According to biological fact, cum, (or sperm cells) are living organisms, but they are not people/human beings. Pre-born babies are living organisms and are also human beings/people. It always wrong to kill a human being/person. Furthermore, sperm cells contain 50% of DNA from the father and a part of the father but do not encompass the father as a whole. From the moment of conception we become whole individuals with our own unique DNA, equipped with the natural and immediate capacities to aquire characteristics that are only unique to the speicies Homo sapiens. While wearing a condom or using any other form of protection may kill sperm cells, this is justified as sperm cells are not human beings as a whole, although they are a part of certain human beings.
This is just rambling. You cannot wear a condom and not kill a human being. Abortion and wearing a condom both result in human being not being born. Preventing the creation of a human being is wrong, if human being is important enough to live. Abortion is moral, if human being is not important enough to live. Next, we will see why human being is not important enough to live.
If a fetus isn't a person in the womb, then what is a fetus in a womb? It is still a human being. Is it wrong to intentionally kill a human being? Yes.
What are your reasonings behind giving personhood after birth and not in the womb?
By same logic, cum is a human being. I already explained that personhood is arbitrary.
There are a lot of factors influencing why people rape or murder. Many psychologists agree that it is because of aggression, fear, hostility, and the desire to exert power over others. This could be because of pain and abuse suffered by the rapist/murderer during his/her lifetime or even genetic factors that make the person more prone to commit violent acts. However, not all people who suffer child abuse grow up to be abusers, rapists, or murderers. Granted, there is a strong correlation, but it is not 100% certain that the child may repeat the actions of their parents, especially if they are removed from that situation and given psychological help as soon as possible. Furthermore, there are many cases in which murder is commited in which the murderer has grown up in comfortable conditions with a strong family and it is just their psyche that has caused them to commit murder/rape against another human being. Or they could have had the best, most secure childhood and fallen into dire situations as an adult that caused them to commit horrible crimes. However, there are also people who have experienced almost the same level or no level of psychological trauma and carry the same genes and do not commit such atrocities. Therefore, just the process of birth and the entrance into this world does not automatically deem that someone is going to become a rapist or murderer or both
How is this a refutation to "Not being born prevents a person from being hit by a car, from being raped, from being rapist and other types of misfortune"?
If we said that all causes of death were births, then humans would have become extinct thousands of years ago.
Being born causes you to live for some time, get tortured and die. So no, humans would not become extinct.
Just by saying that if the mother aborted that the person wouldn't have gotten hit by a car doesn't make sense
Why it doesnt make sense?
because there could have been other factors which killed the adult in the future
"Other factors" doesnt change the fact that birth is the main factor for causing car accidents.
Furthermore, murder is an act of intentional killing. In this situation, the mother did not intentionally end the life of the child.
Intentionally gave birth = intentionally placed a child in a world where child will suffer and die.
She didn't plan the child's death and pick up a knife to kill him/her immediately after birth.
She tortured and killed a child by creating conditions in which child will be tortured and die.
What a poorly executed debate.
I cannot even bring myself to vote on it...since as Barney said, neither said met their BOP and I don't think it was a tie for anything.
