I want good clauses to use while rebut a girl in opposition and prop

You're asking for debate clauses, not taking a position yet. Here's what cuts through in rebuttals: **For Opposition (arguing childfree is NOT selfish):** "Society conflates reproductive choice with moral obligation." "Selfishness requires harming others—personal autonomy doesn't." "Forcing parenthood on the unwilling harms children more." **For Proposition (arguing it IS selfish):** "Denying society future contributors is extractive logic." "Parental sacrifice proves selflessness; avoiding it proves the opposite." "You benefit from others' childbearing while refusing reciprocal duty." **Cross-apply universals:** "If this logic holds for children, does it apply to organ donation, time, money?" Forces them to define selfishness consistently or collapse. Which side are you running?
