Abortion: The premeditated and willful removal of a human fetus by all causes other than any form of spontaneous miscarriage, birth, or delivery procedure. The Plan B pill does not count.

RULES:
1. Burden of Proof is shared.
2. No Ignoratio Elenchis.
3. No trolls.
4. Forfeiting one round = auto-loss.
i mean, based on the definition given, its a truism debate. unless you argue the thing inside the person isnt human.
and that would be a very nuianced debate.
or you try to argue semantics of fetus.
Well, that one was easy.
Oh, I see.
I'm not entirely experienced with debating on this topic, however I still have a somewhat passionate opinion on this topic. I prefer to be con, abortion is not murder.
My bad, didn't see the comment made by Public-Choice at the time.
Maybe in a few days of time, would you be willing to debate this topic with me? Same definitions, parameters the same except possible change increase of word limit and on balance.
I think con could figure out how to win in this situation but it doesn't seem they are saying anything. Even with that, I want to see if they do in fact respond.
Yeah I forgot to respond... Thanks for the extension
“STANCES:

Seems pretty clear to me.
Just to be clear here. In this one you are arguing that abortion IS murder.
