If I choose abortion, do I spontaneously combust?
There are way too many people in the world,so I’d allow free abortion on demand to any female of any age, no questions asked. Morning after pills would also be free and available from vending machines everywhere.
The only contraindication would be if the baby was viable after delivery, so there would be a time limit.
LGBT issues are slowly getting fixed. Abortion seems to be going in the right direction as well.
Also, guns seem to cause the most direct suffering.
However, if I could skip out and take another option, I’d like to remove the influence of religion on government. Not outlawing religion, just removing the preferential treatment it’s gotten pretty much everywhere, ever.
Only in the USA. Worldwide it’s a far distant third behind the other two.
because we already have decent gun laws and abortion isn’t really an issue as it’s legal and available, I’d go with LGTB even though it’s not a big focus point personally.
If you were going international, world wide law, I’d go womens rights over any of them. Right to education, right to work, right to marry who they want…basically right to be equal. Taken somewhat for granted in the first world but in well over half the world they’re less than second class citizens.
LGTB is the one that has the most obvious solution to me, which is that people who identify as LGTB should have the same damned rights as any other human being. I don’t feel well enough informed to solve the other two.
I broke it down by how many it would concern:
GLBT rights=about 3-10% of the population (including myself)
Abortion rights=(arguably)<50% of the population
Gun rights=almost all of the population
So I chose gun rights. I currently pragmatically vote for those to have the right to bear arms; it’s that “libertarian” side of me. But if it were solely up to me, I’d take away the guns.
Abortion.
There are still too many US States and Nations where a bunch of grumpy old men are deciding what to do with a woman’s body.
Her body, her choice. Done deal.
I chose abortion, and my diktat is that it’s her body and she gets to choose how it is used.
Pretty much ditto for me (even though I’m gay).
While, I think like most people, I have ethical problems with abortion and view a first trimester fetus as more than a clump of cells and less than a newborn baby, I think forcing any woman to gestate an unwanted child is a relic of barbarism when there’s a safe alternative. I’d make abortions freely available until there are brain waves and in cases of emergency after that.
I voted LGBT since as a gay man abortion doesn’t affect me and I’d feel selfish imposing my view on it. I also don’t think gun control is that big of an issue overall.
“Gun Control”
ALL Nannystate restrictions eliminated, repeal GC '68, the only restrictions are violent felons and violent mentally ill are still banned
All GC restrictions eliminated, the Second Amendment is the only remaining GC law
All antigun politicians, cuomo, Feinstein, daly, richie, and other elitist scumbags are removed from office, stripped of government benefits and banned from politics permanently
Any criminal acts involving a firearm automatically get the perp. the maximum penalty, if the firearm is used to offensively commit murder, the sentence is death, if the firearm is used defensively, no charges will be brought, and the defender will be immune to lawsuits
Don’t want to spend life in prison/be executed? Then don’t commit crimes, simple as that
Abortion rights.
It is irrecovably decided that no one can be forced to remain pregnant through any interference in the availability of medical procedures or pharmaceuticals or other aids to controlling reproduction. A person’s legitimate interest in her own survival and safety, and hence the range of options and behaviors permitted to her in protecting and ensuring same, shall be held to extend to managing her pregnancy whether to term or to termination.
No institution receiving taxpayer-based funding of any sort, including those receiving funding from organizations that themselves draw economic support from taxpayer funding, may provide general-practice surgical/medical services or gynecological or obstetrical services without including options for prevention and termination of pregnancy. Institutions receiving such funding are not prohibited from public education and research and other efforts designed to discourage irresponsible / unintended pregnancy, to encourage choosing the option of carrying pregnancy to term, etc, as long as such efforts are targeted generally as opposed to being selectively targeted at people seeking termination or pregnancy-prevention services.
