2. Be Senator
3. Be President
4. Defeat China
5. Defeat political enemies

The Right to Life Amendment
The following shall be added to Article VI of the Constitution as Clause 16:

16. No Atlasian person may be deprived of their right to life under the uses of abortion, euthanasia, or capital punishment.

A. The practices of abortion, euthanasia, and capital punishment will be completely outlawed by the Government of Atlasia.

B. The definitions of the terms in Clause B are as follows:
Abortion:  The termination of pregnancy and expulsion of an embryo or of a fetus that is incapable of survival.
Euthanasia:  The act or practice of ending the life of an individual suffering from a illness or an incurable condition, as by lethal injection or the suspension of extraordinary medical treatment, also referred to in this law as "assisted suicide."
Capital Punishment:  The penalty of death for the commission of a crime.

C.  Any person who violates this law by administering an abortion or an assisted suicide shall be sentenced to twenty-five years in prison; if the law is violated a second time they shall be sentenced to life inprisonment without the possibility of parole.

D.  Any regional government that continues to execute convicted criminals following the ratification of this law shall have all federal funding for roads and highways rebuked.

E.  All criminals currently sentenced to death in Atlasia are commuted to life inprisonment without the possibility of parole following the ratification of this amendment.

F.  This law will be administered by the Office of the Attorney General.

G.  This law will take effect upon its ratification by the regions.

I hereby open debate on this proposed Amendment. And do play nice...

Please don't ratify a bill outlawing abortion.
