Description

I will be waiving the first round because my opponent is making the positive claim. They will waive the last round.

Yeah, my first argument I did in Word docx and then converted to Google docs. But the last few in the debate I did directly in the DebateArt Publish editor.
Thanks for your help!

@sigmaphil

I've had good luck with all formatting from google docs transferring over (except those highlighted indented "quotes"). Mixed results with word. But glad to know everything except hyperlinks will transfer from word to docs to debateart.

@Speedrace

Okay I published my First argument. I would appreciate any advice if I make a mistake in my structure or wording as I am new to this. Thanks for the opportunity to challenge you on this debate. I look forward to your reponse.

@Speedrace

Well I finished my First argument which I did in Windows Docx format. I then uploaded it to Google Drive and converted it to a Google Docs file. It looks good and has all the Hyperlink formats working, but when I go to copy and past in the Publish section of the Debate the Hyperlink formats do not carry over, so it looks like I will need to redo all the hyperlink formats, which I used for verse links and definition links. Ugh! Do you have any suggestion? Is there a better way?

@BrotherDThomas

Well I'm going to do my best! :-)
Thanks for your kind words.

sigmaphil,

As a TRUE Christian, it would be hard to posit that our Judeo-Christian bible would outlaw any type of abortion because of the examples that it has given us where abortions were done, and at times they were brutally accomplished. I am probably preaching to the choir, whereas our bible is hardly pro-life to innocent zygotes, fetus,' and babies.

May Jesus be with you in this debate, praise!

No rush!

@Speedrace

Bear with me friend I am working on the structure of my points along with the sources to support that structure. I'm hoping to finalize the first argument by noon tomorrow (Nashville, TN CST time)

Okay got it! Will publish the First argument as soon as possible. Thanks!

@Speedrace

I accept your challenge. Am I correct that I am to provide the first argument?
