Description

I believe that Roe v. Wade was not Constitutional for it was not envisioned by the Founding Fathers or at any other time.

Hi RM - thank you for the feedback.

Your opponent said it wasn’t written down in the constitution - this is accurate. You didn’t refute that point; even though I know (given the constitution) that it doesn’t matter. As I don’t bring my knowledge of the constitution to the debtate - his argument was dropped by you, and as you didn’t refute
It - a TR judge must accept it as true.

Your point was unrefuted, but was also terrible - stating that because other unrelated things are accepted - this can be considered too. This is a terrible point that I came close to rejecting on the grounds of inherent warrant - and that if I accept your argument I can’t tell if the resolution is affirmed or not, as most of your argument seemed tangential.

I offered my specific critique of the legal aspects - in order to potentially help you grow as a debater, and realize more reasonable angles of attack.

OF COURSE it was not constitutional. Nothing is constitutional. the SCOTUS really just votes for whatever party controls the court. Especially now, where after ruining Kavanaugh's life they think the SCOTUS will EVER vote for them. Really stupid
