I beileve abortion is wrong. Change my mind.
I want to start this off by addressing one of the comments. Your argument assumes that I beileve in the concept of heaven/hell, which I don't.
I beileve that abortion is the killing of an innocent life, that if given the chance to survive, would lead a life similiar to any other life.
You can't just kill a 3 year old child if you don't want it, thats murder. Why is abortion any different?
Forfeiture.
Con gave a unconvincing argument, all of which are rebutted by Pro. However, Con does not rebut any of this.
Con failed to provide any sources to support his claim, unlike Pro.
Con started off with a argument accusing Pro of something he never claimed with two errors. These are the words beileve and thats. Believe is spelt like this: B-E-L-I-E-V-E. I suppose that Con was trying to write that's instead of thats (I don't know if it's a spelling error or he simply forgot to type the apostrophe).
Con also forfeited most of the rounds, which is poor conduct.
As a result, I have to give all the points to Pro (I've no other choice).

https://facts.net/history/culture/adoption-facts says that 80% of foster kids get adopted within 5 years. The quote I found is:
"Nearly one in five children in this system remains in foster care for five years or more before being adopted."
This was the least promising stat I found about this.
https://adoptionnetwork.com/adoption-statistics states that 89% of foster kids get adopted within 5 years. The quote I found is:
"11 percent spend 5 years or more waiting for a family"
Of course the system is going to display their stats in a negative way, but if an overwhelming majority of foster kids get adopted within 5 years, and some get adopted beyond 5 years, it would seem that the foster kids end up fine.
That's assuming anyone else is going to even want to adopt the baby
I feel like reviving this debate, but it's what adoption is for.
I mean, sure you can put the rapist in jail, but you still have to deal with a baby that nobody wants or asked for.
Correct. They can't all be true :)
We put the rapist in jail. Killing the baby makes no sense.
At most, only 1 religion is correct. If 10 people witness a hit and run, all their accounts will be similar. But the bible and the Quran contradict each other. For example, the Bible claims Jesus is God whereas the Quran does not claim this.
Interesting. I'm curious how you arrived at the Conclusion that because there are multiple religions, this means God doesn't exist. 10 people that witness a hit and run may have 10 different depictions of the suspect. Does the fact that they defer, perhaps even contradict each other, mean that the suspect doesn't exist? Perhaps it means only 1 of them is correct?
My rationale is that if God doesn't exist due to the multiple different religions, then there is no incentive to kill a fetus to send them to a heaven that doesn't exist.
oh yea? If you're being sarcastic, the sarcasm doesn't translate well on this thingy...
I'm pro life now.
Eh, you can't really pick and choose Scripture in order to make your position "right". SOrry, it doesn't work like that.
Abortion is evil. Killing babies is evil. Murdering is evil.
>>By mentioning rape, your basically conceding all abortions where the women doesn't get raped.
You don't even understand what is happening in the debate if you made that response.
The creator of the debate used an analogy as his/her argument. The burden is on the other side to provide an analogy where they would consider them to be for that analogy but against in the position they are defending which would mean it is contradictory.
Thankfully the contender brought sources because they didn't get into evidence behind abortions or their stances on abortion. You have again you don't know what you are talking about.
By mentioning rape, your basically conceding all abortions where the women doesn't get raped.
What country are you from if English isn't your 1st language?
A dead baby goes to heaven. A living baby will probably go to hell according to Mathew 7:13. What's better for the baby? I used to be pro life, but now, I'm pro choice.
