My debate. Topic: Abortion

So, in my U.S Gov. class I have to do a debate against another student in the class. Personally, I think that this is just a waste of time, but we'll see what emerges from this debate.

My topic is Abortion and I am against it, pro-life. I hate the idea that when someone gets into a bad situation, there are so many easy ways out. This is life people, take a risk and see what happens; life could surprise you.

Many people who have abortions have abortions because it's the easy way out. But, is it really the easy way out? Would you really rather be known to the world as a murder, or as a responsible adult? Think about that.

Mother Teresa said:

"If we accept that a mother can kill her own child, how can we tell other people to not kill each other? Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want."

I completely agree with this quote. Abortion IS murder. You are taking someone's life from them, and it's worse than killing someone that is older. At least they got to live some of their life and experience some of what life has to offer and what their purpose in life is; the child didn't even get a chance to live, it was just killed off.

I agree that people do have a choice to decide what happens to them and their unborn child and that a woman has a right to her own body, but that still doesn't give her the right to decide whether or not another human lives or dies.

What if you (whoever you are reading this) had been killed? What if your mother had decided to have an abortion? You wouldn't be here today. You wouldn't have the life you have right now, and even though some of you might be thinking 'Good, I didn't want it anyway', it's still a serious thing. A life is a life and NO ONE has the right to take that away from ANY ONE, no matter how big or old they are.

My debate is actually a really good one, but I just don't have that many facts; I have mostly opinions. Gosh, if she had asked me to just to an essay, I would have freaking aced it! What the crap? Oh, well. We will have to see how it goes. Ill report back to you once it's over with. (I really just want to get this blasted thing over with!) Wish me luck!
