Nay

Absolutely not. For one, our funding for programs that are not regional-specific should not disporpotionately favour one region. Secondly, pregnancy itself threatens the "health of the mother." This amendment would have the effect of rendering the entire bill obsolite (except, interestingly, the extra spending for the Northeast). So nay, nay, nay, all the way, way way.

Half of his amendment could. I'd be open to discussing funding for safe-sex education in a new bill. Right now, the funding-related section of his amendment only favours one region. Why on Earth should a federal body pass something like that?

I am open to withdrawing the amendment and writing a new one that re-appropriates funds to all the regions, but with that said I'll admit I originally porked the bill for political reasons.

Everyone's against pork when there aren't real resources at stake Tongue

Pork only works if you can 1) get away with or 2) Other Senators have the opportunity to do so and in fact take advantage of it. Tongue

Nay.

Nay. I wouldn't vote for the amendment even if it wasn't porked.

Nay, but I am very amused at the introduction of pork projects in the Atlasian Senate!

There is something wrong with that vote result above, if you see it don't spill it, I want the person it applies to to catch it. Evil It doesn't affect the results and the numbers are accurate.

So you were paying attention, good. Tongue

Is there more amendments coming? I was under the impression, that was the case. If so, can we please expedite that.

I'm not going to object to Scott's amendment right away, but if it does pass, I'll be presenting an amendment to allow regional opt-outs—without the provision that unclaimed monies will be split amongst participating regions.

I object to Scott's amendment. Why is the additional funding necessary as a part of this bill? (I'm prepared to vote for the amendment if this can be explained, BTW.)

What don't you like about Yankee's amendment, out of curiosity?  I think that will improve the way the cash is distributed.

I believe that increasing funding to education programs and expanding the availability of contraceptives will reduce the number of abortions more than the ban itself.

I object to the inclusion of the Department of Internal Affairs, given my opposition to the position of SoIA. I have no problem giving the same work to the GM instead.
