Repeal "Reproductive Freedoms"
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.

Category: Repeal
Resolution: GA#286
Proposed by: Omigodtheyclonedkenny

Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #286: Reproductive Freedoms (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: The World Assembly,

Acknowledging the importance of protecting the individual right to reproductive choice on an international level,

Agreeing that legislation on such a sensitive and controversial subject should affirm essential rights while at the same time providing for a modicum of reasonable restrictions to prevent abuse and assure the safety of all those involved,

Regretting that Resolution #286: Reproductive Freedoms falls short in this regard,

Noting that the resolution, by the author's own admission, compels member states to legalize abortion at any point in a patient's pregnancy, even into the late term,

Contending that Reproductive Freedoms' across-the-board legalization of abortion, with few allowances for nations to regulate the practice, and with little regard for preventing abusive cultural customs such as forced abortions or gender-selective abortions, exposes the irresponsible manner in which the legislation was crafted,

Objecting to the fact that the resolution ignores relevant concerns about reducing the need for abortion, in that it forbids "impediments" to abortion-on-demand, which could include even medical counseling about alternatives to abortion,

Expressing its concern that had the voters known just how radical and extreme the measures of this resolution were, it would not have passed,

Seeking consensus on a more moderate reproductive-rights resolution,

Hereby repeals Resolution #286: Reproductive Freedoms.

Approvals: 14 (United Islands of Sootopolis, Kiravian WA Mission, Chester Pearson, Bears Armed Mission, Bereaz, Liberated Global Overstate, Brett Farve Experience, New-Netherealm, Publus, Shadoke III, The federal republic of Simonia, Exaequatio, Edelweis, Zorbae)

Status: Lacking Support (requires 52 more approvals)

Voting Ends: in 3 days 9 hours

No "assistance" needed...just wanted to let interested parties know that this has been submitted and awaiting approvals. So if any of you are delegates of other regions, look it over -- and if you live in other regions besides this one, inform your delegate!

I don't think this is at all needed. Reproductive Freedoms is a great resolution and the only people who want to repeal it are pro-lifers, who I'm... not too fond of.
