Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: No.

You are being narrow-minded there. What if it means incapable of doing something because of his/her own capabilities can't be met. the statement was broad, it didn't indicate what kind of inability to do anything. what if the person cant do anything since he's paralyzed (im talking bout the physical aspect), dont you know that even a paralyzed person still has a chance to walk or move that part of his/her body, because our brain is plastic. that means that our brain can be trained to become or do things which we thought are impossible. that's the power of our brain.You misunderstand what is meant by 'anything.' A person who is paralyzed may be unable to move the paralyzed portions of his or her body (some things), but they are still capable of thought, receiving input from undamaged senses, and whatnot (other things). 'Anything' refers, in this case, to any action whatsoever involving any kind of personal agency on the part of the person/fetus. That would also include 'training the brain' to do something different; this would be 'something' and is not a possibility with the criteria 'can't do anything.' A developing fetus is not comparable to a paralyzed individual. Your special pleading isn't really applicable here, given the context of the debate and the associated implications, but I can't really fault you entirely; the wording was not 100% clear and does rely on context for a good part of its meaning, and not everyone picks up on that.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: No.

That's irrelevant, they already have their rights. This topic is about giving rights, not taking them away.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

You don't get to make the rules for MY debate. I do. If you would not kill a born person, you should not kill an unborn child.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: No.

Dumbass.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

Ad hom fallacy. .
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: No.

I never added homosexuality into this discussion.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

No, the ad homenim fallacy is when you attack your opponant instead of debating facts.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: No.

Also along with your conclusion being a false dilemma, you should have named the debate topic "Should the fetus have rights" or "do you think fetuses have rights" because this is not a deductive argument, it inductive. Inductive means the conclusion is not 100% true. Your question requires deductive answer. Unless of course this is a test question, then yes a fetus has legal rights to an extent(if you intentionally hurt a pregnant woman and kill the baby then you will be charged with some type of murder.) But I am sure you did not mean it that way.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: No.

I agree, that is what I was saying through out my entire argument.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: No.

Ewps. Am sew surreh.Da fakts, mmk, let's start over.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: No.

False Dilemma. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: No.

Then don't. But that is not your call for anyone else. It is subjective, and I can personally say that I wish I was not born into this meaningless spectrum we call humanity in which contains only a destined path for the facilitation of destruction in a beautiful world(unless humans move to another planet and start a path of destruction there also.)
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: No.

I wasn't making any rules, I was just staying on topic, but since its your debate I guess you have the right to change it .If you would not kill a born person, you should not kill an unborn child.Why?
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

Because it is wrong to kill people. People have the right to live.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: No.

Fetuses are not people yet, so why do they deserve the same treatment as people?
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

Yes they are. The baby is the same before birth as it is after.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: No.

That is entirely false biologically, psychologically, and physiologically. Try a different approach.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

I don't believe you.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

I am agreeing with your notion.....................................
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: No.

What do you mean by, "the same"? What is "the same"?
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

The baby is the same genetically from fertilization as it is at birth.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: No.

Genetically, sure.But a fetus is not yet operational, which is the biggest difference .
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

Yes it is. The fetus is the same baby as the born baby. How would you like it if I denied your humanity?
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: No.

That does not matter, I am not a baby or a fetus.  Besides.... Babies and fetuses would not be aware that you are denying them their humanity, which means their feelings towards being denied their humanity are nonexistent.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

Babies have the right to live. It is wrong to kill them. .
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: No.

So does each sperm cell in your testis have rights? Each one is a potential human.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

The sperm technically is not genetically identical, it's more like the initial fertilized egg cell. I realize that in terms of significance, this is splitting hairs
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

The zygote is the same genetically as the born baby. .
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

And your hair follicles are genetically identical to you as a whole, a banana shares roughly half of the same DNA as you do (I guess that it's half of a person then). We've been over this before.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

The baby is the same before birth as after birth. You need to debate facts.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

Genetically, yes it is. However, as I explained in the comment that you just replied to, that's a useless metric.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

That is not a fact. You need to debate facts because your answers seem to stem from emotional thought rather than critical thought. A fetus cannot cry, drink milk from a source, see, etc.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: No.

Yes it is a fact that the baby is the same before birth as it is after birth.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

You are indisputably incorrigible. You can not have a decent debate on the route you are on.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: No.

Yes I can. You need to debate facts. It is a fact that the baby is the same before birth as it is after birth. Birth is just a change in location. It is just like a proabort to depart from facts when people disagree.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

Can a fetus see yes or no? Can a fetus cry yes or no? These are yes or no, I am not in the mood for prevarication.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

you are so inclined on fact.. but yet you believe in god... whom contains no facts.. and I am expecting an irrational thinker to differentiate subjectivity and objectivity. Go figure
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

Your best action would be to give up, she's beyond convincing.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

Incorrigible indeed. This website should not be for people with strongly tied emotional opinions. It should only be for the open-minded. Otherwise, good debates end in debacles.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

You have failed to prove your claims. The fetus is a baby and it is the same before birth as it is after birth. Birth is just a change in location. Can you prove with science that life begins at birth? No religion allowed, just pure science.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

I feel as thought you have your text saved and you just paste responses. Can you prove with science that life begins at birth?I have stated that life begins at puberty when males obtain sperm cells.No religion allowed, just pure science.I can almost bet that you are religious and not a scientist. Right?
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

Can you prove that life begins at puberty? .
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

I am curious as to why you believe that life begins at puberty.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

For males: sperm cell. Why?; because in order for a fetus to develop then it would need a sperm cell. That would entail, from your implied notion of "because something has life it has rights", that sperm cells have rights(the point I was making earlier when I asked "so do sperm cells have rights?" because there would be no fetus if it weren't for the sperm.)
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

That is a new view. I thought life begins at conception when the zygote is genetically unique. I still respect your belief though. Thank you for telling me. :)
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

Oh.... so a sperm cell is not a life form necessary for the creation of a fetus? That's a new view that is contradictory to science. Thanks for the heads up! :)
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

Strawman. I never said that sperm is not needed for life. I just said that life begins at conception.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

just for clarification - do you believe "conception" to mean fertilization, or implantation, or...?
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

Fertilization. I looked into it and realized that fertilization is when the baby is genetically different from the mother.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

Then I would assume that you believe any form of contraception that has either a primary effect or side effect of decreasing the chance of implantation is an abortion as well, correct?
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

No. If something prevents implantation, it is not a contraceptive, but an abortifacient. Contraception means preventing fertilization which is the implied meaning of conception. I have no problem with contraception, and feel that contraception is a right. I just have a problem with most abortions.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

If something prevents implantation, it is not a contraceptive, but an abortifacient.A note of clarification - some things are both, e.g. the copper IUD generally functions to prevent fertilization, but can also lessen the chance of implantation.If 99% of the time a device works as contraception, but has a side effect of sometimes preventing implantation should people not use it? Should it be banned? What if eliminating these forms of birth control would actually increase the number of unwanted/untenable pregnancies and increase abortions?
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: No.

I am all for contraception that prevents fertilization. I am not for things that prevent implantation.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

Again, it is more complex than that. As I mentioned the IUD and others mostly work by preventing fertilization, but a very small percentage of the time can also prevent implantation.If something works as contraception 99% of the time, but as an abortifacient 1% of; the time, should women not use it? Should companies deny health-care coverage for it? Should it be banned?What if banning these forms of contraception actually increases the number of unintended pregnancies and increases abortions by more than the number of abortions that would have been caused through preventing implantation?
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: No.

Like I said: I support the use of contraception. I see nothing wrong with contraception. If something causes an abortion, it is not a contraceptive.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

Not exactly sure how simple to make this so that you can understand it:If a hammer is 99% of the time used as a tool, but is sometimes used as a murder weapon - does that make all hammers always murder weapons or to a certain degree both a tool and a murder weapon? Should all hammers be banned?
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

Thank you. If something only causes abortion 1% of the time, I still support its use. Unlike my fellow prolifers, I support the use of the copper iud because the copper acts as a spermicide. I realize that it can cause the death of the baby if placed after conception, but I am fine with it if it is placed before conception. How did I do this time?
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: No.

How did I do this time?Far better!! :)As we get to the details of your opinion, I seem to agree with you more and more - I think people just need to take the time to think through all the complexities and they will largely agree.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: No.

Thank you. You are very smart and I respect you. You want to continue? :)
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

You are very smart and I respect you.Thanks!You want to continue?Sure. Here are questions for you to answer so that I can more fully understand your opinion:Do you think mercy killing should ever be legal - e.g. a terminally ill cancer patient with chronic pain?Do you believe that if someone is trying to maim you that you could justifiably claim self-defense in shooting them?What laws do you think the government should impose on women and their doctors?
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

I do think that consensual mercy killing should be legal because no one should be forced to suffer. I plan on making a will that says this. I also believe that it is okay to kill in self defense. The only reason I did not kill my first rapist is because I knew the system was bad and I would get life in prison or the death penalty. I think that the government should promote sex education, contraception, and adoption as abortion alternatives. I am not sure what penalty there should be for women who get abortions.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

Again, there is much I agree with there.no one should be forced to sufferWithout trying to be too graphic, thousands of pregnancies a year have some form of cephalic disorder. If a mother learns that her child does not have most of its brain and will either be still born or die within hours of birth - if the child is experiencing pain can you understand a mother making the tough decision to prevent its suffering?(Also, keep in mind that less than 1% of abortions occur after 20 weeks, there are only 4 doctors in the country that perform 3rd trimester abortions; these pregnancies are often wanted.)I also believe that it is okay to kill in self defense.If continuing a pregnancy would likely result in a woman losing her ovaries or other organs, should she be able to terminate the pregnancy in self-defense?I am not sure what penalty there should be for women who get abortions.Take your time deciding.Semantically, would you agree that if someone believes the decision can legally be made by the woman that they are in a sense "pro-choice" since they want the choice to be legal, even if they prefer the mother to choose not to have an abortion.(Looking at some of your past responses, you seem to often point out false dichotomies - I thought you would definitely see the false dichotomy of pro-life and pro-choice... Maybe you can invent a new position: pro-choice-of-life or similar)
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

If the baby is going to die anyway, they need to get it out of there to save the life of the mother. For me personally, I would only have an abortion for an ectopic pregnancy, but I do not want to be mean about it. I love my prochoice friends too much for that. I support abortion for the life of the mother. If the baby can survive, I oppose the abortion. I will try to think about the issue of illegal abortion. Because it is such a personal issue, I would not impose the death penalty. I oppose the death penalty actually, and it would be antilife of me to even suggest it. I prefer to be consistant in my prolife values. Thank you for debating me and let me know if I have not addressed you on anything.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: No.

let me know if I have not addressed you on anything.There are still a few questions that remain, but let me first thank you for starting to give longer/fuller answers. I will try breaking the questions out so you can deal with them individually and at whatever pace works best for you - definitely feel free to take whatever time you need.I will try to think about the issue of illegal abortion.For me this is the most important answer. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it is public policy/laws that affects others.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: No.

abortion in self-defense:If continuing a pregnancy would likely result in a woman losing her ovaries or other organs, should she be able to terminate the pregnancy in self-defense?
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: No.

abortion as mercy killing:If a mother learns that her child does not have most of its brain and will either be still born or die within hours of birth and if the child is experiencing pain should a mother consider abortion to end its suffering?
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

legal = pro-choice: (& false dichotomy)Support for allowing the woman to make the decision = "pro-choice".If someone thinks it should be legal, they are "pro-choice", even if they also consider themselves "pro-life".
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

Tell me, if a sperm cell was found on mars would mars have life? I am curious to know.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

Obviously, I was implying a sequential statement that each sperm cell is a potential life, and if you take away a sperm cell then you just took away the possibility of a fetus, by doing so the notion that 'fetus has the right to live' is true then it would only be so if you do not take away the sperm cell. Therefore, the sperm cell basically must have rights in order to have this debate.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

I know, I agree with that, I just felt like nit picking .
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: No.

If you would not kill a born person, you should not kill an unborn child.We kill born people all the time: war, mercy killing, self-defense, etc.Can a pregnant woman chose to have an abortion in self-defense?
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

I support abortion for an ectopic pregnancy, but otherwise, no. Abortion is really only justified in that situation.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: No.

As I pointed out before, an ectopic pregnancy is not the only pregnancy that threatens the life of the mother.Also, if you think someone is likely to maim you, but not necessarily kill you, can you justifiably shoot them in self-defense?
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

If the mother's life is in danger, they can deliver the baby and let the mother bond with it before it dies. An ectopic pregnancy is the only time that killing the baby is really needed to save the life of the mother. One does not need to rip the arms and legs off of innocent babies to save the life of the mother.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: No.

If the mother's life is in danger, they can deliver the baby and let the mother bond with it before it dies.I think you may have mis-read or mis-wrote - if the mother dies, how can she bond with the baby?An ectopic pregnancy is the only time that killing the baby is really needed to save the life of the mother.I have mentioned several types of pregnancy which are life-threatening to the mother; you have, as yet, disputed none of them.You also did not address the question of self-defense in the case of maiming.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

One does not need to dismember babies to save the life of the mother. They can just deliver the baby if the mother has a problem. Abortion kills children no matter how you swing it.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: No.

They can just deliver the baby if the mother has a problem.I think you may be a bit confused - the process of delivering the baby is what generally threatens the life of the mother.Shouldn't the goal be preserving the most possible life? Rather than force the mother to die trying, would it be better to save her life so that she can try to have children in the future?Abortion kills children no matter how you swing it.I imagine several children born or unborn were killed during World War 2 - does that mean we should not have fought it?
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

You need to start putting "I believe" in front some of your statements. Justification is purely subjective(opinionated) so you would say "I believe of I feel as though abortion is really only justified in that situation." Because, for example, some have traditions where an aborted baby might be a sacrifice for the gods therefore it is justified to abort that baby. For you to say it is not ehh.... well that is your opinion. Subjectivity.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

Abortion kills children. Fact. Life begins at fertilization. Fact. Can you prove that life begins at a different time?
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

If you mean 'capability of a human' life then yes. Male puberty. When a male develops sperm. Sperm + egg = probable fetus. T + Z = V. No sperm(T) then fetus(V) is impossible. So again I ask; do sperm cells have rights yes or no?
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

One does not need to be able to procreate to be a human with rights. Life begins at conception when the person has its own dna.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

One does not need to be able to procreate to be a human with rightsThe fetus is not a human. It is in transition. In the last stages maybe. But not simply when one becomes pregnant. Which is why people agree to abortion in early stages.Life begins at conception when the person has its own dna.Stop with this "person" "human" terminology. Pregnancy is a fetuses transition into a complete human. Which is why the fetus will die if remove it too early. Because it does not have essential qualities necessary for survival. You are so inclined on believing that the collision of a cell and egg automatically makes a human baby. No. It facilitates the probable becoming of a human baby. Open your mind because it is being suppressed by emotion.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

The fetus is not a human. If the fetus is not human, what species is it? Stop with this "person" terminology. Stop with this right to kill babies terminology.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

If the fetus is not human, what species is it? ..... okay.Stop with this right to kill babies terminology.On that note you emotional intellectually-incompetent incorrigible female. Have a nice life.P.S I love babies, and I have a soft spot for pregnant women and strong sense of protection when I am around one. But unlike some(you) when I debate or give insight I do not think with emotion, I look at it for what it is. I am a realist. And women like you are the reason why a lot of people feel 'iffy' about a female president. Too emotional.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

Typical proabort response. Answer my question: If the fetus is not human, what species is it?
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

The fetus is DEVELOPING INTO A HUMAN. UNDEVELOPED MEANS NOT YET.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: No.

If it is not a human, what species is it? For a Harvard Graduate, you sure have trouble answering a simple question.
Debate: Does the fetus have rights?
Side: Yes.

You need to develop into a human. The fetus will GROW into a human. If I am building a computer and I have only built the keyboard then it is not yet a computer. However, when I build the keyboard, mouse, monitor, etc. it is now a computer.
