I'm against abortion.
Funny you raised this I was about to do a debate about it! but it got cancelled!
I was third speaker, what I normally do is make up possible arguments the other team would raise and write a rebuttle to it.
Here are some things I've prepared.
- The baby is de-formed so they should not have human rights.
So are you saying that a handicapped person or someone born without an arm or not quite formed in the head as we are that we have the right to do whatever we want to them? No they have rights just because they are not “formed” the way we are t doesn’t mean we should take their rights away from them.
- What about rape victims? Should they go through the pain of having an Unwanted child? And wouldn’t the child remind the mother of the attacker.
You will find that some women still love their children even if they were raped.
The child doesn’t necessarily remind the mother of their attacker either. In most cases the attacker is a complete stranger who attack women.
A life is a life and a Human is a human, And as revolting as the act of rape may be it cannot be considered the moral co-equal of life. Only life itself is ethically comparable to life. Therefore a sexual violation cannot possibly justify a death, particularly the death of one completely devoid of any criminal intention. Should a child be punished by death because of the actions of his father?
Once a women has gone through the emotional pain of being raped, nothing can be done to erase the emotional pain what’s done is done. If a mother was to have an abortion she would also have to go through the emotional pain in knowing that she killed an innocent life. It can help to know that even though you went through the pain and unfortunate event on being raped at least you know that you got a life out of it all. Good things can come out of bad. We know that there are one unfortunate victim after rape why make it two?
3.Abortion is ok before 3 months.
What are you do judge when life starts?
Is it right to kill a caterpillar in its cocoon?
What if one was to have an abortion 1 day after three months have passed? I presume that it would be ok one day won’t make a difference, ok then what about 15 days after three months have passed? Well I guess that could be ok but its starting to get a bit dicey here.
The point is you cannot decide when life starts or decide when having an abortion is ok. It’s clear that a sperm is life. Life starts at conception. Abortion is never ok! Even if it’s not quite in human form, it is still a life and will become a human just like a caterpillar in a cocoon will become a butterfly.
- Earth is overpopulated.
There is plenty of space for everyone! How can you say such a thing! Should we make such excuses as these to allow death? All human beings are valued. That baby that was aborted and killed could have been the next pope or prime minister!
All have the freedom to live no one should decide the fate of death on another.
5. Women should do what they want to their body.
No one has the right to take someone else’s rights.
Murder is against the law and against most religions.
Are you saying that it’s ok for a women to suicide, take illegal drugs or enter into prostitution? All these are against the law. The law is there to protect yours and other people’s rights and safety.
No body has absolute control over his/her body either in God’s eyes or secular law.
The argument “Freedom to do what I want with my own body” is a weak argument for we have rights and responsibilities. Can you imagine a man on trial in court for drink diving and running over people using this argument? The pedestrians’ right to protection of life would defiantly overrule any rights this person would argue about his body.
Its simple here no one has the right to murder others for the sake of her body.
What’s the point in having an unwanted child?
How can you call someone ‘unwanted’?
Most of the time when a Mother has an “unplanned” “unwanted” child it generally ends up that the child gets a lot of love in the end. Everyone has the right to life! No excuses no exceptions you cannot come up with an excuse for death!
There are no unwanted children only unwanting parents.
Cause I only use them if the other team mentions it.
