What would my credibility be for my persuasive speech on Abortion?

For my persuasive speech im doing against abortion. Ive never had sex, so its not a personal experiance for me... So. help?|||1) The woman does suffer psychological damage after having an abortion, no specific sites or reports but everybody deep down views a a fetus as baby because if they have a miscarriage its not your fetus died, its your baby died.


2) The Baby is a living being with a human soul. Killing is murder, they did nothing to deserve it, they did not hurt us and are not a threat. The biological parents did the action of sex, why should the baby suffer and die. (this may work depending on where the speech is going to be)


3) adoption exists, there are many parents who want a child and sadly some cannot have children for one reason or another.


4) There is a danger in any surgery, why risk blades in the womb of a woman's body. when better options exist.


5) people regret having abortion later on in life, because they many be trying to conceive and can't, possibly due to the abortion.


Sorry about no specific websites, but I have hearing this for a long time, the key words should lead to information and studies.|||"If abortion is about women's rights, where were my rights?" - Madden, Gianna Jessen, an abortion survivor.



A reason against abortion is that it would be killing human life (it isn't just a lump of tissue- the unborn baby is a separate being to their mother and their genetics are decided as soon as the sperm enters the egg).



Maybe you could also compare the killing of unborn children to killing of those who are in comas. Just because life is dependant, it does not mean it belongs to someone else. No matter if the mother has been raped. Abortion has been known to only cause more trauma. Killing a baby won't un-rape someone- only love and pyschological help can help with that. (I'm not making this up by the way, my sister was raped, so I know the effects it has).



People are willing to buy their dogs fancy leads, dress them up and pay expensive vet fees, yet support the killing or our own species because they are unwilling to make sacrifices.|||You will probably have sex some day. You could be raped tonight, for that matter. It is smart to think about these issues before you are faced with the decision.


Learn about the experiences of women who have had abortions.


Learn about fetal development.


The facts are crucial to a good argument. The fact that you haven't been pregnant with an unplanned child doesn't change the facts.


Once you have decided what is right and what is wrong based on the facts and reason, you are in a better position to deal with the intense emotions of the situation.|||"Women should be allowed to choose."


"It's okay if the baby was born of rape."


"It's the woman's body. She has her own rights."


"It's not a baby until it's born."





All arguments FOR abortion, and completely unnecessary. These reasons are completely irrational, and have nothing to back it up.





1. Maybe so, but what if the unborn child is a female? If women have rights, then the unborn child does, too. If the child is female, then they have a right to choose as well as the mother.





2. Having an abortion does not undo rape or whatever caused this. The mother will still remain emotionally scarred, and an abortion will add guilt onto it. My aunt is a psychologist, and she took a survey and found out that women who have abortions are more likely to commit suicide or become depressed.





3. Going back to the first point. The child may be female meaning she shares the same rights as her mother. Children also have rights, and just because that child isn't born yet doesn't make it any less of one. That child has rights.





4. No, but it is a human. Do we call an adult a baby? Do we call a teenager a baby? Growth does not separate us; we are all human. The child is still a human and still has human rights. Disagree? Take a look at the child's genes, cells, and DNA, and then tell me I'm wrong.





Women who often have abortions tell themselves that it's not their fault, they're not losing anything etc. It is their fault, they are losing something, and it is MURDER. Oxford Dictionary states murder as, "The unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another." Abortion is exactly that. They also say that they won't regret it, but they will. They will already have motherly hormones regardless of how far they are in their pregnancy. Subconsciously, they will hate themselves for it.|||I would point to the fact that if anyone else killed that fetus the person would be charged with murder. Well, that implies a life is lost. So if a life is lost, then how come one person, without benefit of due process, can cause that killing? It's inconsistent. If we want to kill anyone else, unless they are threatening us with an immediate deadly attack, then we have to go through a big trial, and appeals and it takes 20 years.|||Zero. You either are presenting an emotional or a religious view, neither of which has credibility beyond your own beliefs. You obviously have to make your own decisions, but so must others.|||You don't have much.
