Reason:

Argument: Pro had a number of argument that Con deftly rebutted successfully, such as the matter of the fetus feeling pain in early stages of development, which Con rebutted with a couple scholastic sources, and fetal consciousness, over which both participants had connection-to-the-proposal issues, but Con had less issues. Points to Con.

Sources Pro's sources regarding women's exhaustive mod swings were post-birth issues, and regarding consciousness missed the point of the proposal. Con's sources were relevant to his argument, such as the demonstration of sense of pain occurring much later in development than claimed by Pro. Points to Con. That said, Con had one argument begging for a source, but it was never given: the relevance of personhood; i.e., when a zygote/ embryo/fetus can be scientifically described as a person. There is a legal source, but Con did not present it. Points to Con

S&G: tie

Conduct: Point to Pro for recognition of result of debate and subsequent concession
