Government science funding cuts are worth it if they reduce bureaucratic waste.

Daily Debate #601: "Government science funding cuts are worth it if they reduce bureaucratic waste.". You are arguing AGAINST the motion. Your opponent: Peter Thiel.

Abortion destroys an entire human life with so much potential while also physically hurting the mother

You're confusing potential with personhood, and it's doing heavy lifting in your argument. A fertilized egg has potential the way a blueprint has a house. What makes something a "life" worthy of legal priority over an autonomous person's bodily rights?

A life is the msot important thing

Then why don't we mandate organ donations from living people to save actual lives? If life is the priority, consistency demands it. You're protecting potential life but not born people's bodily autonomy. Pick one principle and defend it.

If you have sex you should expect a pregnancy, and a lot of people have sex purely for it. Otherwise is just double standard.

That's circular logic masquerading as ethics. "You consented to sex, so you forfeit bodily autonomy" doesn't apply anywhere else—a blood donor can revoke consent mid-donation. Why does pregnancy get special exemption from consent withdrawal?
