[Marokai Backbeat]

Hell to the No.

[tmthforu94]

I support this bill, but there are a few amendments that should be added, such as allowing abortion in cases of incest or mother's life in danger.

[Rowan]

Obviously I support this bill.

But I am willing to amend it if need be.

[Vepres]

Good luck with that.

[Hash]

No.

[HappyWarrior]

Though I am not a senator I just want to say that I oppose this based on regional rights grounds.

[Fritz]

I think not.

[Ebowed]

I wonder how the Regional Protection Party will feel about this one.

[Mechaman]

I am not a senator, but mark my words when I do become one I shall vote "nay" on legislation like this.

[Franzl]

No, not under any circumstances, as disgusting as abortions are.

[afleitch]

No. Plain and simply; no. There should be no 'flirting' with limiting abortion (and I feel there can be a case for that) without a complementary and full on pro-contraception and safe sex health drive.

[Hash]

Motion to table.

[Rowan]

Glad so many here support infanticide.

[Franzl]

Motion to table.

I second that proposal.

[Purple State]

Glad so many here support infanticide.

You don't want me to write up a legislative report on this bill. Trust me, it does more harm than good to outlaw abortions.

[tmthforu94]

I'm in a bit of a pickle on this bill. While I would personally favor a nationwide ban on abortion, it obviously isn't what a lot of my constituents want. Also, I fear that if we make this such a nationwide issue, the left could try and counter it by trying to make all of Atlasia pro-choice, destroying some regional laws that put restrictions on abortions.

[MasterJedi]

I hereby open up the vote on the motion to table. Please vote Aye, Nay or Abstain.

Nay. I want the "rape and if the mother's life is in danger" added though.

[Rowan]

Nay

[tmthforu94]

Nay. While I am skeptical of the bill, and won't vote for it in it's current state, it should be discussed, and we possibly could come up with a compromise, like allowing regions to alter the bill if desired.

[RI]

I encourage the Senators to vote nay on this motion and to take afleitch's comments to heart. If you work at it, a comprehensive abortion reform plan may be possible.

[Lief 🗽]

This will be vetoed if it passes, just for the Senate's information. The right of a woman to have full control over her body is incredibly important, and I won't stand for the Senate legislating that right away.

[Fritz]

Aye

[Marokai Backbeat]

Aye, but this motion is going to fail i think.

[Hash]

Aye
