Message | While we commend the Freedom party for the measure, we may not support the inclusion of Article 1 and 4. Though the Party is against abortion, we decided to support the option of government only funding Abortions for medical emergencies, in consideration for those who have low income or no way to support themselves. For Article 4, we believe it necessary for the nat'l government to determine health and safety laws. |

Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
