Little bit of friendly advice on number two. In Atlasia no one noes exactly when the next election is. The consensus is late June.

Yes we do, it is the 2nd to last Thursday in June and the election lasts 72 hours.

Thanks to both of you!

Well, since two has been answered for you, I'll answer #1. I have nothing personal against my opponent. He is a nice guy who has never resorted to anything underhanded, and I commend him for that.
I believe I will make a better Senator than him because I stand for change in Atlasia's future. As many people have been pointing out, the nation of Atlasia is falling apart due to bickering and a problematic government. The same old rivalries come up again and again, and new rivalries are clogging up the boards. We need to change all this by bringing fresh faces into the game and into the government.
From a purely policy standpoint, I disagree with my opponent most markedly on abortion and pornography. Once a baby is conceived, it is a living thing and should be treated as such. There should be heavy punishemnt for the doctor who performs any abortion, and punishment for the mother as well, along with any other conspirators. I believe that those under 18 should not be able to view pornography, and should be punished with community service. Nothing more, because the punishment must fit the crime, and nothing less, because that would not have a lasting impact on the teenager.

Do you have even a rough idea regarding the legnth of potential prison sentences for both doctors and/or mothers involved? Follow-up question: If the pregnancy resulted from rape, should the mother face more, less, or equivalent potential prison time than her rapist?

Rape is a circumstance which allows for early-term abortions. The mother should be exempt from any prison time in that case. The rapist should be prosecuted to full extent of the law.

Thank you for clarifying. I misunderstood your position to disallow abortions in cases of rape and incest. Do you also support allowing an exception for a medically verifiable threat to the mother's health? How about med verifiable "significant threat to mother's long term reproductive well-being"?

I'll also repeat my earlier question, which I'm the most interested in answer, as to whether you have a rough idea regarding the potential prison sentence range for doctors and/or mothers who take part in an abortion?
