    REBUTTAL SPEECH

    To our esteemed judges, dear moderator, respected guests, to my fellow


    debaters, and to our audience, good morning.
    As we embark on this debate journey today, I am filled with pride and
    determination to champion the cause encapsulated in House Bill 7758, the
    Menstrual Leave Act. Before delving into the heart of our arguments, let me first
    address the weak of the opposition's case. Their reasons they have presented
    failed to discredit our strong arguments.
    (state their arguments, expose the weakness and refute each)
    Now, to further expose the unsubstantial and weak arguments of the negative
    side. Let me point out the fallacies committed by their speakers :

    Their necessity speaker contends that menstrual leave is redundant due to


    the existence of sick leave. However, this overlooks the unique challenges
    menstruators face and the necessity for tailored support. Meanwhile, their
    beneficiality speaker casts doubt on the benefits of menstrual leave without
    substantial evidence, failing to recognize its potential to enhance productivity and
    prioritize women's health. Finally, their practicability speaker raises concerns
    about negative impacts on businesses, yet fails to acknowledge the pragmatic
    solutions we propose.
    Now, let me illuminate our strongest points :
    Firstly, menstrual leave is a necessary intervention to address the unique
    health needs of menstruating individuals. By granting this leave, we acknowledge
    the importance of rest and self-care during menstruation, ultimately enhancing
    productivity and well-being.
    Secondly, the benefits of menstrual leave extend beyond individual health
    to economic prosperity. Healthy employees are more productive, and by
    supporting menstruators' health needs, we foster workplace equity and
    compliance with legal standards.
    Lastly, enacting the Menstrual Leave Act is not only practical but also
    imperative. It provides a legal framework for menstrual leave policies, ensuring
    consistency and fairness in the workplace. The two-day leave with full pay
    outlined in House Bill 7758 offers the necessary time for rest and recovery,
    promoting employee welfare and productivity.
    As Susan B. Anthony, a woman’s pioneer activist once proclaimed, "there
    shall never be another season of silence until women have the same rights as men
    have on this green earth." Today, we have the opportunity to heed her call and
    take a decisive step towards gender equality by enacting the Menstrual Leave Act.
    To DENY this legislation is to turn a blind eye to the struggles of menstruating
    individuals and perpetuate social injustice.
    Ladies and gentlemen, the time for action is now. Let us stand on the right
    side of history and pass House Bill 7758 into law, ensuring that the voices of
    women are heard and their rights upheld. Thank you.
