《Politics Today》Abortion
Advertisement
My stance on abortion isn't really that special. Sure it's a bit right of center but it isn't extreme. I am against in almost all cases but some I can understand.
If it's because you're "not ready to be a parent", I'm against. If it's for your career, I'm against. If it's because the condom broke, I'm against. If it's because you "can't take care of it" or "don't have enough money", I'm against. If it's because you're single, I'm against. If it's because you're in college, I'm against. If it's because the mother will die, I'll let it slide. Because if both are going to die, might as well kill one to save the other. But if it's because "the baby wasn't viable", I'm against. Simply because viability isn't a consistent stat (a non-viable baby in the hills of Colorado can be viable in New-York City.)
My stance comes from the fact that a baby (or a foetus, embryo, zygote or whatever you want to call it) is a human life or at least potential life. Therefore giving it intrinsic moral value. If let to its natural processes, it will become a living breathing human child. By having an abortion, you are killing a human being.
If your reason for an abortion is that you aren't ready or you can't or something like that, there are solutions for that; there are financial help programs, social services, adoption. If it's to preserve your career, you should've been more careful, don't be selfish. If it's because the condom broke, there's a simple prevention technique called "not screwing". But, and I've said it before, if the mother is going to die, better one dead than two.
I don't think that my view is that extreme. I don't want abortion to be available at a moment's notice, but to be extremely rare and in absolute last resort.
P.S. I've only scratched the surface of the subject so if you have arguments against me, want to add to what I said, have questions or want to debate, do it in the comments.

Divine Progress
Progress is a dubious god. After failing him, three people are banished from modern times and sent to another world. Seemingly out of place, Christoph is snatched from his own time and plunged into a world of violence and magic with no deity to lend him support. Instead, Progress has seen fit to curse him with an eternal hunger for magical energy. Branded as a demon, he must fight for survival while battling the servants of the god who sent him there, struggling against the 'gift' that Progress bestowed upon him and the past he sought to abandon. Can he make his way across the lands and gather enough strength to survive without the blessings of the Divine? Or will the gods bend him to their will, breaking him if he seeks to resist? This is not a short story, and the plot will take many twists and turns before Christoph's journey comes to a close. After all, it is not the destination, but the Progress that matters in the end. Like many other stories on RoyalRoad, this is my first piece. Feedback is more than welcome, so please leave a reply if you have a comment or question.
