I"M HERE!
Why I think that this act is very important:
1) It will improve our relationship with the Afghanistan.
2) It is a one more step in a worldwide human rights.

Well, we've got to help these women, don't we? I don't see why you would oppose this, unless you're a cold, heartless slug of a human.

I like this bill, and suggest including family planning education and reproductive health care. Unless these women are educated about their rights and in control of their bodies, they will remain oppressed.

Napoleon- I understand you want to turn a unanimous, well-intentioned bill into an abortion debate... I recommend we spare the controversy and pass this and help the women of Afghanistan

Did you even read the link or is this Whig War on Women going international?

You have to be literally heartless to not be concerned for the health and safety of these poor women.

Would the Afghan government be able to reject this aid if we included such provisions?  I'm not opposed to them, I just want to make sure that won't screw us over as far as actually accomplishing anything in this bill.

I only have a couple concerns with this legislation- how do we ensure that the funds are not being swindled out in corruption and that the Afghan government meets the requirements prescribed by the bill?  Those are always my biggest concerns with foreign aid.

I support Napoleon's suggestion (never thought I'd say that).

I guess wed make the people who take care of that stuff do it, if they exist.

I'm not very good at this whole 'writing bills' thing. I just vote Smiley.

I think that we should appoint a Special Representative or something like that. He would report regularly to President and Senate.
