Bill: National Health Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: National Bolshevik 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: September 2529
Description[?]:
| We can provide universal health care to the people of Ikradon, to ensure a healthy and happy population. Free contraceptives will be available to compensate for a shorter time for legal abortions, but if a woman is so sure that they want to kill their child, I believe that three months is enough. The previous law would allow a woman to have an abortion the day before the birth is expected, this definitely means that the child is very developed and clearly deserves the right to live. |
