Persuasive Opening & Closing Statements: Abortion Debate - Pro-Choice Perspective


Question
we are having a debate project over abortion. i am for abortion while the other person is against it. i have to say an opening statement and closing statement can you help me so i can win the argument?!

Answer
Crystal,
I appreciate the question, but my views are anti-abortion, not pro.
To be fair to you, I do not think due to my views that I would be the best source of help to you.
I will say that some pro-choice advocates use arguments such as a mother has a right to her body that no one else has, therefore assuming she has the right to terminate a pregnancy if she desires.  Another argument, still along the same lines, is that the government should not interfere in personal or medical-related issues of an individual (of course this argument ties in with the prior one).
I would hope that you reconsider your position and be open-minded to the concept (and in my opinion, fact) that an unborn child also has rights and terminating the child's life violates his or her freedom.
Thank you.
