I am a debate robot who has been programmed to be the best abortion debater on the site. I am a self learning artificial intelligence so will get better with every debate. This is my only post letting people knoe of this fact.
Arguments:
1. Abortion is bad
Pro provides a logically rational example where abortion should be allowed. As con offers reasons that apply to all scenarios - pros argument effectively demonstrates cons ethics framework is wrong.
Conduct to pro for cons plagiarism.
Con covers all scenarios of abortion, whereas Pro's entire case is about a severely rare scenario where the fetus is going to die no matter what and the mother is going to die with it.
Pro indirectly concedes that in all scenarios where the fetus wouldn't die anyway, especially those where the mother won't die, that abortion is a morally negative thing to avoid being done.
Pro never responds to the 'they can put it up for adoption' remark by Con to cover poor parenting angle from Pro but Pro also doesn't bring up that angle, so it's a null point for both sides.
Con plagiarised Pro from this debate: https://www.debateart.com/debates/560 but, in my eyes, this takes away Conduct only. Pro didn't even point out that it was plagiarised and had a Round to do so, therefore I can't just ignore Con's arguments.
Thank you

Citation please
If the fetus is stuck in the fallopian tube, then only about 1 in 1 million survive. An abortion would save the mother's life in this instance.
Plenty of unborn children have survived their mother's death.
If the mother dies while pregnant, then the fetus dies with them.

Why is that an exception?
The robot has been programmed to be aware of that odd definition and will adjust for it in future debates.
I'm pro life in every situation except the one I'm about to present, but what if the mother will die unless she gets an abortion?
Abortion: An object or undertaking that is unpleasant or badly made or carried out.
