I'm tired of all the whining about Abortion Rights, and all the horrid and biased repeal proposals out there, so I wrote my own. Anyone wanna help me get this in place?

By the way, I usually consider myself pro-choice, but this Resolution is too much of a fundamental inequity for the UN to support.

Looks good to me, let me know when it's submitted and I'll ask my delegate - Hippietania - to support it. That said, the ACA has almost concluded a draft 'extension' of the law that considerably softens the blow of the original resolution.

The problem I've noticed recently is that a repeal isn't enough for the more vocal pro-lifers in the UN. They want anti-abortion legislation to follow. Kind of like wanting your cake with a cherry on top and then eating it while being fanned by concubines who profess their undying love for you. It's a really damn fine cake, too.

If you do that, anti-abortion legislation will follow.

Well firstly I am pro-choice though most of you probably already know that and I think your arguments in the repeal are fair Frisbeeteria.

That said, I agree with Eco, the majority of those seeking repeal do in fact want to ban abortion all together and the minute the repeal happens I feel we are going to have just as many ban abortion proposals/debates as those for repeal. In my humble opinion those seeking repeal hide behind the national sovereignty argument and debate us to death in the hopes that we will finally agree to that argument and bring a repeal.

Personally I have been advocating a new proposal rather than a repeal for a little while now and in fact I have even managed to talk round a few more conservative nations to my way of thinking. I feel the UN should make its position clear on abortion and with a new proposal to lessen the blow a little for our friends on the other side of the fence, I feel we could put this issue to rest somewhat. I have in fact been working on a proposal myself, though Eco if you don’t mind, it would be great to work with the ACA and combine our thinking, if that will be permitted.

Absolutely no problem, Telidia (T? Tel? Teli? Lid? Lidia? Lydia? Guess I'm lucky with my easily-abbreviated name!).

Basically, I'll support Fris' repeal or a good notanamendmentnonono, whichever comes first.

Fortunately for y'all, those wacky conservatives will never be able to get a resolution outlawing abortion passed, even if the Abortion Rights Resolution is repealed. The UN constituency is much too liberal to allow abortion to be outlawed.

Never say never :}

Never.

Indeed that may be the case, but like Tori said (hope you don’t mind the abbreviation, let me know if you do) never, say never. Besides I do feel the UN should make its position known, we do so on any other controversial issue, what is so different here? I agree this issue is divisive, but I feel no more than gay marriage or any other of the more fundamental matters.

As I told Fris (on IRC) I might argue against this one if I have the time.

I feel Fris' reasoning that 'free choice' for states (players) is a value is flaud. IMO NS nations have billions of individuals who need free choice. Human rights are a matter of rights for individuals, not nations IMO. To present a law that will ban free choice in a moral matter as a free choice argument is mildly offensive, IMO.

There's nothing different here. As usual, I see no need for the type of UN interference that keeps occurring.

I'm afraid we support the current legislation.
