@fauxlaw

Double thanks for the feedback.

I think I have before, but next time I'll be sure to expand and source how the mind uniquely defines people.

Thank you both for voting!

@TNBinc

Probably a misclick.

@TNBinc

No clue

@TNBinc

People misclick all the time. That is why we need the mods. If there is none people will just report votes against them no matter how good or bad they are.

@MisterChris

wait why was my vote reported

Wow, very strong argument!

It's not moderated, so people are free to use what they like.

Idk, but it is better to just use English

@Intelligence_06

just used google translate lol. What would be the correct symbols for "concession"/"surrender"?

-->
@MisterChris

It means compromise.

-->
@MisterChris

I don't think that is what you mean.

I'm writing my rebuttals. If you would like I can include a side note of that (probably something something, Spartans are awesomeness, something something).

Way back on DDO I once started prepping a troll debate on fourth trimester abortions, with supporting evidence for the need to eliminate overgrown human cell clusters many years after they technically exited the womb but had since failed to intellectually develop into human beings (when doing a poll, I literally cited my two ex-brothers). ... Ok, I had to look it up, and I forgot how gloriously stupid the comments got!

@Barney

Like the kind where one guy proposed to use fetuses as money?

-->
@Barney

...though I am beginning to regret challenging one of the strongest debaters on the site while playing devil's advocate (I think it should just be legalized generally lol)

by the way this debate is going I fear Ragnar supporting euthanizing babies lol

-->
@Barney

Very solid argument!

@seldiora

> "as raising the born baby costs far, far more than just giving birth, and you could use this idea to euthanize the baby"

I may have to use that in a troll debate sometime.

@seldiora

I'm going to have more time for the next few days, and in dire need of a distraction, so happy to accept this direct challenge.

If you would like anything plugged into the full description, please let me know. A good example of this would be any important definitions (I'll probably agree to anything that isn't an extreme case of cherry-picking).

To avoid any confusion as you draft your R1: I presume your side of this debate is that abortion should be generally banned, with an exception for things that are very likely to kill the mother in the short-term (like ectopic pregnancy).
