Bill: Contraceptive Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Progressive Labor
Status[?]: passed
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: October 2437
Description[?]:
| We agree that abortion is a tragic choice for a woman to make. However we also believe that it is not the role of the government to tell her what she can and cannot do with her body. As a compromise on this divisive issue we offer the legalization of contraceptives in order to lower the number of unwanted pregnancies. |

| Message | The removal of the religious state is a fundamental principal behind the PNRF, theocracy is not a way to rule government. We will support this bill and any other bill that seperates the influence of religion on our government. |
