The World Assembly,
COGNIZANT of the fact that many abortions are performed because of the impact that such a pregnancy would have upon one's economic and educational circumstances, in addition to any medical or psychological ramifications, and that the costs of childcare are often seen as prohibitive with unplanned pregnancies;
RESOLVED to put forward some means by which member states may ameliorate the financial ramifications of unplanned pregnancies, which are often among the root causes of the need for abortion services;
Hereby mandates the following:
- Pregnancy-Related Healthcare: Members must provide options for cost-free health care for all health issues and procedures related to pregnancy. This includes means taken to prevent pregnancy, such as contraceptive medication and surgery.
- Child-Related Healthcare: Members must provide options for cost-free pediatric healthcare for children up to the point of adolescence at minimum.
- Childcare: Childcare service options must be available cost-free to parents engaged in occupational or educational pursuits.
- Welfare: Members must enact policies providing expanded welfare support options to households. These support options must include at minimum:
Such welfare supports can and should remain subject to any currently established eligibility requirements.
- Cost-free parental training courses.
- Cost-free psychological therapy both for parent and child as needed.
- Social Services as needed.
- Financial assistance specifically directed towards cost-of-living expenses for children, focusing on food, clothing, and essential household items.
