Abortion (Pro-Life)
Debate Speech Outline - Deputy Prime Minister (Government)
By Matthew Zwicker

Purpose: To persuade the audience that Western Democracies should significantly restrict
               abortion.

Central Idea: Abortion should be restricted.

I.                   Introduction

A.       (Refocus audience again)
Mr. Speaker, members of the Class, I am here today to help stop the massacre that is occurring on our very streets.

                                                              1.      We are here to say that western democracy should significantly restrict the monstrosity and malicious murder called abortion.

B.      I will

                                                              1.      clarify in rebuttal what the Leader of the Opposition said,

                                                              2.      then I will tell you may hear from the Opposition Team later on,

                                                              3.      then I will continue on with my points which are

 i.      Life begins at conception and

ii.      Abortion is separation and segregation.

II.                Body

A.       (Rebut Leader of the Opposition’s questions)

                                                              1.      (Defend the ethical credibility of Prime Minister points)

B.       (Either transition here into what they will say, and give a rebuttal to what they would say – OR – go one to state my points)

C.       Points

                                                              1.      (Transition) The Vietnam War; no one wanted it.

i.         It was sponsored by the few,

ii.       Using tax payers money,

iii.      Fueling a war that coasted the lives of about 47,000 people within a
  period of just nine years.

iv.       Today, we are now faced with a similar war,

a.       Not a war on terrorism, not a war on rights, but a war on life,

b.      Where not just 47,000 have been killed, but 14,000,000 innocent lives have been murdered within 54,559,615years of Roe vs. Wade.

                                                            2.      However, what you will hear the Opposition team say is that these people who are murdered aren’t even people, they are demeaned as an individual and called a “fetus”.

i.      But no one says “Oh! The fetus kicked!” or “I’m going to give birth to a fetus.” No; no one says that. People call it a “baby”, an actual human being.

ii.      Life begins at conception.

a.       Life begins at conception; this phrase isn’t just an opinion, but a fact. This is the House of Representative’s Bill 374, aka the “Life at Conception Act”. Which reads:

                                                                                                                                      1.      “To implement equal protection for the right to life of each born and preborn human person, and pursuant to the duty and authority of the Congress, including Congress’ power… the Congress hereby declares that the right to life guaranteed by the Constitution is vested in each human being…”

                                                                                                                                    2.      “The terms “human person” and “human being” include each and every member of the species homo sapiens at all stages of life, including the moment of fertilization, cloning, or other moment at which an individual member of the human species come into being.”

3.      It includes fertilization; fertilization is when the egg is fertilized by the sperm; that is when life begins; right from that very moment.

4.      It’s a beautiful thing, for at that moment, life is given to an individual, a human being.

b.      However, speaking about the individual, the refuting team declares woman’s rights.

                                                                                                                                      i.      But when has it ever entered out mind that we should give preference over one person from another.

ii.      For when one decides to take away some individual’s life, and say that it is a constitutional right, I am bold to say that this is sickeningly wrong, an act against humanity.

                                                          3.      (Transition) For America was founded on equality. As found in the Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,”

i.      All men, all humans, all people are created equal.

a.       So why give preference toward a mother, who has a voice, and let the one individual, who doesn’t have a chance to give his or her say, to refute and to defend his or her innocent life.

b.      It is clearly seen here that separation and segregation are still a hot topic on today’s social norms.

                                                                                                                                      1.      Should we segregate the lesser person by esteeming the words of the higher person more than lowly? Surely we are separating equality here.

2.      For without say, without the right to a fair trial, without the right to life, there is no such thing as equality; but in separation and segregation.

ii.      The Declaration of Independence continues saying:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

a.       “Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” There can be no pursuit of happiness if there is no liberty; and neither can there be any pursuit of happiness not liberty if there is no life.

b.      If life is taken away, then everything that we’ve hoped and dreamed for has been skewed and falsified, because life is meaningless if we dare even think that life could be meaningless in certain aspects.

III.             Don’t let anyone persuade you into the horrible thought that taking away a person’s life is a right.

a.       Never give in to the persuasiveness of those who want to take away life.
