Mr. Fairburn, if you can realize this, new nations come in every day, with differing beliefs, so, there can always be another attempt and this may be won with a different demographic.

New nations do come in but the delegates who control a large portion of the vote in the Assembly don't change so much, this repeal will fail like many before it, the demographics having changed that much and the Assembly still leans left a great deal.


Then we shall keep on fighting.

The "carelessness" is usually on the man's side, but accidents happen (even when contraceptives are used, as short of removing the man's testicles, you cannot guarantee semen will not meet the egg). People shouldn't have to pay for an accident for the rest of their life. You don't get a life sentence for accidental manslaughter either.

Accidents? This is a life at hand. For accidental manslaughter, you still get some punishment, by the way, in most countries. Except, here, this "accident" can be easily prevented by a caring person.

OOC: Easy solution: vasectomy for all boys when they're babies. Artificial insemination only. Can't accidentally get someone pregnant at all. Yet I somehow think that you would think that interfered with your bodily rights. If yes, then you'll understand where I and others come from with our opposition. If not, go get a vasectomy, now.

You could work out those solutions, however, before that, we need to repeal this bill to then get a replacement.

So you're saying in the case of sex only the man is responsible?

On your second thought, again, those solutions can be worked out after the repeal.

But we don't need to repeal this bill, it works for the majority of the nations who support a woman's right to control her own body. The own nations who don't like it are those who desire to strip women of their rights and control their bodies for them while pretending doing so is a moral cause. We need not repeal this bill, it works for pretty much everyone but a small minority of nations.

Well, your "small minority" of nations is actually larger than you think.

Personally, I don't care what nation or state someone was born in, their life and opportunity should be protected by all means. Protecting life, whether that of adults, children, citizens or immigrants should be a priority.

Yes, it works for the majority OF the nations who 'support a woman's right to control her own body', but not for the rest of us who think it is wrong to kill an unborn baby who, if aborted, wouldn't even have the chance to live out their lives.

Thank you for that. That is a major point in why we need a repeal and replacement.

Right it might not work for the rest of nations but in an organization like this where we vote it is majority rule, and this works for the majority. That is why repeals of this have been defeated so many times.

Um... can there be some respect here please? This is just utter disgusting, the way you are acting.

Also, religious or not, preventing a new life is WRONG. It just is. If you don't think so, fine, make a law allowing murder throughout your nation and see what happens.

I'm done debating this issue, good luck with your repeal. The Reproductive Freedoms resolutions has stood against repeals from far more accomplished delegations and will stand against your repeal as well.

Respect? I thought when you respected someone, you didn't force him or her to do something. For example, to have a child and pay for everything that child needs. That is disgusting. Spare me your moralistic nonsense.

Plus, I see you're opposed to welfare. I suppose that extends to the woman you forced into poverty by adding a second mouth to feed to her paycheck without any help. It's funny the way opposition to abortion and welfare always seem to dovetail, isn't it?

Comparing coffee to preventing a life(murder)? That is one low bar.
