Bill: A Free and Healthy Barmenia Act of 3341
Details
Submitted by[?]: Eredian Party
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: July 3342
Description[?]:
The government has a duty to ensure that all Barmenians are guaranteed their basic civil liberties. By removing itself from civil unions/marriages, we've seen a rise in the number of same sex couples denied the right to share in the same rights awarded to their straight counterparts. The Eredian Party fully believes that the government has no place regulating where inheritance goes and whose land is worthy of being seized for public works. Healthcare has been a priority of the Liberal sect of the Eredian Party for decades. This proposal will allow for more information to be provided on all food products and give parents a personal choice in deciding whether or not to vaccinate their children. |

Date | 01:23:51, July 30, 2012 CET | From | Sháhazi Péashro | To | Debating the A Free and Healthy Barmenia Act of 3341 |
Message | We cannot condone the reintroduction of same-sex marriage or the killing of unborn baibies who could live outside their mothers womb. We support articles 1 and 6. If the LAoC would vote no to this, we could propose article 1 again. We are against the inheritance tax since it denies the importance of families. |

Random quote: "Ask the experimenters why they experiment on animals, and the answer is: "Because the animals are like us." Ask the experimenters why it is morally okay to experiment on animals, and the answer is: "Because the animals are not like us." Animal experimentation rests on a logical contradiction." - Charles R.
