respect, you say, gu. How can anyone have respect for a woman who has her own flesh and blood murdered in cold blood?
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: for abortion

We see things differently.I believe in freedom. I would personally never abort my own baby, but I still respect that some women have different opinions.It's the woman's decision if wether she wants to have her baby or get rid of it, she has to live with the guilt, not me.If the woman can live with that .. than okay. It will never affect my life that women abort their babies, it will only affect theirs.How can anyone have respect for a woman, you ask ?How can anyone have respect for people like you, who don't respect others ?
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: against abortion

I am quite sure that you need to revise the line;"They have given women free abortions since 1973, and they've killed over 15 million people."Abortion does not kill a person, and I don't think that 39 (years) multiplied by 15,000 (the rate of abortions, which in itself seems absurdly high) equals 15 million.
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: for abortion

Well this is fact, so I can't really answer you on that :)Whether abortion is killing a person or not is up to the individual to decide - I feel like it is killing a person, you obviously do not.
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: against abortion

It is not fact, it is quite clearly false, and I'd like to request some supporting evidence if you wish for it to remain.Juxtaposed to your conjecture, whether abortion is equivalent to killing a person or not is a fact-based debate. Under the definition of a human being, abortion is not killing one.
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: against abortion

The only thing I agree with you about your two cents is, tax payers should not have to pay for something they strongly feel is wrong. Since life begins at conception, abortion is akin to murder as it is the act of taking human life. Abortion is in direct defiance of the commonly accepted idea of the sanctity of human life. Also No civilized society permits one human to intentionally harm or take the life of another human without punishment, and abortion is no different. As for there being no harm coming from abortion, take this into count. 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. Also abortion frequently causes intense psychological pain and stress for life of the individual that had the abortion.
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: against abortion

I'm not sure why you downvoted me,I don't really disagree with you per se, but I would like to ask you something.If we agree that it is a contentious and subjective matter whether or not abortion is murder, would you then agree that abortions should be made available to those who are willing to pay for it?
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: against abortion

I don't agree, believe with abortion period. It is against all fairness, why should some people have a right at life, while others don't? I don't agree with killing your offspring due to inconvenience. Plus there are plenty of interested people wanting to adopt, therefor eliminating any unwanted babies.
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: against abortion

That's fine, I won't dispute your opinion. But obviously, many people disagree with you. So, seeing as it is a highly subjective matter, is it not fair to allow women willing to pay for their own abortions to have them?
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: against abortion

Nothing is fair with murdering a defenseless child, no one should have that right or authority to do so.
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: against abortion

But the point is that that is your opinion. There is no absolute right or wrong answer, some people think it's right, others like yourself think its wrong. You would have to be immensely arrogant to believe your opinion is more valid than anyone else's.So, with that in mind, if people who are for abortion pay for it, and don't involve you in any way, then I don't see what's wrong with having that as a compromise. To not do so would be sheer hubris.
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: against abortion

Yes there is, murder is wrong and that is the right answer. I think most people would agree with murder being wrong, the law as well. Therefor making it more than a mere opinion. Also abortion does involve me, it harms a woman's mental health thus harming society, thus involving me.
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: against abortion

That is not what I meant. It is not opinion (for most people) that murder is wrong. It is opinion that abortion is murder.Please bear in mind that I have no wish to debate whether or not abortion is murder with you, it will be fruitless.So, as it is a highly subjective matter, I cannot see why government should illegalise abortion.
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: against abortion

There a plenty of subjective matters in argument like paying Federal Income Tax, legalizing gay marriage, NASA support. But abortion is quite different from any of those because it's giving people the right to kill something that is living. I cannot see why the government should be able to legalize something that is clearly wrong, playing God in the process.
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: for abortion

Do you support legislation that would outlaw gay marriage?Do you oppose funding NASA? But abortion is quite different from any of those because it's giving people the right to kill something that is living.The government also supports hunting, granting hunting licenses to millions of individuals. The animals being hunted have a far greater ability to feel pain and emotions than the fetus in the womb being aborted. I cannot see why the government should be able to legalize something that is clearly wrong, playing God in the process.Because it's not clearly wrong. There are other opinions out there other than your own. All you seek to do is deprive people of their choice, and impose your will upon the masses. Let's all be glad you are not in a position of power, for you would abuse it undeniably all in the name of "god".
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: against abortion

If homosexuals want to legalize their union, they must use a word other than marriage to do so.
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: for abortion

Why? Homosexual and heterosexual marriage would be identical, in the eyes of the law. The only difference is the genders of the couple. Since the law does not prescribe gender roles in marriage, there is no reason to come up with a different name for the homosexual couple. Make them both the same name.
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: against abortion

I do not support gay marriage, NASA research to an extent I do. So now you are comparing animals to humans? They are both the same importance in your eyes? I guess you must be a vegetarian. People kill animals for food, people kill babies for inconvenience. If murder is clearly wrong to, then abortion should be as well.
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: for abortion

I do not support gay marriage, NASA research to an extent I do.You don't have to support gay marriage to allow it. You do not have the right to deprive other people from marrying people of the same sex. It does not harm you, let others do what they want so long as they are not harming people. As for the NASA agency, I believe the military needs to be cut, severely. NASA needs to have a massive boost in spending. Crank the NASA budget up to 50-100 billion and NASA will perform miracles. So now you are comparing animals to humans? They are both the same importance in your eyes? I guess you must be a vegetarian. People kill animals for food, people kill babies for inconvenience. If murder is clearly wrong to, then abortion should be as well.This is now how I was comparing it, this is a misinterpretation on your part. I brought up the animals to show you that a deer has a far better grasp of reality, pain, and emotions, than a fetus less than 24 weeks old. The deer can feel pain and emotions and has a primitive level of consciousness. A fetus less than 24-25 weeks old has NONE of these.
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: against abortion

Have you ever heard of the null hypothesis? The null hypothesis states that when a claim is made, until it is proven, the default position should assume that it is not true.So your argument is: Abortion should not be legal because it is murder of a human being. That's just your opinion though, and until you can objectively prove it is true, we assume it is not true, meaning that abortion should be legal.I would also like to point out that the government not illegalising something is not playing God. It's the exact opposite. Illegalising abortion would be playing God, as that is a direct encroachment on people's lives and liberties, whereas doing nothing is not.
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: against abortion

Killing the innocent is not a direct encroachment on their liberties? Wrong is wrong, no matter who's says it's not, it's still wrong.
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: against abortion

So you believe that your opinion is more important than everybody else's?
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: against abortion

Why is it when a pregnant woman is murdered no matter how far she is, it is classified as double homicide. So it's murder if someone else takes her and the babies life, but with an abortion it's not murder. Murder is by taking someone's life against their will, well your taking someones life without asking if your killing a fetus/baby no matter how far along.
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: against abortion

OK, I really don't care. As I said, I'm not interested in debating when life begins, or is a fetus a human, or whatever.My sole point is that you would have to be tremendously arrogant to either put a blanket ban on abortion, or demand abortions from the taxpayer at any stage.
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: against abortion

It's God's opinion that abortion is wrong. It's God's opinion that abortion is murder. It's God's opinion that it is NOT legal to slaughter an unborn baby that He created in His image! God's ways are higher. He is God and we are NOT! His way is the only way that matters! Get over yourself, CH.
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: against abortion

CH, for anyone to go against God is hubris! That's what is wrong with people who have chosen not to believe in Him. They are puffed up with pride. Abortion is murder!
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?

Sure I think people should be able to get an abortion if they pay for it, but then I think they should be tried on weather or not if it was a criminal act.

I would say my english is pretty good, but I have trouble with comunicating with people who have english as their main language.I don't really understand what you are disputing. I understand what you are agreeing on, but what are you disputing ?Sorry, I just find it hard to see your point.
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: against abortion

Abortion is morally reprehensible! It is Evil! It is harmful to our entire society and world! It's absurd that in the U. S. in the year 2012 murder is legal. God's law is higher! He says it is wrong! That's all that matters, folks!
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: for abortion

To use God as an argument, you must first prove God's existence.
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: against abortion

To argue against his existence, you must first prove that he doesn't.
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: against abortion

No, you are wrong, the onus is upon you, Mr. hades to prove God does not exist.
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: for abortion

You're wrong, as is the person above you.I did not say God didn't exist, nor use any argument that necessitates his existence. However, you did, meaning you must prove his existence. I refer you to Bertland Russel's celestial teapot argument. If I claimed that there was an invisible floating teapot in our solar system, it is my responsibility to prove that there is such a thing, not the skeptic's to disprove it.And then of course there's the philosophical difficulties of proving something doesn't exist. How does one prove that Barack Obama exists? You show him the agent Barack Obama. How does one prove Barack Obama does not exist? What item would you use to prove that? How can an existent item be used to prove the non-existence of something? These are profound philosophical implications to your retort, ones which you clearly didn't consider.Tl;dr: I am not obligated in any way to prove he doesn't exist.
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: for abortion

Since I don't believe what you believe, you are wrong. That is all you have as an argument; your faith (in yourself).Also, God never condemned abortion, unless you mean some wacky side religion where it was one of his commandments. That "book of life" crap is so stretched out of proportion, when it was only talking about one person that God had a plan for in the bible. Taking it literally as meaning God is writing down every name of every soul that is implanted in a woman's uterus at... an arbitrarily chosen moment like "conception", is to be making up your own religious beliefs.Nothing shows it is harmful to society, and in fact all studies seem to show it has a lot of benefits, because unwanted pregnancies tend to lead to worse outcomes.
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: against abortion

You are so contradicting to yourself... You say nothing is right or wrong? We as human beings belong in a political society, we couldn't survive each other in a different society... Even the native Indians had laws! With that being said our whole world is made up of rules that define right or wrong so your claim is totally baseless. The matter of the fact is of the question if certain acts are in-moral or not. Morality does not derive from religion, religion practices morality which derives from nature and if a woman wants to end a life even at the very beginning stages all for the reason because she doesn't want to take responsibility of consequences for irresponsible actions, that Sir is in-moral.
Debate: Abortion is it right or wrong?
Side: for abortion

Before I begin, is it you that's gone on a downvoting rampage on all my arguments? It clogs up my activity feed.You are so contradicting to yourself... You say nothing is right or wrong? We as human beings belong in a political society, we couldn't survive each other in a different society... Even the native Indians had laws! With that being said our whole world is made up of rules that define right or wrong so your claim is totally baseless.Rules do not equal morality. In Nazi Germany, it was illegal for Jews to own business. Does that make it moral?The matter of the fact is of the question if certain acts are in-moral or not. Morality does not derive from religion, religion practices morality which derives from nature and if a woman wants to end a life even at the very beginning stages all for the reason because she doesn't want to take responsibility of consequences for irresponsible actions, that Sir is in-moral.In-moral is not a word, you mean "immoral".Anyway, prove to me that morality is objectively binding.
