Bill: Value of Life Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Genuine Progress Alliance
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: July 2650
Description[?]:
| This act aims to legally allow abortion only when the pregnancy poses a risk to the mother's life. Other types of abortion will be considered illegal. We strongly believe that inside a mother's womb is a child that has life. He/She can sense what is going on even though he/she is only in the womb. We should not tolerate abortions done simply to make another person's life more comfortable, since we are dealing with two different lives here: the mother and the child. |
