Description

No information

Initial thoughts on this one:

Key definitions should really be in the debate description, along with which country's standard for left/right are to be measured for racism.

I'll defend Wikipedia as a source. About 10 years ago it was not trustworthy (at least to an academic level), but any controversial topics now get protected from the general public.

The bulk of sources should not be saved for the final round (it happens, even to me), as they cannot be responded to, so are of much lower value than they otherwise would be.

The comment section is not the debate itself, as much as it is a discussion of it. Borrowing arguments from it can be useful (reword them), they can technically be used as a source (copy the link from the comment number), but it's best to avoid just saying that someone happened somewhere in them.

Affirmative Action is a poor term for Positive Discrimination.

The PRENDA act was blocked because you can't actually tell when someone is performing or wishes to perform a discriminative abortion. Realistically, there's no way to tell if such a crime is to be committed, or can be recognized. You would have to make wild guesses, largely upon the receivers race, which is extremely racist in itself.

Thus, such a law can only restrict the abortion rights of minortities. Finally, there are no studies which conclusively show that women undergo race-selective abortive procedures in the first place

And yes, I'd have that view whether or not I was an a botched abortion or accident in a prolife nation. I do not use my own existence to bias my outlook.

I actually do support that, you should only be alive at the mercy of your ancestors, but that being said the issue is about complete inability to prove.

Liberal Logic:

A pregnant women says the N word: Hate speech. Racism. Must be banned. Speaker must be punished.

A pregnant women kills an unborn fetus because they are black: Their body, their choice. This racism is okay.

I'm sure the US gov has their ways of finding out if the abortion was race based or not. How do they catch people who commit other crimes? The bill didn't pass to begin with because of the democrats in office.

How can you prove that they aborted the foetus due to its scanned gender or predicted race? Stupid law to pass.
