Current Proposal: On Abortion

Overview

Proposal:
This proposal aims to repeal GA#128 for allowing physicians to deny abortion on grounds of moral objection.

Daarwyrth wrote:

This repeal will receive Daarwyrth's full support. An individual seeking to obtain access to abortion should not be hindered by the superstitious beliefs of a medical professional nor of any other individual. And while it is vitally important that such procedures are performed by sufficiently qualified medical personnel, it seems excessive to demand a surgeon's qualification for this procedure.

This is why our glorious Empress, Roberta I, has instructed her delegation to the World Assembly to support this repeal once it reaches the floor.

Janmute wrote:

"As the representative of a new WA member unaware of the author of this repeal, I headed into this draft expecting some pro-life jabber about the evil of abortion. The draft and ensuing related laws that I read, however, proved Wallenburg's point and the necessity of this repeal well and succinctly. Completely supported."

Wardogs of past wrote:

Not only will this resolution remove the ability for a healthcare professional to deny a patient their ensured right to receive needed medical care, the language used by the drafting nation also acknowledges the existence of pregnant individuals who are not female, and who can therefore not be called mothers.
This seemingly minor detail is but one victory in the larger fight against unneeded gendered language in the medical field, a problem which carries the risk of causing both mental and physical harm to those receiving medical care, and one can only hope our fellow members of the World Assembly understand the importance of such victories, as well as the need for further work to ensure no person will experience the pain of being denied the help they require.

We are pleased to have the privilege of giving our full support.

In my opinion, it's unethical to force doctors to do abortions if they don't want to. "On Abortion" protects the right of doctors to choose not to perform abortions. After all, there is a resolution (Access to Abortion) that mandates that abortions are provided. All that repealing this will do is allow member-states to force doctors to perform abortion even if they have conscensious objections, and since it's very controversial there will be a lot of doctors who have an objection (most other medical operations aren't that controversial). Forcing them to do something they have a moral objection against is just wrong.

Philimbesi wrote:

The idea that a woman would want to receive an abortion from a doctor that objects to the procedure is preposterous. As much so as forcing the doctor into performing it. Especially when there is legislation that creates venues where they can receive the service from non objecting doctors as those mentioned in the very repeal we are discussing. What is the honored ambassador seeking to make it mandatory that any doctor anywhere must perform the procedure? Regardless of their freely chosen specialty? Go to your dentist and demand and abortion, see the podiatrist ask them to terminate the pregnancy? Freedom Religious expression is just as important as body autonomy, and it should remain so.

Therefore, I rise to cast my vote against this repeal.

Is there an issue for a one year anniversary? Maybe an easter egg? Just crossed my mind.

There's a banner... I think that's it.

There is an Easter Egg for Nationstates' own first year anniversary, which is now given to natons that find ~3 Easter Eggs.

I know, but it would be cool for the nations themselves, if you see what I mean.

WAS Report Volume 14 – March 2021

Delegate: Wischland

• March has seen a large decline in the delegate endorsement count, partially due to the delegate transition combined with the declining number of domestic WA nations.

• 10KI moves one spot back up into 3rd position and the average number of endorsements per nations soars up above 25 in an all-time high.

So, I asked the librarian if they had any books on paranoia. She leaned over and whispered, "They're right behind you..."

Oh! Apparently this is my founding day! Yay! And also: I finally got the events I wanted in HOI4! The first one was Edward VIII dying after London being bombed, and then after that: George getting overwhelmed by stress and passing, leaving Elizabeth II and her corgis in charge! In Ironman mode! I also managed to get Mr Smilter out of power via the Great Conspiracy, and then I of course chose Goring to lead a divided Germany! Again, in Ironman mode! Finally! Oh, and I finally managed to get Mrs Wallace as Queen of the US after several frustrations, and fails, of course in a different save game than the scenario where I got Elizabeth II as Queen!

It's weird that after the founding of this nation 2 days and 6 hours ago I still receive recruitment telegrams...
