Debate: Northeast Capital Punishment Abolishment Act

[Hatman 🍁]

WHEREAS in any decent civil and humane society, the act of the state killing individuals for any reason is not only frowned upon, but condemned and
WHEREAS the Northeast is a decent civil and humane society that believes that the state should not kill its people and
WHEREAS the Northeast feels life in prison without parole is a more appropraite punishment for murderers,

BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

1) No authority of the Government of the Northeast shall willingly kill a person, except in times of emergency, or without consent of the person.
2) Prisonors may not consent to death, unless some condition deems it necessary in accordance with the Northeast Euthanasia Proposition. The stat shall not pay to euthanize its prisonors.
3) In states in the Northeast region where capital punishment is a legal punishment, capital punishment shall be replaced with life in prison without the possibility of parole.
4) All Northeast citizens currently sentenced to death anywhere in the region shall be commuted to life in prison without the possibility of parole upon the passage of this act.

I move to postpone the question on passage indefinitely.

May I ask why?

By the way, I have changed section one.

[Hatman 🍁]

Well, you're free to oppose this act of course. However, if there is a part of the act that anyone has a problem with, please feel free to request it be amended, keeping it mind it should not change the purpose of the act.

[Hatman 🍁]

I amended it once again.

[Hatman 🍁]

Amended once again.

Point of information...

Is the sponsor allowed to amend his submission at will?

You're the judge
