You did a great job, it's a shame the other person dropped the class, it would have been interesting to see what they had to say. I think sometimes it can be even more interesting as a classroom exercise if you assign sides randomly; that usually means people have to rely entirely on logic and not on emotion if the topic is not something they personally agree with.
The guy who presented the "the government should not fund Planned Parenthood" side of the argument gave a presentation that was downright offensive. D: Oh, yuck. Did he have any good arguments at all, or was it all the usual uninformed crap? Is there a reason he asked for your opinion? It's really cool you were patient enough to go through his argument with him. I hope some of it got through!
