Sanctuary

I've got deadlines and other events bombarding me at the minute (and I'm completely unprepared), so I will be taking a hiatus for a month or so. I doubt I'll return until after the 28th of April (if at all), so if you want to take control of Vates just send me a pm, preferably on fb, and I'll give my two cents go for it.

Happy RP-ing everyone :)

Abortion Discussion

But pro-lifers I feel need to learn what the definition of pro-choice is (at least, to me): pregnant women should have the choice on whether or not they want an abortion, no matter the circumstance.

I think that really is the definitive point. Not all Pro-Lifers want absolutely no abortion, some just want a little restriction (ie. Stopping an abortion simply because a couple forgot to wear a condom and doesn't want a baby yet). There are a lot of grey areas around the topic in general, but complete choice is something that you either agree with or you don't. In an ideal world, everyone would have complete choice but no-one would choose to have an abortion (circumstances permitting). Personally, as I said before I simply believe there are much better alternatives. The question I would like to ask someone considering abortion (although I never would because of how inappropriate it would be) is: Do you want an abortion because you don't want the baby to live or because you don't want to go through the pain? I know its a very aggressive and upsetting question, but I think it is interesting.

Fair enough.The way I see it, an abortion is appropriate if it's a medical/life danger to the mother.But to argue a child should be aborted because whatever physical and mental illness they have can make life harder for them makes as much sense as the "Should abort them cause they may not be adopted" argument. It's also almost impossible to predict before birth if a child will be suffer mass mental damage like you ended off describing.Also, arguing mother mental damage simply opens the door for all abortion claims to be approved cause of the mental damage of having said abortion denied to the mother, therefore body violation.I really hate the gray nature of this topic?Pro-Choice and it means you're allowing children's lives to end before they even have a chance at life.Pro-Life and it means mothers are losing some of their bodily rights.

The main point of mine really was the life/death part. The other issues to me aren't strong reasons, and in many cases (like the mental example) I only meant it in cases where there are a combination of factors. And I agree, I don't think in many cases you can predict some problems before birth (especially within the early stages where abortions are typically conducted); that's why I used the terms 'moderate chance' and 'severity'. But like I said in the earlier post, I'm an advocate of welfare and social schemes to help parents and children.

I strongly considered Saren, but then I realized he only makesa handful of appearances in the game and you fight him twice. I honestly thought the Illusive Man was a far more captivating antagonist.

But despite the few appearances you do spend the entirety of the game chasing after him and trying to stop him, seeing the results of his actions along the way. You don't need to see much of a villain for them to be captivating. The more I think about it, the more I realise that in many games you don't see much of the main bad guys/bosses.

Mostly agreeing with this point here.But I feel the need to have clarified, what kind of mental and physical health issues are you referring to?Cause I'd have to argue against that depending on what you mean.

Without giving another massive answer, and without listing tonnes of conditions:
Physical issues would obviously include ones where there is a moderate chance that the mother and/or child might die. I would include this to the point where there is also severe handicapping (e.g. one or both becoming handicapped). Something that's treatable or manageable (e.g. a loss of an arm, etc.) should not constitute an abortion.

Psychological issues would include where due to genetics (etc.) there is a moderate chance of the child developing a severe issue. I do not know much about this though, so my opinion is limited - if what I just said is bullshit then by all means point it out. Moreover, where there is a chance due to the circumstances surrounding the birth and possible upbringing (e.g. like in the Fritzle case) that the child or mother may suffer further psychological trauma; if from a young age you found out that your father was your rapist grandfather, you might become pretty fucked up.

By mental issues I mean the more severe ones, such as (in the most extreme case, and please forgive my wording,) vegetation. However things like autism I do not believe should constitute abortion in the majority of cases.

In no particular order:

Saren Arterius (Mass Effect)
Zachary Comstock (Bioshock)
Magneto (X-Men)
Ra's Al-Ghul (DC Comics)
Haytham Kenway (Assassins Creed)

All of these are up on my list because they are villains whom act for what they believe to be the greater good (Comstock not so much, but I just love the twist).
