In round 1, you were saying that a fetus was like an intruder in someone's house. However, the woman in most situations chose to have sex, and therefore accepted the risk of pregnancy along with it. As a result, the fetus would be more like of a guest then an intruder since the woman kindof consented when she chose to have sex (assuming she doesn't get raped).
You also mentioned what happens if she gets raped. Apart from the fact that only about 1% of abortions are due to rape, if you don't get raped, then the rape clause does not apply. If you were unlucky enough to get raped, you can set the kid up for adoption and (if you have proof, getting proof is easy) you can effectively sue the rapist for cash so this way the rapist pays up, the woman gets restitution for her pain (if I were in charge, I would make the legal penalty for rape a $2 million fine, $1 million of which goes to the victim). If the rapist can't pay the full $2 million, they are enslaved by the state, castrated, and sold to companies like Apple to make Iphones (so innocent Chinese kids don't have to make them) and the wages of the rapist would be garnished so they would go towards the rape victim. The rape victim should receive the money gradually instead of a lump sum so they don't end up like lottery winners.
"Per science, a human being is a species of Homo Sapiens" A Homo Sapiens is one type of human(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_sapiens). Orangutans are not a human species. They have different DNA. A zygote on the other hand, has all the necessary DNA to become a human being. Sorry for not responding at an earlier time.
To Americanize basically means to respect the US constitution, to know fluent English, to take and pass a course on US History and Civics and stuff like that. You said you weren't american. What country are you from? Just curious.
"America is a melting pot of different cultures that are capable of co-existing peacefully." Most of the cultures assimilate in public life very quickly. Hispanics are the exception because of their numbers. Since Hispanics have immigrated here at much higher rates then the Italians or the Germans or the Chinese, this enables them to keep their culture, which I'm worried could result in a separatist movement just like the historical examples I mentioned.
"But other than that I think the definition of being "american" should adapt as other cultures are blended into american society." The definition of an American is, "a native or inhabitant of the U.S. : a U.S. citizen" (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/American).
I don't know if the source of immigration matters. In all of the examples I mentioned, if the bigger power assimilated the smaller power, then the smaller power wouldn't want to secede to form their own country, since the locals would feel more aligned with the bigger power.
An example of this is if Spain assimilated Catalonia, then Catalonia locals would feel more Spanish and therefore would not want to form their own country. Instead, Spain chose to be multicultural and even agreed with the Catalonia that they could keep their culture if they don't break away. The thing is is that even though Catalonia agreed to this, the younger generation denounced the agreement and want to form their own country, ignoring the fact that Spain let them keep their own culture.
If the US broke up on the other hand, it would be significantly less able to defend freedom worldwide. Since the US would have to deal with a separatist movement from Latin Americans, it would mean it would be less able to focus on defending the world from North Korea(NK) and ISIS.
People say NK made peace with South Korea(SK), but whether or not this happens in the long term is up for speculation.
If the US is unable to deal with NK and ISIS due to the Latin American separatist movements, then SK and Japan both become communist from an invasion directed by NK and China because there is no USA to stop them. Russia would probably invade all of Europe because there is no USA to stop them and spread communism there. ISIS would take the middle east and all of Africa because there is no USA to stop them.
This will happen form the US being unable to fight them due to the US having a local Latin American conflict to deal with. Since the UN would preach, (Self determination, you should have assimilated them while you had the chance), the US would resist this and as a form of protest, eliminate the UN within it's borders, which is headquartered in the US. At best, the UN is headquartered somewhere else, at worst, it ceases to exist. The nations become more divided, even if they are already divided.
In summary, if Latinos are allowed to keep their culture, it would make them want to secede. This claim is backed up by some of the many times in world history that different cultures break away to preserve their culture. If the US breaks up, then freedom worldwide would be lost. Over 6 billion people would be under a communist system, with some Islamic law in there. I estimate that 600 million people would get killed under the fascist governments, because that's how they work; by killing all your political opponents.
Either immigrants endure the necessary assilimination pain or the US dies as well as life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

12:Roman empire vs their multiculturalism
All have in common? They are all on the basis of cultural differences between the parent country and the smaller power.
Why am I telling you this? Because I am afraid of the same thing happening to the United States (US).
Unassimilated Latinos are coming into this country and they are in the process of making super majorities in certain areas in the country. Once they accomplish this, they then will want to secede from the rest of the country.
If you think this is just nonsense, unfortunately, it's not. The president of Mexico has said that he is the president of 123 Mexicans; 100 million in Mexico and 23 million in the US. La Raza and MEChA, which aren't extremist groups, but they are mainstream activist groups, advocate for Mexico to take back the southwest US, even though the US bought this land for a very good price; about $750 million in cash and debt payoffs for land with less combined taxpayers than Tempe, Arizona, a place most people in this country can't locate on a map without guessing.
So, the US is probably going to break up on this basis and the only way to stop it is to force everyone in the US to Americanize.
There are people that are worried about how they would lose their culture. However, how is culture even important? It does not make you who you are, what makes the individual who they are are the things that they accomplish in life, not their ethnicity.
They like the freedom of religion part of the constitution when it applies to Muslims. They like the amendments that abolished slavery and made everyone who was born in the USA a citizen. They like the one that gave women the right to vote. They don't hate all parts of the constitution.
It's still poor conduct. You shouldn't insult other users even if they deserve it because it could cost a conduct point. If you think they are showing poor conduct, let the voters award you a conduct point.
I think people should be taxed solely off of sin taxes because I think it makes more sense to tax people for doing something bad like doing bad things then it is to tax people for doing good things, like making money. A tax is like a punishment, lets not punish good things. I support the abolition of the income, property, and corporate tax.
" you really don't think students can handle one extra class?" Given that many high school students have to deal with after school activities like sports, I don't know if they can handle 1 extra class. Sports end at 5:00. If you implement a Philosophy class for 45 minutes every day, then sports would end at 5:45, which is bad since it gets dark around that time during the middle of the school year.
As a high schooler myself, I don't know if I could handle more HW, especially during Junior year. I also don't know if I'm willing to take a philosophy class.
"Our students need to be pushed, we've been lagging behind the rest of the world in terms of academic scores for years now" This is an idea that I'm considering supporting and I've posted content like this before. Our education system would be more efficient if we had all of our students get educated by online schooling like Khan academy, with rewards handed out to kids based off of how many points they get. This way, school is more of a competition and this could cause grades/SAT scores to skyrocket, creating a smarter class.
Sorry about the confusion. Since he raps quickly, I thought the phrase, "A minimal swap to cop millions of PAC listeners" said, "A minimal swap to cop N***** are pop listeners".
"It would be equivalent to the credits needed for subjects such as math and English." I don't think we should have 4 years of Philosophy as a requirement. It seems too excessive. I don't think I'm willing to take that many of those classes and it would be tough on students.
How many credits should be necessary? I'm worried that the teachers could be hyper left leaning or right leaning and they would use the philosophy class as a way to indoctrinate the youth.
Your the one arguing the leftist position here. The person on the left wants Trump to pay the $1 million. You also got annoyed when people forfeited debates. You said that on DDO. So don't forfeit this one.
The USA protects freedom worldwide with our strong military. If it wasn't for the USA, 180 million South Koreans and Japanese would be living under communist rule.

"Science also says an Orangutan is a human being." How so? Does it have all the necessary chromosomes?
Science confirms that a fetus is a human being. It therefore should be recognized as a person under US and international law.
Good luck to my opponent.
