Topic is gonna be abortion. Specifically regarding whether or not abortion is permissible or impermissible. Il be pro life but I find it permissible if the "termination" or prevention of implantation occurs while it's still a zygote.

You chose as motion the possibility of abortion and whether is permissible or not.

Il be pro life but I find it permissible if the "termination" or prevention of implantation occurs while it's still a zygote.

This stance is, from the legal point of view, totally inexact, at least for my country law it is totally inexact because to perform abortion you need to do it within the twelfth week (so at the end of a 3 months period), but it usually happens sporadically after the seventh week because of the internal laws of the hospitals.

Another important thing about the abortion in Italy from the legal perspective is that beyond the twelfth week, abortion can be performed ONLY in dangerous cases.

So your stance from the biological point of view is actually inexact because the creature is a zygote in the very first day.

From the biological perspective we define a zygote the single cell formed by the fusion of a sperm and an egg during fertilization. It is diploid, containing a full set of chromosomes, and marks the beginning of embryonic development, undergoing cell divisions that lead to the formation of the embryo.

Which is the proof that abortion is permissible.

Thank you , I will complete my argument after your counter argument.

would like to add also that he embryo in the time period established to perform abortion is not yet sentient due to the weakness of the central nervous system. I rest my case
