Here you can find the Euronion Government's official position on controversial topics and issues in alphabetical order.
Abortion
Though legal in most states of the Union, all of the Euronion States, excluding the three Southern States have made abortions passed two months after conception illegal except in circumstances where the mother's life is in severe danger. Abortion is legal for any reason before these two months, with the consent of the father. If the father cannot be located within 7 days, then the Woman may decide alone. If the father wishes to care for the child and the woman does not, the woman shall have the child through whichever means she wishes and it shall be the father's responsibility to pay for the resulting medical bills and to raise the child. If a father does not wish to take care of a child after the mother chooses to not have an abortion, he, likewise, shall not be held responsible or liable for the child or any financial obligations that may come with it. It is extremely frowned upon in Euronion society and many believe that it should be banned outright, though the Euronion Supreme Court has struck down these outright bans more than once.

Alcohol & Intoxicating Liquors
Legal under Amendment 17 of the Euronion Constitution. Alcohol is widely thought to be a cultural symbol because most Euronions drink wine at the dinner table. Very few prefer hard liquor such as Vodka or Everclear. Soft liquor such as beer and wine are legal for all persons over the age of 14 currently. Hard liquor, such as Vodka, Everclear, and some of the very strong Euronion wines, are legal for all persons over the age of 23. It is illegal, however, to drive while intoxicated or to sell or provide alcohol to any woman who is pregnant or under the legal age.
Anarchy & Anarchism
A political ideology that is held by very few and is frowned upon by many. It is a form of government that a majority of Euronions believe to be flawed and simply a output for teenagers to rebel.
Affirmative Action
Illegal by the Euronion Federal Government. Affirmative Action was passed thrice by three Southern States and was repealed thrice by the Euronion Supreme Court. It is deeply frowned upon by almost all Euronions, even by ethnic and religious minorities. It is viewed as giving an unfair advantage to a minority of the population and disadvantaging the majority simply because of the color of their skin.
Atheism
Classified as a Religion by the Euronion Federal Government, Atheism is frowned upon by many of the Euronion population, there are currently 0 atheists in Euronion. Renowned for its Civil and Political Liberties and booming economy, several atheists have tried to move to Euronion but left quite fast due to frustration that everyone except themselves are religious. It is legal despite attempts by several religious extremist factions to outlaw it.
Age of Consent
The age of consent varies from state to state though the Age of Consent is between 18-21.
Artificial Life
The Euronion Government is a very concerned about Artificial Life. It has no official policy on it yet because there are many in the Euronion Government who believe science should not be restricted unless it has shown that it cannot control itself. Others, however, believe that science must be regulated before artificial life is created to prevent said artificial life from becoming a threat before it has a chance to.
Cannibalism
Illegal even for religious purposes. Cannibalism is frowned upon and punishable by Federal Imprisonment.
Child Pornography
Illegal in all states and deeply frowned upon. It envokes disgust in every Euronion's heart and mind. It is viewed largely as a victimization of children and the abuse of the soul. It is considered mentally damaging to the child and viewer. It has been outlawed since the founding of Euronion. However, in the Supreme Court Case of The Euronion Child Protection Agency vs. Mr. and Mrs. Bonett (Bon-yaih), the Supreme Court in a 9-0 ruling ruled in favor of the Bonetts, saying that Parents in possession of family photos such as children in the bath tub where the child happens to be nude, shall not be considered child pornography unless the photos in question are made for pornographic use.
In another Supreme Court Case of The Euronion Child Protection Agency vs. Mr. Marvishk, in a 6-3 ruling ruled in favor of Mr. Marvishk, saying that textual references that refer to Children being nude or textual stories involving children that may be nude is legal under the first amendment. In the words of the Majority opinion paper
"Even though we find absolute disgust in the practice and in reading such texts, the first amendment is very clear that Mr. Marvishk has the right to publish and write his texts as he sees fit. We believe it would send the wrong message to outlaw certain texts because we did not agree with its content for that would be crossing a very thin line between protecting our children and turning our society into an autocracy. Since no children were jeapordized in the creation of these texts, as they were all fiction, we see no cause to convict on Child Endangerment or with violating the Euronion Child Protection Act."
Communism
Well known and indicated by the Euronion Constitution, The Euronion Pledge, and Euronion History, Euronions see Communism as a plague as do all Euronions excluding three southern states. It is legal in Euronion but heavily heavily frowned upon. A report released by the Euronion Office of Foreign Affairs states this
"Communism is a plague. It leads the abuse and exploitation of its people on the pretense of equality. It blossoms in uncertainty and chaos. It is an ideology born of desperation and abuse. It must be fought whenever and wherever possible on every front possible"
Thus has been the position officially adopted by the Euronion Government.
Conservatism
An ideology held by a good majority of Euronions. Viewed as valid and legal, Conservatism is respected.
Copyright Law
Something the Euronion Government does not like to take a position on. The view of the majority of Euronions seems to be this
"We live in a capitalist society. If a company or manufacturer has not insured that their product cannot be stolen, if they cannot secure their product enough that someone can take it and use it, then in the spirit of the free market, it's there own fault and not the business of crony capitalism to interfere."
Drugs
Excluding medication used and approved for medical purposes, all drugs used as stimulants such as Opium (when not used in medical drugs) Heroin, Crack, Cocaine, Marijuana, LSD, Ecstasy, Salvia, PCP, ect. (basically all recreational drugs) are banned and illegal under Euronion Federal Law. Though Steroids have not been banned as they have a valid medical purpose, they are banned in all competitive sporting events.
LGBTQ Rights
Euronion is a deeply religious society though the Euronion Federal government is secular. The Position of the Euronion government on LGBTQ Rights is simple. LGBTQ people are entitled to all rights equal to that guaranteed to Euronion citizens by the Euronion constitution. Since Marriage is defined in Euronion as a union between one man and one woman, the Euronion government has allowed Civil Unions. Legislation was being pushed to allow LGBTQ couples to adopt children when Doctor Joan Don Vohnder isolated the phenotype for Homosexuality. Ever since, doctors have been able to analyze human embryos and change the genes to make the embryo develop differently. Homosexuality, Transexuality, Bisexuality, ect. are now extinct on the Euronion continent. All future and pending legislation regarding this issue were rendered irrelevant. Euronion does not view homosexuality as a bad thing, though after all the ridicule and hatred homosexuals have endured in the past, and the undoubted difficulty homosexuals face in life, including the abnormally high suicide rates, it was judged that unless the parent says otherwise, the genetic make-up should be changed to make the child heterosexual.
Pornography (General)
Legal in all states though one must be 18-21 (depending on the age of consent in the area of the person in question) to watch, participate in, or make a production of any kind of this nature. It is not often discussed in Euronion and has kept largely out of policy discussion excluding several failed attempts by the Prohibitionist Party to outlaw it.
