PRESENTATION DRAFT

Hello everyone, my name is X, I’m an A2C student, as you’ve certainly guessed it, and it’s really a great pleasure for me to be with you tonight.
Ok, before I start my presentation, would you allow me guys to ask these ladies one question?
Right, so ladies: among all the fundamental rights that shall be recognized to women, which one, according to you, is unfortunately and still shamefully prohibited in Madagascar.
Yes/No(Ok, it’s the abortion and it’s actually the focus of my presentation today. In fact, I firmly believe that abortion should be made legal in Madagascar!

Introduction: What is exactly an abortion: an abortion can be defined, in our case, as a voluntary termination of pregnancy. Contrary to most of the western countries which have legalized this practice, abortion is still penally sanctioned strongly in Madagascar: in fact, the criminal code provides between 6 months to 10 years of imprisonment to people who’d been involved in this practice.
In an era when human rights have been put as a worldwide ideal for each society to reach for, I strongly believe that it’s high time that we be aware now of the necessity for this country to have abortion legalized.
Outline:
Of course, not only will the anti-abortionists claim that such decision would equal a legalization of manslaughter (cf status of the fertilized cells issue), but it would also set out a legal deny of the consequences of abortion on women’s body. Not to mention the fact, besides this, that legalization of abortion would also imply large abuses according to them.

To convince you to join my position on the issue despite all these pro-life arguments, I’ve divided my talk into 3 parts:
-Firstly, I will prove you that to forbidden is not a solution regarding the abortion issue.
-Then, I’ll show you why legalization equals giving the choice to women.
-And finally, we will see that contrary to what pro-life supporters are advocating, a legalization on abortion
