Believe me, they weren't. I was at the debate that prompted the complaint.

The question that was debated was, "Should elective abortion be illegal?" The pro-life advocate, taking the affirmative, argued for the humanity of the unborn, and that if the Charter of Rights guarantees life as a human right, then it must extend to the unborn as well. When the rebuttal period came, the two women arguing the pro-abortion side complained that it was "unfair" that he had raised the argument from humanity (even though it had been agreed beforehand that no restrictions would be placed on the arguments used by either side). All they had was a circular argument, really: "Abortion should not be illegal because it's legal." (Duh.)

The pro-aborts got creamed because they weren't prepared to deal with the identity of the unborn.
