Bill: Welfare-/Health-Reform
Details
Submitted by[?]: Liberaldemokratische Partei
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: January 3207
Description[?]:
| Members of the Bundestag, we can no longer afford the luxury retirement age of 60 years. As the population isn't growing enough, companies will have difficulties to find workers. Therefore, we must adjust the retirement age to international standards. Considering the problem of population growth, it is counterproductive to promote and fund abortions, so we demand a more restrictive stance on this issue. - Dr. Vanessa Tallerand, LDP Spokeswoman for Health and Social Services |

| Message | The SF can do nothing but agree with the LDP on this bill. We feel that abortion should be a women's right but not after the first trimester. Also abortions are a private matter and therefore should be paid for privately. As the LDP already said, a raise of the retirement age is neccesary to maintain a sufficient amount of workers within Dundorf. And ofourse we agree on the fact that vaccinations are not to be compulsory. the government should encourage parents to vaccinate their children but the parents should have the final say in this matter, |
