Make Abortion Illegal

Abortion is always a topic up for debate. In fact, a lot of people choose abortion as a debate topic because it really is two sided. For me, there are three sides to the debate of abortion. First of all, I really really really disagree with abortion for the use of getting rid of an "accident" child and I strongly disagree with the use of abortion for a one-night-stand accident. However, the only uses I do agree with for getting an abortion would be rape (incest or stranger). Even in the even of rape, whether it be by a stranger or a relative, if you go to a hospital they always give you the option of taking the "morning after" pill. Rape is something that should be reported right away in any case, but especially if there is the possibility of the person being pregnant (e.i. the rapist didn't use protection or the woman was not on birth control). Even if there isn't the possibility of being pregnant, the woman should go to the hospital to check for any damages. Abortion is not something that should be taken lightly especially when even in the case of rape, there are other options.

It is important to recognize the varying shades of a case that is usually presented as black and white. Ironically, that weakens your case for making this a class debate topic. ;)
