    Resolved: Unwanted Pregnancy Abortions should be banned in the US.

    Resolved: Resolved: Unwanted Pregnancy Abortions should be banned in the US. Definitions: Unwanted Pregnancy Abortions: abortions because of an unwanted pregnancy, not because of the endangered life of a mother. Banned: made illegal Value: The right to life must be held first and foremost. Throughout history a country is usually deemed as "evil" or "unjust" by the deaths of which they cause. E.g. Nazi Germany and Communist Russia. The right to life is the basic fundamental inherent right of each individual. When the right to life is not seen as foremost, then the action can be claimed unjust and therefore be made illegal. Contentions: I. Abortion violates the right to life. Abortion is the willing termination of an unborn child. This violates the right to life on both sides of the idea of life. First, according to the majority of the scientific community, life begins at implantation. Implantation is the attachment of the egg to the uterine lining. I.e. 10-12 days after conception. So, the only way that abortion would be permissible is if its in those 10-12 days. However, that is impossible. A pregnancy test only works after implantation. Therefore, once its implanted, abortion is murder, i.e. the premeditated killing of an innocent. Murder is illegal, therefore abortion should be illegal. Second idea: the judges don't concede the idea of implantation birth, then I would argue that it still violates the right to life because the 3rd section of the right to life, is the right to be born. Abortion takes this right away, therefore violating the right to life. II. Abortion is genocide. Genocide is defined as the intentional and systematic extermination of a specific group. The unborn is the group, the extermination is the genocide. Genocide is against international law, meaning it should be banned in all countries. Should we be like Hitler? He wanted all Jews exterminated because they were considered "unwanted". Let's not become that of which we wanted stopped. Abortion is genocide, it must be banned.
