In my opinion they haven't been made well at all. (If you don't like it that's too bad.)

I'm with the majority. I don't have to provide anything. In a genuine debate, the onus is on the minority.

There will always be people who steal, no matter whether it's illegal or not--despite that it's illogical and cruel, so society shouldn't keep enforcing it. People have always stolen.

Again, attempting to associate "stealing" and "murder" with abortion. That may work for you and and other radical fundamentalists but it doesn't work in debate.

And again, this didn't work before, and it most certainly will not work now.

Your interpretation of what is considered "murder" is different from what most of society considers murder. (FYI: Murder is a legal term and "abortion" doesn't equate murder in the eyes of the law.)
I suggest you tone your rhetoric down. Your posts for the most part are too divisive for genuine debate.
Debate is supposed to be convincing the opposing side in some way.
Convince the majority that a zygote deserves the same Constitutional Rights that a newborn has.
