| Message | Article 1 will legalise abortion for the full term of the pregnancy and we support a woman's right to choose. Article 2 will legalise union and agency shops as we are only against closed shops and we believe that union and agency shops will not affect labour productivity and labour relations Article 3 will increase the mean age of education to 18 to ensure that every student had the opportunity to atleast complete high schooling Article 4 will encourage moderate support to countries in need of development funding Article 5 will illegalise paramilitaries as paramilitaries may cause instability in the country I request all parties to support this bill Justin Steven |
