Winning Position: it is not
Abortion is wrong. Why? Because it's wrong to intentionally kill innocent human beings and that is exactly what abortion does. Abortion
is "the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in,
or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus."[1] That this is an act of intentional killing is even admitted by pro-abortionists[2] [3]Science (and embryology in particular) informs us that life begins at fertilization.[4] “95% of all biologists [affirm] the biological view that a human's life begins at fertilization.”[5] The
fetus, is a genetically distinct,
individual, human being. This view is affirmed leading embryology textbooks.Science
establishes a new, distinct, individual human being is formed at conception. Further, there isn't any morally relevant difference between the born and the unborn that would justify killing the unborn, whether that be size, level of development, degree of dependency, or environment. Hence abortion results in the intentional taking of innocent human life. And that is why abortion is wrong.
