Bill: Protection of Life Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Democratic Centrist 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: March 4120
Description[?]:
| Fundamentally, we believe in the free choice of women to decide over their own bodies. However, allowing abortions to be performed up until the point of birth, way beyond the point at which babies are capable of sustaining life outside the uterus, is tantamount to the killing of newborns. Given that medical emergencies affecting the mother appearing in the third trimester will be treated through caesarean section rather than aborting the fetus, we suggest limiting abortion to the first and second trimester. |
Proposals

| Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |
