Having said that, though, to have a decent chance to be elected in any large region, you probably shouldn't state you would (nor should you actually) vote against the will of the people on such a broad category of resolutions such as abortion. This is just a game, and voting in favour of the pro-choice/anti-life/baby-killing (pick your own label) position won't actually have any effect whatsoever on -actual- abortion. The fetuses/babies/poor human beings are all virtual. I realize that. It's a matter of principle. -------------- OFF-TOPIC DISCUSSION (I'm not trying to start an abortion debate) To make one thing clear to everyone here, I'd support going after doctors -- rather than women, often distraught teenagers -- if abortion were recriminalized (maybe a misdemeanor for adult women). In my opinion, the only abortions that should be legal are lifesaving abortions. A few weeks ago, I read an interesting pro-life article (link); and I liked this quote, which has been on my mind lately: "(B)y playing one's life in reverse, as if in a movie, getting younger day by day until we reach Day One, we find no way to identify any day when we were essentially different from the day before -- until conception. The moment before, there was no 'me.'" Anyway . . . it's just something to think about. Edited by Christian Democrats, Jan 2 2012, 08:02 AM.

However given the circumstances I'll give some advice here. I understand your veiws on abortions. However if you are the delegate, especially In a large region. Your job isn't to vote on issues as you see fit. Your vote is not just the vote of a single nation, it's the vote that represents the entire region. It holds much more weight than any single nations vote. So that vote should be in keeping with the wishes of the region. While technically it's legal to vote as you see fit, it could also mean your term of delegate could be a short one if the region isn't happy with it.

TWP is the only feeder I know where "ideology" plays a part, TWP WA voting declares it is Nat Sov themed (and I played some part in formalising that) but even that can be overridden if the people wish on specific resolutions. Of course it could also be said that the TWP community supports the theme, which is why we could declare it in the first place (since part of it has Gatesville influences that has passed down etc)

So just because you have your feelings about what you think Christianity is, and what the Faith believes in, why do you feel you get to dictate what a "distraught teenager" does with her body a thousand miles away?

However perhaps you could persuade Internal affairs, that an open debate board would be a great place to have such a thing, and we could have it created.

Seems to me Simon, you're determined to bludgeon the pro-life out of CD even if to do it, you have to turn TRR forum into a mirror of the craziness that repeatedly burns NS General every 6 months or so.

You can take the tiger out of the NSG, but you can't take the NSG out of the tiger. Hmm. That sounded better in my head. Especially because it indirectly implies that I am a tiger... However, as Earth so thoughtfully pointed out, we should transfer the conversation elsewhere. And we have. Which makes this thread kind of obsolete.
