Details
Submitted by[?]: Kristen Socialdemokratisk Partiet
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: April 2652
Description[?]:
| This is the 24th bill in the Social Reform series. This bill will increase general moral while retaining equality in our nation. One question you may wonder about is the The government's policy concerning who can proceed with adoption. The policy that will be put in place after this bill will exclude polygamous and homosexual partnerships from adoption. Children need to grow up in a loving environment with a good mother and father, but when a child has two fathers or two mothers, they are often made fun of. (Trust me. We know people like this.) Homosexual couples often are unable to take care of a child well, and the test you must pass to adopt is not strict enough to the point that a homosexual couple that passes would be able to take good care of a child. We have to encourage using our bodies the way they were made, while still allowing people who use their bodies 'differently' to be entitled to equal rights. Thank you for hearing us out. This bill includes proposals to change: Displays of public affection and obscenity laws The government's policy concerning parental qualifications The right to kill animals The Government’s policy with respect to polygamy The government's policy concerning who can proceed with adoption; in case adoption is legal Thank you for your support. We need to work hard to build a nation that perseveres morally! |
