Bill: For the Health of Our Nation
Details
Submitted by[?]: Progressive Marxist Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: July 2089
Description[?]:
| I. All human societies have a great amount of promiscuity, despite their many facades. We must target this health risk and lower the amount of accidental pregnancies and lower the rate at which STD's are spread. II. Euthanasia is a step down the wrong path. we should focus our sights upon healing, not simply ending the diseased's life right there. There are also potential abuses involving inheritance, vegetative states etc... III. As I wish to hinder the spread of STDs, I also wish to hinder the spread of food-related diseases. The illogical state of affairs here is laughable at best. How do you enforce shelf lives when anyone may open a food stall with unregulated food products? IV.Noting that many doctors and clinics deny service to those on poor aid, I wish to fix this travesty.Noting also that many who may not be able to afford basic healthcare but still do not fall into the category of poor aid, I wish to help these disenfranchised people. Basic healthcare will be provided for all, with the more extravagant and prestigious clinics devoted to specialties and cosmetics. V.Noting that obesity is on the rise in all First World Nations and also noting that private sports clubs fail to attract children or their parents, either for prices or service value, propose the creation of a national fitness system to attract those aforementioned people. Private systems will still exist, providing competition in this system. The government club will institute afee to join and poor aid will be provided to those who are too poor to afford the membership. |

| Date | 19:43:24, August 02, 2005 CET | From | National Syndicalist Junta of Telamon | To | Debating the For the Health of Our Nation |
| Message | Euthanasia has a valid place in the future National-Syndicalist society and we do not desire to have it outlawed here. Further we do not believe in such a thing as an 'accidental pregnancy', every new born child is a potential worker and a gift to the nation. |
| Date | 03:49:47, August 03, 2005 CET | From | Progressive Marxist Party | To | Debating the For the Health of Our Nation |
| Message | So a sexually experimental teen gets pregnant. this is far too young an age for her to bear child with huge chances of urinary and vaginal damage. You would have her be crippled, mentally and physically, than prevent the birth? What about cases of rape? Of mismatched paternity? |
| Date | 19:42:01, August 03, 2005 CET | From | National Syndicalist Junta of Telamon | To | Debating the For the Health of Our Nation |
| Message | Abortion, when the woman's life is not threatened, should always be illegal. As to rape, should a child in the womb be punished for the crime of another? Indeed contraception the next day should solve the problem before the foetus reaches the stage where it becomes a viable life, useful to the state, the same with inherited deformities. The question of mismatched paternity is irrelevant to the production of viable workers unless in someway it contributes negatively to their long term health. |
| Date | 17:09:34, August 09, 2005 CET | From | Telamon National Party | To | Debating the For the Health of Our Nation |
| Message | I agree with the NSJT, but we should not look at human life as 'workers' It is wrong to call people 'workers' and not humans. |
