Description

I beileve abortion is wrong. Change my mind.

-->
@Christen

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.

@Alec

That's assuming anyone else is going to even want to adopt the baby

-->
@Christen

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.

-->
@Alec

Correct. They can't all be true :)

-->
@Debaticus

We put the rapist in jail. Killing the baby makes no sense.

@GuitarSlinger

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.

-->
@Alec

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?

-->
@GuitarSlinger

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.

-->
@Alec

oh yea? If you're being sarcastic, the sarcasm doesn't translate well on this thingy...

-->
@GuitarSlinger

I'm pro life now.

@Alec

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.

@Alec

>>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.

What country are you from if English isn't your 1st language?

@Fireblem2019

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.
