Bill: National Female Rights Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Revolucia Partio de Koburo
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: August 3320
Description[?]:
| "It is beyond ridiculous that we can be in a situation where some Kobura females have more rights than others. We therefore propose to firstly move the issue of abortion to the national level where it belongs. We secondly propose that abortions should be allowed to be carried out over the entire course of the pregnancy, as this would cover for emergencies late in gestation and other issues. Thirdly we propose that funding for abortion be provided on a universal basis. This would allow poorer females to carry out abortions without fear of stigma." - Nasser Samara, Shadow Health and Social Services Minister |
