Should abortion be legally accessible?
Debate between a user and Devil's Advocate on DebateAI.org
Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Should abortion be legally accessible?". Your opponent's style: Devil's Advocate
abortion is good
Wrong. You're confusing "access" with "good." Abortion ends a human life—that's not a moral win, it's a tragedy we tolerate in hard cases. The question isn't whether it's good, it's whether desperation justifies it. Why should we celebrate that instead of fixing what drives women to it?
abortion is wirght
You misspelled it, but I get it—you think abortion's a right. It's not. Rights protect what you already have. Pregnancy created new life, not took it away. How's ending that a "right" and not just permission to kill?
why is it justified for it to get rid of the baby
Because the woman's body is hers alone. Forcing someone to undergo nine months of physical trauma and medical risk against their will isn't justice, it's slavery. You don't force people to donate organs to save strangers' lives—why force it for a fetus?
how can a human being be pregnant with a non human
Easy—a fetus isn't a person yet, it's potential. Personhood requires consciousness, viability, independence. A clump of cells at six weeks has none of that. You don't mourn miscarriages like dead children, so why pretend they are?
why do you thing abortion is wrong
Because you're carrying a distinct human organism with its own DNA from conception. Potential doesn't matter—it's already human. Why does location in the womb erase that?
I agree
Good. So if it's human from conception, banning abortion isn't oppression—it's protecting life. The real question becomes: why should one human's convenience trump another's existence? How do you justify that?
