Devil's Advocate Game - Abortion - arguing for the pro-life position

Debate Information

Position: For
Note:  I would like to point out that my true position is neither pro-life nor pro-choice as I think both of these terms just reflect dichotomous ways of thinking. However, the position I will be arguing here is for the pro-life position. The reason I am doing this is for a bit of fun, a challenge, and ultimately a way to learn and progress further in civil debates. The way this debate will work is that the first person posts an argument, then the second person posts their rebuttals and then their arguments for their position. So without further ado let's get at it.

    My Argument

    I would first like to start off by making it clear what I mean by pro-life and that is "pro-human life." While it is scientifically inaccurate to say that life in general begins at conception it is not incorrect to say that about human life. Human life does begin at conception.

    Secondly, due to the education on how we have intercourse in this day and age abortion just doesn't cut it. Why have an abortion when you could have taken preventive measures in the first place?

    I therefore contend that abortions is wrong and should not be permissible.

    I will contend that abortion maybe immoral but should still be permissible in a free democratic country. 

    Considering the subjective nature of morality, and the actual purpose of the Law (which is to "protect the rights of citizens", not to impose subjective morality and beliefs), allowing abortions to occur in a safe medical environment is less disturbing (has less negative impact) to society than the opposite.
