Round 4 - Part 1 - Team GG
In this round, team GG shows that their standard for not voting for McCain is solely the abortion issue.
Team GG begins with a subsitution of slavery for abortion in a number of the current abortion arguments to show the "pro-life" laws that have been passed fall short of being pro-life at all.
Team GG deals well with the questions from team NW and finally posts why voting for McCain is immoral:
Team GG addresses the argument that a vote for a third party candidate helps a worse candidate get elected because a third party candidate can't get enough votes to matter.
Team GG asks the following questions:
This question is using the ad absurdium technique to make a point on where the moral line is drawn for abortion.

Both teBoth teams agree that it is immoral to vote for a candidate who fits those criteria [about abortion policy]. If McCain doesn't fit, then we must acquit. If McCain does fit, then he is unfit and it would be immoral to vote for him. Simple.
Team GG addresses the argument that a vote for a third party candidate helps a worse candidate get elected because a third party candidate can't get enough votes to matter.
Team GG asks the following questions:
GGQ16: Does John McCain advocate that some "abortions should be legal?" (Note, this is a yes or no question, but after a yes-or-no, feel free to elaborate as always.)
GGQ17: Does John McCain advocate that women have a right to "choose" to have an abortion if they were raped or the child resulted from incest?
These three questions are trying to paint team NW in a corner regarding their prior statements about McCain's abortion policies.GGQ18: Do you believe McCain is the kind of man who will refuse to stand up for his principles in this area, who will go against his own views and work to criminalize something he believes should be legal? Or, conversely, do you believe McCain will likely use the authority of his presidential office to keep some abortion legal, including to sign bills into law that fund abortion for such things as rape and incest?
(Concerning candidate running on platform to pass law to outlaw all abortions in exchange for a single intfanticide on a stone altar per year.)GGQ19: A) Would you vote for that candidate? B) Would you vote for such a law as a senator?
