CONS
Emergency contraceptive pills can have serious, harmful side-effects including nausea, vomiting, infertility, breast tenderness, ectopic pregnancy and blood clot formation. Nobody knows the long-term effects.
Emergency contraception is a form of abortion. It works by preventing a fertilised egg and a fertilised egg is a human being, because it contains within itself all that is necessary for a child to develop. Therefore it could be considered as murder.

Should the morning-after pill be banned?
PROS
Whether intentionally or not, people do sometimes have unprotected sex without wanting to get pregnant. When this happens, emergency contraception allows women to ensure that they are not pregnant, without the stress and increased health risk caused by waiting until a pregnancy can be confirmed and then, if desired, having an abortion.
There are good reasons for making the morning-after pill a non-prescription drug. It can take time to get a prescription from a doctor, and in speed is very important in an emergency. Some patients may be embarrassed to tell their doctor about what they need, and so will not go to get a prescription.

A debate on sport
Pros
1.- Sport is a great way to stay fit and healthy. This is very important today as few people have jobs with physical labour and most of us travel everywhere by car. As a result many people are overweight and suffer poor health.
2. -Sport has lots of social benefits. Sports programmes can give people a positive purpose and something to do. Societies which practise sport have lower levels of crime.

A debate on sport
Cons
1.- On the other hand, sport can actually be dangerous. Millions of people are hurt playing sport each year, some of them very seriously.
2.-Sport does teach children lessons, but not always good ones. Many children are not naturally talented and only come across failure and embarrassment on the sports field.
