Abortion Debate With a Twist: Play a Devil's Advocate

This debate is different; you must choose and defend the side that you are against. This is an excellent exercise.

So when a woman comes in for an abortion..., we grab the little bastard with the forceps and give it a little extra twist to make he's a gonner ;)

Hmm.. back in my old debates I always choose the pro-life. So, now Im choosing this side.

Pro choice. Ok then. I think it was the woman's right to do what she wants with the baby. She is the one carrying it so, no matter if the baby or as some others call it, a fetus, is innocent, the mother is still the one who has the right if she wants to abort it. Besides, not all people can deliver and have many reasons for doing abortion, and not just to get rid of the baby. Some others do it because of risk factors with the mother and child.

Its simple. The key and fundamental characteristic of any democratic society is freedom of choice. If we make abortions illegal we are violating that freedom that every citizen has. Another reason for supporting the availability of abortions is that if it is illegalised we are opening women up to the possibility of back alley abortions which would be most definitely detrimental to the health of the women, which in this debate, I think should be the focal point. The rights and freedom of the mother trumphs all.

Yeah, not to mention that back alley abortions are more detrimental to health because the things in there could not be sterilized, leading to more infections brought to the mother.

The human soul enters the body at the moment of conception so killing that "cell" is bad.

OR

What if science discovers that "consciousness" starts at week 1. That would mean even early stage abortions are killing conscious humans right now. We should stop abortions in case this turns out to be the case.

How can I defend the antichoice stance? I will do no such thing. :'(
