Bill: For The CHILDREN Act!!!
Details
Submitted by[?]: Capitalist Working Families
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: September 2437
Description[?]:
In the Commonwealth of Rutania, statistics note fervently that 50% of marriages in divorce. Even more distressing is the fact that psychological studies have verified the detrimental impact that divorce has on children. Therefore, while we are not advocating an abolition of divorce as some "religious zealot" but rather that divorce can ONLY be granted in cases of marital affair or domestic violence. Don't vote for this bill for me, but for the CHILDREN!!! Thank you for your full support!!! |

| Message | This is offensive and horrible, it's people's own choice whether they want to be married or not. |

| Message | Yes, you are 100% correct that it is people's own choice whether or nor they wish to be married. However, it is NOT their choice to dissolve a marriage w/o grounded cause thus causing detriment to children. |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
