Pro-life and pro-choice - Prolife in that, abortion is murder. Medical necessitated abortions are hard to speak on, but are the only exception. Doesn't matter what stage the baby is at - brain waves develop around four weeks, heart beat at six; regardless, the point of conceiving is to bring a HUMAN being into the world - the concept of conceiving more than suffices to prove the point that abortion is murder. I can't speak on rape either but in my opinion, dealing with the fact that an individual was raped and suffering the trauma of that alone is tough enough, let alone being responsible for the death of an innocent human-being on top of it. There are other options to be considered in that circumstance. Rapist should be rightful convicted and then sued to the fullest extent to be held fully financially responsible for the care of the mother (through pregnancy) and the baby both inside and outside of the womb. Pro-choice in that, if you don't want that vaccine, etc - don't get it. It's only your body, your choice when that choice doesn't affect another individual.
College is a scam (mostly) - I'm living proof that college is a scam. I went to college for business and obtained an associates degree. When I reflect back, in retrospect, there is nothing I learned in college that I couldn't simply learn from Google. I do think college is necessary for careers that can make a significant impact on people's lives such as becoming a doctor, lawyer, engineer, fiscal careers, etc where immense competency is imperative. I made three times the amount that I would fresh out of college just having a high school diploma in one of my jobs because experience trumped education. More jobs are leaning more and more toward experience over education for this reason. Just because you go to college; one, doesn't mean you're smart; two, doesn't mean you have the ability to apply those concepts learned in college in the real world and turn them into effective skills.

Human rights (Disclaimer: If you're asking how I could be for human rights, yet be a pro-lifer in the sense that it could be argued that I don't support the "my body, my choice" movement as it pertains to abortion, please refer to Charlie Kirk's debate where he asks, "What species is a fetus?" It's human. Oh, so a fetus isn't entitled to human rights? You're entitled to human rights so long as it only applies to you and doesn't affect another human being in the process. Don't want a kid? Either choose abstinence or protect yourself. Now, in saying all of this, I do understand medical reasoning if it's necessary or in cases of rape but abortion should not be used solely as a form of birth control due to being irresponsible. You can support a subject and not agree with everything that subject consists of. Just like I'm Republican and don't always agree with the way they behave. It's called, weighing the pros over the cons.
Anti-racist - It's not white, black, etc. It's the human race. It's not the race that is good or bad; it's the individual's character that is in question, their actions. Does crime happen statistically and predominately in certain races more so than others, sure. However, just because a white person does something bad, does make all white people bad and same goes for people of color. We need to start seeing each other as the human race and unify. Educating yourself prevents ignorance.
All lives matter supporter and in that, black lives are included in that. I can understand to only a level that my culture allows when black culture quotes, "all lives can't matter until black lives matter". Obviously, this is not something I have personally experienced nor struggled with, but in my eyes, I just want all this segregation and racism to end because we shouldn't be judging others based on their race. We should all look at each other as the human race and base what's right or wrong on the individual's behavior, regardless of race. Having had some deep conversation with people of black culture, I have come to learn why they feel this way and it's based off their experience.
Anti mandatory vaccines - please refer to human rights. The government has brain-washed people into believing that if you don't want to do it for yourself, do it to protect other people. They use guilt to convince you to succumb to control. In reality, it's your job to protect your own self. You can only be accountable for yourself. This is not selfish but yet, we are groomed to believe that it is. I should inject myself with something that I don't want injected in me, that may or may not potentially harm me in order to protect another is insane, immoral and illogic.

Insurance companies need an overhauling - there needs to be a thorough review of insurance companies policies due to harmful practices that are detrimental to the well-being of countless individuals who struggle with medical conditions that the insurance companies overlook. Generalizing is problematic and there should be stipulations and exceptions that allow for more pre-authorization. Let me provide you with a personal example: I struggle with weight loss greatly. I have a medical condition called gastroparesis where a certain portion of my stomach is paralyzed, therefore, makes it more difficult for me to break down nutrients and in that, makes it more difficult for me to burn calories. In result, I have suffered sustained blood pressure issues, fatty liver that has the potential to turn into sclerosis. Not to mention, all of the other diseases I'm prone to due to being obese. It is the medical opinion of four doctors that I am a more than qualified candidate for gastric-bypass, but insurance won't cover it due to chalking it up as, "cosmetic surgery". Insurance also will not cover weight loss injections for the same reasoning, unless of course, I was diabetic in which I am not. So, I'm left to try on my own through diet and exercise which I continue to prove that it's nearly impossible for me to achieve significant weight loss enough to not be at imminent risk for detrimental health issues.
Economy needs an overhauling as well - There is absolutely no reason that individual's should not be able to live off of a 40 hour work week. Money is not being properly allocated and that's a fact. No one should have to live to work, but should be working to live. It's crazy to me that so many people need to work two and three jobs to survive, let alone live. It has caused a global obsession with trying to get as many hours of work in as one can get in a pay period. This is by far unhealthy both mentally and physically. It's immoral. Yes, let me kill myself working myself to death for 65+ years to maybe (keyword: maybe) enjoy 15-20 years of my life and no one is guaranteed to even live that long, especially when they are killing themselves working that much. Lets face it - no one lives until a hundred years old anymore. Most people won't be able to retire due to the current state of the economy and that's a crying shame. I, myself, try to strive for balance because I believe in living while you're alive and having your health.
