CMV: A Kobayashi Maru gambit at a political debate, with the right candidate, would be successful.

Let me explain.
For those unfamiliar, the Kobayashi Maru is a test of character in the Star Trek universe. The "commanding officer" is put into a "no win" situation to see how they will respond. That's the basics of it.
And I think it would take a very specific type of candidate, of either major political party, for this to be successful. Generally, I believe it would take an "outsider" candidate.
The general mechanics would work like this (the verbiage wouldn't be exactly like this, but you get the general idea).
During opening statements, this candidate (let's call them Candidate Real), as part of their opening statement, would simply assert that they are the only one on stage not performing. Everyone else (the other candidates and moderators), including the post-debate analysts, is performing.
That's the trap. Candidate Real has now excluded himself from the "game" being played on the stage. And as we know from WarGames, sometimes the only winning move is not to play.
And at that point, Candidate Real doesn't even have to *win* the debate. He merely has to survive it.
His "everybody's performing but me" statement does a few things:
1. It's pretty much unfalsifiable.
2. It puts t

CMV: Abortion should be limited but still allowed

My opinion on abortion is pretty complex. As a woman myself, I definitely agree that women should have control over their bodies. But also, I am convicted because some people just "don't want to have a kid", so they abort it. It basically takes a child off of the planet because you didn't want to go through 9 months and put it up for adoption. I find it similar to opioids or narcotics: Sure, it's your choice, but, it should be limited to none because it isn't healthy for you/the world/people around you (not saying that people around a person who has had abortion should say anything to them about it).
I also think it should most definitely be allowed in some cases. For example, a 12 year-old who is raped. That child should not have a baby if they don't want to. It's okay to have the baby if you want, and I respect the opinion of those who have, but it shouldn't be forced.
I guess my opinion is pretty in the middle. Please no "spirited" debating in the comments but I am very open to conversation about it.
EDIT: please do not treat me like i am saying there should be a full ban. I believe in body autonomy. Also I am not "anti-abortion" but I am trying to build a valid opinion. I am no
