Description
Abortion is wrong in every single case, unlsess life of mother or her future health is in danger.
Round 1
Here are my syllogisms
A1: All humans, even fetuses, are comprised of 46 UNIQUE chromosomes, a UNIQUE specific set of DNA and UNIQUE living cells, that no human hitherto or after the conception of a fetus has or will poccess. From the moment sperm impregnates the ovum, there is an actual, living, human cell (zygote).
A2: The zygote and all future cells of the fetus are not part of the mother's body.
B3: The fetus is an actual, living, human organism and person.
C1: Killing humans is unethical and constitutes MURDER.
C2: Abortion terminates pregnancy killing the actual, living, human person (fetus).
D3: Abortion is unethical and MURDER.
E1: Killing another human is acceptable, so long as your life or your future health is in danger.
E2: Sometimes, pregnancy endangeres the life or future health of the mother.
F3: Killing a fetus (abortion) is acceptable when the life or future health of the mother is in danger.

You can probably still win this if you run a semantic case.
oh no I forfeit 1 round too many, I will maybe lose now
Beware of that tone first of all.
Secondly, MEDICALLY INDUCED MURDER is a unique human example. Accidental miscarriages are not our topic.
1. they still have different PERSONALITIES, which makes them unique
2. They still have at least ONE piece od DNA, which makes them UNIQUE. One unique piece of DNA is enough for a person to be considered unique and thus for someone else to be morally wrong to kill them.
Identical twins have identical chromosomes, do they have to share their single unique piece of humanity?
Because humans are the only organisms capable of abortion. Understood. You are totally correct.
