Reason:

Lucystarfire as always doesn't even try to make an argument. But pro just proposes an incredibly absurd topic that it isn't even possible to defend by argument. Anyways, another missed win from lucystarfire.

Reason:

Pro’s R1 asks a question that belongs in the Description because it asks for a different BoP than stipulated by the Resolve: “Abortion and homosexuality are two sides of the same coin.” By the Resolve, Con’s BoP is that Abortion and Homosexuality are not two sides of the same coin, but demands “do you support abortion prior to the development of a complete human being inside the woman, the womb of man?” which is not directed to the Resolve as a blanket acceptance of Abortion, but parsing it by time. And there is no mention of homosexuality in the question, but demands a forfeit should the question be ignored., which amounted to a quasi-early round blitzkrieg. That's not necessarily a detraction from Pro, but not an above-board argument: “The act of homosexuality disregards sexual reproductive sexuality.” This is patently false because at least one of the sexual partners can be a fertile female who declares being homosexual, but can have relations with the opposing sex, and become pregnant by those relations, regardless of whether the other partner in her sexual life is male or female. Therefore, the statement fails.
Con replied to the Pro R1 Question in R1, “No, I don't support abortion, but homosexuality is okay,” which de-links the “two sides of the coin” resolution, thus defeating the Resolve unless Pro can rebut in a succeeding round by arguing that abortion and homosexuality are not linked by any common thread, let alone by the rigidity of coinage.
Pro’s R2 appears as an extension, but is completely unresponsive to the Resolve, discussing Con’s potential ban. What has that to do with th4e debate?
Con’s R2 response amounts to an extension of argument, but recognized that the Resolve is incorrect, and therefore a relevant rebuttal more than merely an extension because of Con's de-linking rebuttal.
Pro’s R3 & R4 are, like R2, unrelated to the Resolve, and any argument supporting it.
Con, having successfully turned the Resolve to his favor, wins.
