Thank you for accepting the debate! Here are my premises:

Premise 1: Morality can be expressed as a scale, with good being positive and bad being negative, and equilibrium, or net-zero being achievable.

Premise 2: Assuming no moral externalities, like an upset spouse, conceiving a baby morally neutralizes, or cancels out, killing a baby.

Premise 3: The right to bodily autonomy is always morally positive on the hypothetical scale.

Premise 4: Therefore, assuming no moral externalities, abortion is moral because the hypothetical moral scale is net-positive.

If you have any contentions with my premises or conclusion, please respond with them. Thank you again!

Cross-Examination
Ensnare: I don't know what cross-examination is.
Postuma601: Where might you be getting yor ifrmation form or are your premises purly opinion?
Postuma601: A cross-examination is where I ask you questions and then you answer them. The next cross will be after my fist speech.
Postuma601: I do belive that all of your premises are just one about what morality is. Do you have any thing eles to rest your case on?

Premise 1: The parent has rights AND RESPOSIBLITY
I will ask you one or two things one look up the definition of fetus, embryo, and child you would find that they are very similar a fetus is a young embryo an embryo is an unborn child. Next if you get interested and search does a child have constitutional rights you would most defiantly find a strong yes.
I believe that our founding fathers the framers of our country had the best views of morality in minds as they wrote the constitution. Just as a child is initiated to a lawyer and the right to silence they also have the right of life library and happiness. 
The right to take a child's life is not a part of being a parent. 

Premise 2: What is moral? Is it just opiated? Who do we leave it up to?
These are about the best questions to ask I would say we leave it up the most qualified people the FRAMERS OF OUR COUNTRY.
