| Message | Yes, article 3 is a good one. We cannot support the other two because we see no need to nationalize adoption. Let's leave the government out of it and let churches and other nonprofits handle adoption. As for the right to assemble, it is important to have a right to assemble but when it poses a risk to public safety then there should be restrictions. Of course people should all have the right to protest but it should be allowed in designated areas rather than anywhere. This way any potential riot situation would be well controlled. |
