That would be New York state in particular.

"Oh, gosh, I forgot my lanyard, haven't I?", Lacklustre Tinhamptonian Intern of Sorts for the WA: "How can referral to a baby, unborn baby as a clump of cells be deemed promotion of third-term abortion? Also, while women can choose when their baby is aborted, then what happens?" (Tinhampton is OOCly against, ICly nominally on the fence but will be opposed to any contradictory resolutions such as this one)

“I am opposed on principle. On another note, since I feel my opposition is rather unoriginal given every other ambassador’s similar stance, I don’t think there is a need for clause 2 to exist. A foetus is literally a clump of cells. That is what it is. Whilst that is an undescriptive, vague, long-winded name, it works.”
Hello! I’m a GAer and NS Roleplayer from the United Kingdom.
My pronouns are he/him.
Any posts that I make as GenSec will be clearly marked as such and OOC. Conversely, my IC ambassador in the General Assembly is Ambassador Fortier. I’m always happy to discuss ideas about proposals, particularly if grammar or wording are in issue. I am also Executive Deputy Minister for the WA Ministry of TNP.
Kenmoria is an illiberal yet democratic nation pursuing the goals of communism in a semi-effective fashion. It has a very broad diplomatic presence despite being economically developing, mainly to seek help in recovering from the effect of a recent civil war. Read the factbook here for more information; perhaps, I will eventually finish it.

Why single out incest in this way?
Why is a person whose unwanted pregnancy was the result of consensual incestuous acts worthy of more protection than other pregnant people?

Elyreia is a stringent crusader for equal rights (as many of you may already know from our tirades on previous debates), however this is a case where the rights of one are being squashed for the rights of another no matter which way the debate goes.

Either we remove the rights of females over their own bodies in order to allow an unwanted fetus to inhabit and use their body against their wills, or we remove the rights of the unborn fetus who does not have the ability to act autonomously outside of the body.

In such a case, we must decide whose rights are more important. This is a very sour debate, but Elyreia's decision is that the females have priority over the fetus. Else-wise we give them less control over their bodies than males may have.
