The Right to Life League Platform

Preamble:

We the members and delegates of the Right to Life League declare our intentions to create a Culture of Life in the Republican of Atlasia. We oppose the practices of abortion, euthanasia, and the Death Penalty. Our goal is to have these practices officially outlawed in the Republic of Atlasia.

The Right to Life Amendment:

The Right to Life Amendment to the Atlasian Constitution will outlaw the practices of abortion, euthanasia, and the Death Penalty. This amendment will null and void any legislation in contrast with this amendment.

The Death Penalty:

The Death Penalty has it uses, but they are not numerous enough to keep in the Republic. We base our objections on the Illinois Death Row Cases in 2003, where more than 30% of all Death Row in-mates were found to be innocent. We support a complete ban on all the Death Penalty under the previsions in the Right to Life Amendment.

Abortion:

We completely oppose all practices of abortion. We believe that birth begins at conception and doctors have no right to kill a fetus, because it is a living person. We feel that although the numerous Boss Abortion Acts have made fine progress, we call for the complete banning of the practice of abortion in our Republic.

Euthanasia:

Euthanasia is completely opposed in its entirety by the Right to Life League. Any practice that gives ability to “play God” to any doctor, to choose when one will live and one will die, is not acceptable to any who favor a Culture of Life. This practice, as well, will be banned under the Right to Life Amendment.

Schiavo Cases:

As was the case in the very disputed Terry Schiavo Case, it all comes down to whether we wish to “play God” or not. We frown upon the Florida Supreme Court Decision to let Mrs. Schiavo to starve to death, and extremely dislike the idea that she didn’t deserve life because she was “in a constant state of vegetation.” We support legislation that would end any court rules when it comes to feeding tubes for patience. In building a culture of life we need to protect those who some may say would be “happy “to die. We oppose any ideas that any living being would “enjoy” or “deserve” death due to their status.


”Culture of Life:

This common statement used by our members simply means that we favor an Atlasia where we accept the importance of respect for human life and the great gift that our Lord gave to us. We will continue to use this term as a rallying cry for all those who strive to see that all life is seen as sacred.

Preamble: We need a revised one, Nay

Right to Life Amendment: Some modifications needed, Nay

The Death Penalty: Nay we need to keep it but try to control it a little more

Abortion: Aye, you'll get me on this! :)

Euthanasia: People should have the right to want to die with written instructions seen by a lawer and witnesses so Nay

Schivao Cases: Aye

Culture of Life: Aye

Preamble: Dopes not need to be voted on.

Right to Life Amendment: Aye

The Death Penalty: Aye

Abortion: Aye

Euthanasia: Aye

Schivao Cases: Aye

Culture of Life: Aye

Right to Life Amendment: Aye

The Death Penalty: Nay

Abortion: While I strongly oppose the practice of abortion, I do feel that there are extreme cases in which it should be kept legal (rape, life of the mother). It pains me but...  - Nay

Euthanasia: Aye

Schivao Cases: Aye

Culture of Life: Aye

The Right to Life Amendment:

Aye

The Death Penalty:

Nay, but I propose a revised one:

The Death Penalty has it uses, but they are not numerous enough to keep in the Republic. We base our objections on the Illinois Death Row Cases in 2003, where more than 30% of all Death Row in-mates were found to be innocent. We support a complete ban on all the Death Penalty under the previsions in the Right to Life Amendment as long as abortion is fully banned as well.[/b]

Abortion:

Aye

Euthanasia:

Aye

Schiavo Cases:

Aye

Culture of Life:

Aye

Ah darn, I didn't know this was here when I sent you that PM PBrunsel.  I've got a few revisions to propose:

The Death Penalty:

The Death Penalty is an objectionable practice that does not warrant itself to be used in the Republic. We base our objections on the Illinois Death Row Cases in 2003, where more than 30% of all Death Row in-mates were found to be innocent. We support a complete ban on all the Death Penalty under the previsions in the Right to Life Amendment.  We support a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole for crimes that would otherwise recieve a death sentence.

Euthanasia:

Euthanasia is completely opposed in its entirety by the Right to Life League. Any practice that gives ability to “play God” to any doctor, to choose when one will live and one will die, is not acceptable to any who favor a Culture of Life. One must also consider the fact that a person in great suffering is able to change his/her mind, and that physician assisted suicide, once performed, cannot be undone.  This practice, as well, will be banned under the Right to Life Amendment.

Aye on both revisions.

Right to Life Amendment: Aye

The Death Penalty: Abstain.  I have personally had a family member murdered so I can understand the impulse.

Abortion: Aye

Euthanasia: Aye

Schivao Cases: Aye

Culture of Life: Aye


Aye on the revisions.

Aye on all platform planks.

Aye on my revisions.

Nay on the first revision.

Aye on the second revision.

The Right to Life Amendment: Nay, because of...The Death Penalty: Nay

Abortion: Aye

Euthanasia: Aye

Schiavo Cases: Aye

Culture of Life: Aye

Revision 1: In case the death penalty plank passes, I like Ebowed',s version better, so Aye

Revision 2: Aye

I forgot that there wasn't a revised version of the Right to Life Amendment yet. I change my vote on the Right to Life Amendment from Aye to Nay.

The Right to Life Amendment: Aye.

The Death Penalty: Nay, but if Jake's amendment were to pass I would vote aye.

Abortion: Nay, for the reason Keystone Phil listed above.

Euthanasia: Aye

Schiavo Cases: Aye

Culture of Life: Aye

Revision 1: In case the death penalty plank passes, I like Ebowed',s version better, so Aye.

Revision 2: Aye

Although I don't strictly adhere to this platform, I'd like to join this caucus. 

A new startling revelation from the pro-lifers ;)

Babies should be walking by 1st trimester.

Time to vote for our endorsements. Think about them carfeully before voting and choose those who you feel will continue a Culture of Life in Atlasia.

Voting ends tommorow at 9:00 p.m. EST. Just to tell you all.

Surely you mean "life" rather than "birth"...

I already pointed this out, honey; Surely I mentioned it over breakfast this morning.

Actually it kinda isn't. I do believe in legal abortions in the first and second trimesters as well as support for stem cell research.

True, but you don't believe in infanticide. 

I typically wouldn't endorse a candidate in that position, except when the alternative is that reprehensible, which seems sort of obvious.  :)  Hence the remark.

Alright I get what you meant.
