I still support the amendment that was just unanimously approved by the Assembly.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

As would I, and I'll sponsor Tmthforu's amendment.

It has already been voted on.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Can we get a final vote on it so that we can send it to the Governor's desk (if that's necessary)

I have proposed an amendment that still needs discussed and voted on.

I have proposed an amendment that still needs discussed and voted on.

In that case, can we please get a vote on Governor Tmthforu94's amendment?  I don't think there's been discussion for over 48 hours.

Okay, I'll generate discussion:

I'm interested in hearing arguments on why allowing abortion in the second semester is necessary. I tried doing some research on when most women find out that they're pregnant - some find out as early as four weeks, while the average seems to be around eight weeks. Should a woman decide to have an abortion, this would give women several weeks to still decide if she wants to have the abortion.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Sorry, guys!  (Don't do law school... it will destroy you.)

The following amendment is brought to a final vote.  Members will vote AYE, NAY, or ABSTAIN.  This will be a 24-hour vote.

I would love for my concerns to possibly be addressed before a final vote is brought about on my amendment.

It takes a while for a the person to be able to truly investigate alternatives and be able to make an informed decision that they will be able to live with.  Also, I'd argue that my amendment was a fair compromise between repealing the Mideast Abortion Statute II and existing regional law.  Also, let's not forget that my amendment already passed.

Based on the average, a woman would have four weeks to investigate alternatives under my amendment. How long do they need?

At least until the end of the second trimester.  Also, you referred to it as the second semester

Why do you think they need that long, though?

I'm in college - it's the end of the semester, so it's been in my mind a lot.
