I am glad that Senator Tyrion offered his amendment and I plan to be voting for it if it is declared hostile.

As for the underlying Amendment, I will have to vote no regardless of what changes are made to it. As it stands currently, there has a been a boost to activity of the likes of X, Siren and probably OAM as well thanks to the controversy that this incident has created and thus produces the likelihood of an interesting series of elections in the Mideast. It also opens the potential for a court case in the near future, when we have had precious few cases over the past year (though more then last year obviously), therefore I think it would be a mistake to undercut both of these trends considering the outcome will almost certainly be the same one way or the other on the issue itself.

I understand and sympathize with the motivations even if I disagree fundamentally on the question of life and whether protecting the unborn is important, but from the perspective of the game this is the wrong approach for those who are pro-choice to take.

I know I'm not Gass3268, and I don't pretend I'm speaking for him here, but I strongly object to limiting abortions at any stage of pregnancy. I do support the intent of this amendment, but I think it should go further -- with a name like "Women's Rights Amendment" we should really do something with it that not only guarantees the right to an abortion, but also guarantees equality before the law for women.

Didn't Nappy and the boys already take care of that a year ago?

In hindsight I kind of did the same think to that, that Orrin Hatch pulled on Immigration reform.
