Abortion Protests Out of Hand?
Description
Following several reports from internet news outlets that pro-life protesters have been harassing pregnant women seeking abortions, the Womyn's I've never actually seen this word used off NS, but this might be my limited experience. Liberation League has pushed for a bill in Parliament that it says would protect access to clinics.
Validity
Valid only for nations with legalized abortion (see Issue #136: Options 1 & 4, Issue #183: Option 1).
Options
[option]"Passing this bill would be an important step in advancing abortion rights," says pro-choice activist @@RANDOMFEMALENAME@@. "The fact of the matter is that these protesters are obstructing women as they try to enter clinics. Double space hereWhen someone wants an abortion, the law ought to be on her side. Making abortion legal was a good first step, but we need to go further to secure women's safety. Anti-abortion activists ought to be required to stand in designated areas at least 25 meters NS issues are written in Queen's English (because Barry is Australian), so metres. But I may be wrong. away from the clinics they're protesting."
[effect]police escort anti-abortion activists to free speech cages if they try to express their views
[stats]civil rights slightly increase, political freedoms decrease, law & order spending slightly increases
[option]"What about the right to free speech?!" asks @@RANDOMNAME@@, lawyer for the pro-life activists. "These are public spaces, and my clients should have the liberty to get their views across. You might disagree with their opinion, but it would be draconian for the government to prohibit them from telling these women the truth about the procedure they are getting."
[effect]teenagers looking for free condoms can't enter health clinics without being bombarded with two dozen anti-abortion pamphlets
[stats]civil rights slightly decrease, political freedoms increase
[option]"The truth is that these abortion mills are killing thousands of children every year," cries @@RANDOMNAME@@, a local minister. "For the sake of human rights and legal equality, the government must stand up for the unborn and ban this immoral practice immediately."
[effect]the airline industry is booming as pregnant women book tickets for "weekend trips" overseas
[stats]civil rights decrease, social conservatism significantly increases, religiosity slightly increases, economy increases, wealth gap slightly increases, law & order spending increases, crime slightly increases, healthcare spending slightly decreases, education spending slightly increases
[option]"Shut your mouth, you stupid fundie!" screams militant antitheist Perhaps a confusing term - also one that I've found few people use to self-identify @@RANDOMNAME@@. "All these wackos are doing is peddling their outdated misogyny, and I'm damn tired of it. The only way we'll make any real social progress is to put a stop to their hatemongering entirely. I insist that the whole anti-abortion movement be outlawed with stiff penalties for these anti-choice advocates." Somehow, this seems more reasonable to me now than it did before. Perhaps I was in a bad mood.
[effect]preachers and little old ladies disappear from their homes at night and are never heard from again
[stats]civil rights decrease, political freedoms significantly decrease, law & order spending increases, social conservatism decreases, religiosity decreases, disappearance increases as a cause of death
Comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

If the author wants to keep "metres" that's fine as we can set the validity so only nations with the metric system will get it (provided they answered issues in line with getting rid of the metric system, of course).

Thanks for the clarification. Not a big issue anyway, as I said.

I like that wording.
Overall, I think this is a very good issue. Good luck!

Total side issue here, sorry, and nothing at all to do with the issue that's been submitted, but both British (Queen's) and American English are used.
To be quite honest it depends on the editor; typically myself and Sedge use British English, while Luna and Lenyo would use American English. Actually, since we take out some parts of issues and leave other bits in during the process, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a few issues out there that change which English is used several times throughout the text.
