Debate The abortion debate, live and 1v1 on camera
Pro-choice vs pro-life is one of the most searched debates online. Argue your side on camera with someone who disagrees.
Abortion sits at the crossroads of bodily autonomy, when life begins, and the role of the state. Few topics are more searched or more personal.
What each side argues
Pro-choice
- A person controls their own body
- Bans endanger women's health
- The choice belongs to patients, not politicians
Pro-life
- A fetus has a right to life
- Many argue life begins at conception
- Society should protect the most vulnerable
These are common positions, not the full picture. The best arguments come out live, when someone has to defend them in real time.
How it works
- Check your camera and mic. Debaters go on camera; viewers don't have to.
- Pick the Abortion topic and get matched with someone taking the opposing side (Pro-choice vs Pro-life).
- Debate live in a public room. The audience chats and a challenge timer rotates new debaters in so everyone gets a turn.
- The crowd can flag a debater off or vote to extend the clock.
