Nym90 Administration

[Nym90]

Well, on abortion, my stance is, and always has been, that I support illegalizing late term abortions except in cases of life and health of the mother. So it's completely false to say that I opposed illegalizing late term abortions. I failed to support the bill because it illegalized abortion after the 3rd month. I would have supported illegalizing it after the 5th month. So Al's right, it's definitely spin to say that I opposed illegalizing late term abortion. This is also not the most liberal and lax of all postions. I oppose legal late term abortions except to save the life or health of the mother. I do not feel that illegalizing abortion after the 3rd month is a good idea, as many women do not know that they are pregnant until 6-8 weeks in anyway, and if they work full time and live far from an abortion clinic, one month's time to get the abortion performed may not be sufficient. I support the 5 month cutoff because this is the earliest that a fetus has ever been born and survived outside the womb.

Yes, I do oppose the death penalty in all circumstances. I feel that it is morally wrong. Others may disagree, and that's fine, but I would have rather lost the election than compromise my strongly held moral convictions.

In retrospect, if I hadn't endorsed Boss Tweed, I probably would have won. If I hadn't endorsed him, he very well might have lost, and thus never would have introduced the bill, and thus I wouldn't have lost the swing voters over this issue. Oh well, I guess that's the way politics works.

Of course, if I had known at the time that he was more conservative than .Andrew, I would have endorsed .Andrew.

It should also be noted that an abortion bill that I would have signed (illegalizing abortion after 5 months except in the cases of mother's life and health) was then proposed, but nobody voted on it, preventing me from signing it. Despite my repeated calls for the Senate to vote, there was no action. It's not my fault the Senate didn't act.

Nym failed due to his lack of keeping Peter Bell away and running Dunn off. And allowing the UAC joke to rise to power.

How did I run Dunn off, and how did Peter Bell's support hurt my chances? He seems to be a pretty well respected member of the Forum, overall.

Peter Bell was the leader of the Civil War! You support him?

I didn't support that, of course not. He was granted amnesty for his actions, though. And he voted for me, that's what I meant by support. I feel that he is still a good and active member of the Forum, he's not a troll at all.

Are you talking to Tweed or me, Ben?

Tweed, you may be right, you may have won anyway, I don't know if my endorsement mattered or not. But it might have at least given Democrats pause and caused them to at least consider .Andrew, if I had endorsed him instead.
