Debates

Alright cool. The topic that gets most people riled up is about abortions. I'm pro choice, but at my University if you even think about abortion being wrong, you'll be pelted by birth control pills (not really but you might as well be lol). Although I am pro-choice, I think the argument "I'm a woman I can do what I want with my body" is complete BS. I'm a bit biased because I'm a prosecution major but I really do think it's bs. By law, the fetus/baby is considered an individual. The law definition of homicide is the unlawful killing of another human being or fetus. Theoretically speaking, if a pregnant lady were to try to kill you, but you shoot her in self defense but you end up shooting the fetus as well, you can rightly be charged with manslaughter because the fetus is deemed as its own individual. So by that logic, the "it's my body I can do what I want with it" logic doesn't apply because the fetus is not your body, it's another individual. What are you guys ideas on this? Also thank you for contributing.
