Description[?]:
| Senators, A while back the Senate banned infanticide. This is a good forward step for the country, but we must do more. All life must be protected, so that all persons conceived can have a chance to prove their strength in life. The government must outlaw the practice of abortion, except in cases of medical emergencies, and all contraceptive methods. We must be a nation which cares for its young and provides equal opportunity for all its citizens, both born and unborn. Cyprianus Tertius Consul Popularis |
