The purpose of this is to debate a Bill before it is added. Debate can center on whether the Bill should be passed or not, or it can center over which lobbyists care about the Bill in question. Some Bills are unconstitutional or simply redundant, so if this Bill is one of those, it won't be added in the first place, so feel free to debate that, too. Have fun.

Vote World Ruler
I shall support the ban on abortion except where it threatens the mother's life. I shall not support any sex or abortion education campaigns for youth.

I Agree
This bill would be very important though i disagree with spending more money... money which might i add we do not have. Instead i would support more in depth sexual educations in the classroom not in the gymnasium

I support with an asterisk
Does no one have an actual point to make other than i support/I don't support?

The 1st and second semester you approve of the abortions, but not the third, I agree with this based on a personal view on when a child becomes a child, but the public may oppose the movement. We need to consider what the people want.

Did everyone else miss the pathetic funding for abstinence education? The numbers may look big, but when it's spread accross all the schools in the state they get no real funding, and it's back to a horrible system.

I support the protected sex program, I like where it's funding is and support the idea.

I agree with some parts
I do not agree with funding for abstinence programs, in my opinion this will not deter a person from engaging in sex.

I would think it would be appropriate to extend abstinence teaching into regular classroom curriculum, it that.

Agree but cut some things
I totally agree, but Section 4 is a money waster. Students will not listen if you stand in front of a classroom and say DO NOT HAVE SEX. It needs to be better than that. The Sexual Protection part would be something to invest in. I love the idea. See, students just need to be aware of what is going on, and that's what parents, churches, guidance counselors, and other influences are for. If students want to have sex then they will. So instead take out Section 4 and leave Sections 1, 2, 3, and 5. This way, we save needed money by cutting out something useless.

Cut Section 4
I agree with John290, I agree but get rid of Section 4 it's a waste of money.

Ugh.
This is a disgusting bill. Why should there be any distibnction between normal and partial abortions? There is not one sentence in the bill that deserves consideration.

I Disagree
Where has our respect for women's rights gone? Are we honestly planning on banning partial birth abortions? We give women a time period to decide if they want an abortion or not? Plus we're going to spend $15,000,000 on abstinence programs? What happened to just plain old Sex Ed in schools? We cannot honestly consider this bill for passage.

I Disagree
I agree with Mr.Bennett completely.

I disagree
I third Mr. Bennett's motion. Woman should have a right to choose. Plus, even if abortions were banned, woman in certain circumstances would still attempt to abort their fetus/embryo, but they would be doing it in unsanitary conditions, under the knife of a badly skilled individual, with a coat hanger. It is better to provide a safe, inexpensive way for woman to have their procedures.
