MessageNew Democrats will not support-- we are pushing to extend abortion rights to the second trimester.

From Conservative Party
ToDebating the Amendment to Criminal Code, Article I
MessageWhy is this even a matter for the government to decide? Isn't this better handled at the local level?

Datenot recorded
From New Democrats of Rutania
ToDebating the Amendment to Criminal Code, Article I
MessageIf it is handled at the local level, it's still being decided by government. It's a human rights issue, and variance in the application of human rights will not be tolerated.

MessageAlso, regional control of abortion policy isn't a proposal option. When you make a bill, you need to add proposals. Only the content of proposals affects law and public opinion.

From Conservative Party
ToDebating the Amendment to Criminal Code, Article I
MessageI'm calling for an appeal, which once I figure out how to do/if it is implimented, I will do.

The entire point is local, not federal. I fail to see how abortion is a 'human right'. Not even the courts buy that, most abortion arguments center around the right to privacy, which is highly shaky grounds.

Less vodka more sleep less vodka more sleep

Datenot recorded
From New Democrats of Rutania
ToDebating the Amendment to Criminal Code, Article I
MessageBy human right, I meant a civil right. Right to privacy in making decisions regarding one's own body.

Datenot recorded
From Libertarian Alcoholic Par-tay
ToDebating the Amendment to Criminal Code, Article I
MessageI disagree with the conservative party on two main points. For one thing, government on a local level is still to all intents and purposes government. This is clearly a decision which must be made across the board, by national government. I do, by the way, support the legalization of abortion to a fairly maximal degree. Secondly, I disagree with the conservative "less vodka more sleep" suggestion. I propose more vodka and less sleep.

ToDebating the Amendment to Criminal Code, Article I
MessageFor once, I agree completely with the Libertarian Alcoholic Party.

Datenot recorded
From Conservative Party
ToDebating the Amendment to Criminal Code, Article I
MessageI fail to see how a 'right to privacy' trumps the right to life.

Datenot recorded
From New Democrats of Rutania
ToDebating the Amendment to Criminal Code, Article I
MessageIt doesn't, but a fetus is not a human being.

Datenot recorded
From Conservative Party
ToDebating the Amendment to Criminal Code, Article I
MessageThere we must disagree.

ToDebating the Amendment to Criminal Code, Article I
MessageAnyhow, any objections to a motion to bring this to a floor vote?


Datenot recorded
From RSDP - Democratic Front
ToDebating the Amendment to Criminal Code, Article I
MessageI wouldn't object to bring this to vote, but I would vote against this proposed bill.

Datenot recorded
From Imperial Party
ToDebating the Amendment to Criminal Code, Article I
MessageAbortion should only be permitted in medical emergencies.

It shouldn't be the mothers choice to decide, it should be the choice of the bureacracy.

ToDebating the Amendment to Criminal Code, Article I
MessageThe Liberal Party will not support restrictions placed upon the woman's right to choice.

Datenot recorded
From Libertarian Alcoholic Par-tay
ToDebating the Amendment to Criminal Code, Article I
MessageThe Libertarian Alcoholic Party is pro-abortion. Fetuses, at least in early stages of development, do not constitute human beings. Thus, the choice falls upon the woman who's body is involved (at least during the first trimester)/
