Bill: PUR II Healthcare Agenda Amendment I: Abortion
Details
Submitted by[?]: The Royal Union
Status[?]: passed
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: November 2799
Description[?]:
| Adressing the MO's argument that "Free contraceptives negate the necessity for abortions." The MO fails to take into account that accidents do happen. No contraception is 100% effective. And in the event of an unplanned, unwanted pregnancy, a woman's only recourse is to either A) Endure a "medical emergency" for 9 months or B) Create her own medical emergency to terminate the pregnancy. These are unhealthy options that a woman should never have to be torn between. Allowing abortions up to and no later than the 2nd trimester removes the risk of unsafe, 'back alley' or make-shift abortion clinics springing up in Kanjor's cities, towns, and homes. |
