College students who support abortion typically offer six reasons for their views. Below are rebuttals for each one: Reason#1 -- I'm not ready to be a parent. A baby will ruin my life. Rebuttal --If you have helped to conceive a baby you are already a parent. Reason#2 --The circumstances of my pregnancy are unfair. I hate the father of this baby. Rebuttal --Do you favor killing a child for the sins of the father? Reason#3 --A fetus is not fully human. It's not like me. Rebuttal --Should the right to life be based on size, form or function? Reason#4 --It's best for the baby. Who wants to grow up unloved? Rebuttal --Is violence ever a good substitute for not being loved? Reason#5 --Abortion is legal. It's a woman's choice. Rebuttal --Slavery was also once a legal choice. Reason#6 --It's a woman's body. I don't want this baby. Rebuttal --Selfishness should not be lawful if it harms another person. What about the baby? |
