This is one of the queen stages of Volta a Portugal 2026. You can explore all the other stages by replacing the number on the link.

So the new Volta a Portugal 2026 route was released some days ago. What do you think about it?

This is the first year that Volta has international viewership with Eurosport and HBO max. Further more, Volta a Portugal 2026 has the premiere of UAE pro team. Also, the portuguese cycling confederation president, refered the desire to scale up Volta's category in UCI classification.

Do you think this could be the beggining of the internationalization of Volta a Portugal?

Do you think Volta has the potential to become the fourth Grand Tour? Or do you think it has the potential to be a highly respected race that could be used as a preparation to some Grand Tour.

It is important to refer that one of the main problems of Volta is its calendar, which the portuguese cycling confederation president is open to reconsiderate, even if the UCI calendar is already full.

Well now about abortion. I don't know if you have seen this video. But here's the link to it.

For my discussion you only need to watch from 43:00 to 49:15.

This guy was the only person on that video, at least on the part I've watched that gave an actual really coeherent argument. I think the pro-life supporter didn't respond to it aswell as it could've been answered and for all of that, it was one of the most interesting parts on the video for pro abortion supporters. But I saw a logical and moral problem on his premise. He says if I got it right, that a human fetus prior to 22 weeks has less rights than an after 22 weeks fetus. He affirms that this is due to the fact that the baby can experience subjective experience from that time line. The pro life supporter than asks if an unsconscious person is less worthy than a conscious one, to which he says no, arguing that the unconscious person still has the neural pathways necessary to sustain consciouness. Again the pro life supporter asked what about a newborn baby with a severe neural development. Does he has less rights than a well developed one? Which he responds no, because in that situation there aren't any conflicting rights, like in the abortion situation where the mother's bodily autonomy right is conflicting the fetus right to live. And now I saw a huge problem. Let's imagine this situation. An hospital has one bed left. Two people come to the hospital with similar symptoms and emergency levels and the condition is non related to the brain. One has a severe neural development, the other is considered "normal" on that aspect. They arrived at similar times but the doctors need to choose only one to save. In his reasoning we should save the "normal" one, because it has more intrinsical value than the other. But I think that is something not only unacceptable for today's moral code of society but also unacceptable for a doctor to choose that way because their ethical code stops then from doing so or they would be arrested. So now. What do we do? I would like to listen to your RESPECTFUL opinions and I would like to have a great conversation with you all. Thanks
