UVic Abortion Debate Stephanie Pt. 2

This is the second debate that took place on October 21st, 2009 at UVic. The room was overflowing for the first debate so a second one was held to fit everyone. Stephanie Gray was debating for the pro-life stance and Professor Eike Kluge was debating against her (he said he didn't represent anyone, but found the lack of anyone willing to debate appauling so he stepped in). The format of the debate was 20 minutes given to Stephanie followed by 20 minutes given to Professor Kluge. Stephanie had a 10 minute rebuttal, followed by Professor Kluge's 10 minute rebuttal. Finally there was a shared Q&A period to end things off.

True, however I would submit that if abortion is fine, it should not be repulsive to witness it... I have observed various medical procedures, and while they all involve blood, it is hard to argue that abortion is harmless if you see one.

One should know what one is defending.

@RationalRoundtable You can argue for life without the need to show shocking imagery, I don't really think it helps, it just make pro-choices hate you for using it.

If you want to make a point about how fetuses are people, you could show pictures of unborn (complete, not butchered)
