I have never wrote a proposal before and am looking for help writing my proposal and any imput on my idea.

After viewing UNITED NATIONS RESOLUTION #61: Abortion Rights, I have noticed that it does not make clear weather "women" refers to gender or to an adult member of the female gender. I fear that if being understood to be any one of the female gender as opposed to an adult female that parents cannot stop their children from aborting the child they carry. I would like to repeal this resolution so that we can then have a proposal voting on abortion rights. Weather or not minors can have an abortion with or with out parental permission. Now I am aware that there are strong views on both sides. Some say that every female can have an abortion because it is her body and some that say that they are too young to make the choice themselves and would like parents to be able to choose. I have decided to make this after the heartbreaking story of a mother being arrested attempting to see her daughter who was in the abortion clinic. The mother was powerless to even speak with her daughter about it. I am not looking to have the arguement here, I am only looking for help to write a proposal that can give us a chance to rewrite abortion rights so that we the looseness of the resolution can be fixed.

Now I am lost in how to word my proposal & what category it should go under.

Please post with advise or imput. Also, if there is any nation who has done this before and would like to take my idea please telegram my nation, Mothy. I don't have much free time and it would be great if another was interested.

Thank you.

Before I give you some suggestions, I have a different heartbreaking story to tell you.

One of my "friends" comes from an extraordinarily religious family. Her younger sister is the party type. As far as her parents are concerned, she (the sister) is also religious, but in reality, she believes in spirituality and God, but not the religion. She ended up getting pregnant, and had an abortion. She didn't ask her parents, she didn't tell her parents, she knew what the consequences would be if she told them: disowned from the family.

Now, you tell me, should her parents have had a say in whether this abortion was to happen?

Repeal "Abortion Rights"
Category: Repeal
Resolution: 59

UN Members:

Recalling resolution 59

ACKNOWLEDGING the divisive arguments and beliefs surrounding the topic of abortion

NOTING the belief that no woman should have her right to choose be infringed upon

BELIEVING minors are incapable of making such a decision of whether to abort a pregnancy or not

BELIEVING that parents should have a right to decide in these cases

NOTING that this exception is not made within the wording of Resolution 59: Abortion Rights

Repeals Resolution 59.

======================

Something to that extent. Edit it, because I do not give you permission to use this version. I don't support it.

I wish to not have a position on this argument. I only want a proposal that will recall the current resolution so we can make a new one that is not as open to subjection. As I said, I wish not to debate the issue here, and would be greatful if you respected my request.

The Socialist Republic supports a repeal of the Abortion Rights resolution, but only on grounds of unnecessary sovereignty violations, not morality. In the opinion of this government, Abortion is a controversial topic that deserves consideration and decision by individual nations, each which may have different moral or religious orientations or influencing cultural factors. We do not think it is appropriate for the United Nations to issue a mandate on the matter.

You can't make a resolution without stating an opinion. If you don't get the arguments here, you'll get them on the campaign trail. I can guarantee it.

No one is going to repeal a resolution just because you want to address it again. They will repeal it if you bring a different position to their attention - which you somewhat have and I have brought the opposite position to the same issue. I won't debate it further as you didn't continue the debate, but you will need to debate it....eventually.

My suggestion will work as excellent framework for your proposal. I recommend you change the style and wording to suit your own personal manner of writing, but it covers the arguments you have suggested here. Any less than what I wrote will be an unworkable resolution.

The good people of Discordinia, as noted in previous threads, are opposed to ageism in all its forms. We respect your concern, but are likewise concerned about how you would define "adult" or "child" ... and believe that such definitions are best left to the discretion of individual nations.

Further, the good people of Discordinia do not believe the issue of any person's right to an abortion needs to be re-debated.

If your nation wishes to restrict abortion rights for your young, or wishes to give parents statutory rights to the unborn children of their children, so be it.

In any case, the good people of Discordinia would not support this resolution, and would urge our regional delegate not to support this proposal.

After the story of a family disownign there daughter if she told my ideas are moved, there for we of SDOMEERF have mot made a choice were to stand but it will be to allow abortion, just the parent part is still unknow!

Our beloved and much revered leader's parents once told him that if he ever got a tattoo they would disown him.

Our beloved and much revered leader has three most excellent tattoos, and he maintains a healthy relationship with his parents and family, who have not disowned him.

Forgottenlands......whether they should have a say or not would be immaterial if the slut had kept her legs closed now wouldn't it?

If either the Forgottenlanders or the Nalaraiders are in need of chastity belts, I am sure that at least some of the plants devoted to our burgeoning weapons manufacturing industry could be re-tooled for production of such devices, at which point we would be happy to begin trade negotiations.

The people of the Sultanate of Cluichstan concur wholeheartedly with the position expressed by our friends in the Socialist Republic of Xanthal. Matters such as this are not within the jurisdiction of the UN.

You say that as if it were an abnormal or immoral thing for someone in her late teens to be having sex. Who are you to pass judgement on morality? And it is far from abnormal.

Hirota feels that the resolution should be repealled, but only to introduce legislation to prevent late abortions.

After viewing UNITED NATIONS RESOLUTION #61: Abortion Rights, I have noticed that it does not make clear weather "women" refers to gender or to an adult member of the female gender.

It reffers to whatever the law and society define it as.

Within the realm of Law in the CRoT, "woman" is a term in refference to an an adult (that is, one who has reached the point of self-accountability by the standards of society, typically for humans 18; though amongst the Tekaniou 26) female of a cognizant species.

Ambiguity is not a bad thing, ambiguity is what allows governments to fill in the gaps of their own law.
