Description[?]:
| It is The Society's notion that people should be able to choose the course of their life as they see fit. The community should regulate what it feels is proper.

| Message | Since we hit an election and this bill was tabled, we were curious of what people found so revolting within this bill. Is it because it allows the individual and community more control over itself? Or is it that it limits government oversight? Please educate us. |
