Bill: Reproductive Rights Act of 2510
Details
Submitted by[?]: Socialist Party of Aldegar
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: October 2610
Description[?]:
| The right to an abortion is the right for a woman to control her body. Her rights include the right to have her body to herself and to restrict the use of her body by anything including a fetus. We support the right for the woman as it is decision between herself, the doctor, and God. Not the state. As we give more rights to the woman we will also discourage abortions by the campaigning of using contraceptives. This will lower the abortion rate and will with this government's support will lower the rate of abortions and unwanted pregnancies and abortion will hopefully become a dead practice. |

| Message | People should buy their own contraceptives. The state is not their parent to provide them with whatever they need. We shouldn't burden other tax payers to pay for the Promiscuous activities of others. |
| Date | 03:31:39, July 23, 2008 CET | From | Socialist Party of Aldegar | To | Debating the Reproductive Rights Act of 2510 |
| Message | To reduce abortions? To reduce the spread of STD's? To have more healthier people? You capitalists are all the same you rather stand back and let big probelms solve themselves instead of the state spearheading these efforts to create a better nation. All for the sake of more money to the super rich. |

| Message | Abortion is indeed a vital human rights, and it is the obligation of the state to ensure such rights is given to every women who chooses, on her own will, to do so. Nevertheless, for the state to provide free contraceptives is an extremely unnecessary pressure on the national budget and a gross violation to the notion of individual responsibility in matters concerning the individual, not the society. |

| Message | Reproductive Rights Act of 2510 Shows these measures are backwards. |

| Message | While it is a noble idea to help the poor, the execution is poorly decided. People do not value things given to them freely. They only value what they earn. Free Contraceptives will be used at an extremely high rate. Those less fortunate who might require these contraceptives might find it difficult to aquire them if anybody can pick them up in public toilets. Also, why should it be the state's concern about STD's? A much cheaper alternative would be to encourage monogamous relationships, which have an effectiveness rate of 100% against STD's. And if people cannot afford to buy contraceptives on their own then they probably should have the self-restraint to understand they cannot afford to have sex in the first place. Finally you misunderstand capitalism. Capitalism is state serving the interest of the ultra-wealthy or the super rich. Only a government that has control over the economy can achieve such a goal. Capitalism is the belief a man should be able to keep the money he makes and not have a bueacrat take it away and give it to help the lowest denominator of society. It is easy to be generous with other people's money, isn't it? |

| Message | While under a PAP government monogamous relationships would be encouraged, encouraged even more over protection. However some choose not to follow that life and we must respect their own individual choice. Like you know freedom? And besides a closer attention to the matter will be paid by the free distribution. It won't simply fall into anarchy as capitalism hopes that everything the government does hopes it will do. And how do you demean people? Because someone is poor then that should be a license for more restraint? And what the rich can be as loose as they please? Come on seriously... It seems the Capitalists would like everyone to have a certain income threshold before they can engage in sexual relations. Serving the interests o the super rich and wealthy? We are not socialists if you may, we don't favor a redistribution of money to all people below them. We however do support progressive taxes as to keep an income gap from festering and wreaking havoc on our nation. So we do support those making more money to reape the benefits of risk and investment. However there are natural divides any society that form as a result of no government intervention and rule by the rich. The rich would use special interests groups as they would to take control of the nation and manipulate the people. They have the cash to do it. And if the entire world is as menacing as you claim with everyone taking all the condoms from public restrooms, I am sure they wouldn't mind doing it. As well the finalization of having low taxes on the super rich has it's own disparities. We are a species that must live communally to survive and grow. We don't support the facade religion and kings use to justify ruling without rights and support from everyone to the rest of the society. We however are different we support the general right of risk and reward. However also support the right to not live in poverty and have an equal opportunity at life. |

| Random fact: In cases where players introduce RP laws to a nation and then leave, Moderation reserves the discretion to declare the RP laws void if they appear to have fallen into disuse. In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
