Bill: Return of Virtue Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Justice, Development and Freedom
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: January 3517
Description[?]:
| This bill is designed with three purposes: 1. We must properly control our media to aid parents in guarding their children from potentially corrosive influences. 2. Prostitution is immoral, anti-women and is connected with organised crime and people trafficking. It should be banned. 3. Parents should be able to opt out of sex education classes for their children if they wish. It is despicably authoritarian to enforce such classes upon parents against their will. |

| Message | We reject your apparent assumption that the only way for women in this nation to find work is through prostituting themselves! |
| Date | 01:56:55, July 17, 2013 CET | From | The Al'Badaran Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Return of Virtue Bill |
| Message | This we agree, but what will you do to compensate those women thrown out of there profession on your moralist whim? |

| Message | They won't need compensating. They'll have been protected from an industry based upon organised crime, people trafficking and the sale of virtue. |
| Date | 02:07:42, July 17, 2013 CET | From | The Al'Badaran Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Return of Virtue Bill |
| Message | You may contend that, but they will lose income, and if you refuse to recognise that vital fact, then you will go down as the most cold hearted and callous government that this glorious nation has ever seen. |
| Date | 08:48:46, July 17, 2013 CET | From | Justice, Development and Freedom | To | Debating the Return of Virtue Bill |
| Message | The Libertarian Party's concern with money above all else is its greatest failing. There are many perfectly respectable professions that women in Al'Badara can do. Justice, Development and Freedom continues to reject your implication that the only thing women are good for is prostitution. |
| Date | 10:35:42, July 17, 2013 CET | From | Green Republic Party (GRP) | To | Debating the Return of Virtue Bill |
| Message | I agree with all of this except the prostitution part. Some males, who are prostitutes, will wish to continue in this profession too. It should be legalised, but regulated, with large campaigns to prevent violence to women. Criminalising it, will only drive it underground, surely? |
| Date | 10:58:32, July 17, 2013 CET | From | Hizb Al-Ahrar (Liberal Party) | To | Debating the Return of Virtue Bill |
| Message | I am also unhappy about article 2, but will support this bill. |
| Date | 11:34:24, July 17, 2013 CET | From | The Al'Badaran Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Return of Virtue Bill |
| Message | You mistake my caring about the welfare of our women and men and their economic integrity for money. How will you guarantee that women and men forced out of prostitution will not end up on the breadline? |
