For the record, I support the bill in its current form.

Because neither Svenssen nor Deldem has voiced an opinion I will debate open for another 24 hours.  The vote on this bill will take place at roughly this time tomorrow.

This is not your job. Debate will end roughly Saturday night, and a 24 hour vote will follow. I am still here. Your job is to debate. My job is scheduling votes.

You take care of your job, I'll take care of mine.

     The last Lord of Darkness didn't do anything, so I took it upon myself as Imperial Speaker to discharge his duties. Sorry for the confusion over that.

Sorry. Everyone is probably used to not having a Lt. Governor, so I understand the confusion.

But I would like to clarify, that unlike my predecesor, I have every intention of doing the job I was appointed to do.

My bad.  I joined when PiT was speaker.

I understand. I've learned that the SE hasn't had a functioning Lt. Governor in quite a while.

     It's only been two months, actually. The one before that was very good, but he lost re-election. Stuff like that happens.

Since we have not had any debate in about 24 hours now, debate is now closed. We now need to hold a vote on the bill. Vote either Aye or Nay.

A quorum is two people, right?  What happens if we don't get a quorum to vote?

Yes, a quorum is two people.

We can't move forward until we have a quorum, so if they don't vote, we have total gridlock until we get one of the two to vote.

If DelDem and Svennson do not vote within 24 hours of the time I opened the bill up for a vote, they're going to get a personal message from me telling them to do their duties as legislators.

That's perfectly ok.  Sorry if I am coming across as too pushy.

Well, with all three members having voted, the FEAA has passed.

We are ready to move on with other business.

Anyone have a bill to propose?

EDIT: I see Yelnoc has a new bill. We can now begin discussion/debate of the Unborn Child Protection Act.

2nd EDIT: Debate will last end on Tuesday evening (Somewhere in between 3 P.M. and 8 P.M. Central)

Reposted from the Legislation Introduction thread
___________________________________________________________________________________
Unborn Child Protection Act

1.  Noting that...
  • With current medical technology, babies can survive outside of the womb during the third  trimester, as evidenced by the plethora of prematurely born babies that survive to become healthy individuals.
  • Ending the life of a prematurely born baby is illegal.
2.  On that basis, the Unborn Child Protection Act seeks to extend that protection to fetus's in the third trimester.  All abortions carried out during the 3rd Trimester of pregancy are hereby illegal
3.  Any physician who knowingly performs an abortion in the third trimester shall be fined under this titled or imprisoned for not more than two years or both.
4.  Exceptions to this law may be made in the case of a threat to the mother's health, rape, or incest.

     Ahem, are we forgetting something? On the Federal Election Agent Act: by the powers vested in me as Emperor of this region, I thus sign it into law.

     Be it resolved, X Emperor PiT

     Anyway, I will be happy to sign this bill, provided that a clause is included to repeal the Abortion Initiative.

Someone should fix the IDS wiki, it should have the current flag and name of the region.

I feel dumb now.  My bill would do exactly the same thing as this already existing law. Shocked

     Actually, your bill, with my change, would legalize second trimester abortions (should probably repeal the South Carolina & Louisiana bills too while we're at it). Now that's change I can believe in. Wink

1.  Isn't 90 days a trimester?
2.  Why do South Carolina each have independent bills?
