[jokerman]

I approve of this bill.  This has my vote.

[MasterJedi]

I also approve of this, I will vote for it.

[12th Doctor]

I strongly approve of this bill.

[Sam Spade]

Considering 24 hours has passed without any debate on this bill (or like there was ever any debate in the first place), I would like to motion to bring this thing to a vote.

I would like to second that.

[Peter]

I call the vote on this bill to order,

All Senators please vote Aye/Nay/Abstain.

[MasterJedi]

Aye

[DanielX]

Aye.

[Akno21]

It's not as if this is any huge sum of money. 34 million dollars won't do much in terms of deficit cutting. Being the world's superpower, we have a responsibility to provide the services section A entails.

At least do not eliminate this under the false facade of deficit cutting, it is clearly a pro-life measure.

[PBrunsel]

Aye

[King]

Aye²...

I'm not against abortion and contraceptives or anything like that, I just don't like the wording and spending requirements of this bill.

[MAS117]

Abstain

[Sam Spade]

Aye.

Why exactly do we have the "responsibility" to use American tax dollars to kill babies overseas?

[Gabu]

Apparently, I'm now the most liberal member in government.

After reading up on what the UNFPA does, and given that I personally like section (b) of the bill, I must vote...

Nay.

[jokerman]

aye

[PBrunsel]

Aye

[opebo]

Good lord what a right wing bunch.

These babies will probably starve..  or possibly become prostitutes.

[King]

or possibly become prostitutes.

Then why are you complaining?

[The Dowager Mod]

And the effort to turn Atlasia into south carolina continues.

[opebo]

or possibly become prostitutes.

Then why are you complaining?

I'm not.  Just making sure the theocrats know the results of their actions.  Though I'm sure the same ones will do their utmost to bar these poors they've created from this lucrative line of work.  ('To the sweatshops, you little bastards!')

[Gabu]

Don't blame me; I voted against it.

[King]

('To the sweatshops, you little bastards!')

Sadly, they are going to the sweatshops anyway...

[opebo]

('To the sweatshops, you little bastards!')

Sadly, they are going to the sweatshops anyway...

Hmm.. in the career I envision, the room is airconditioned.. and the pay is about as much in an hour as one would earn in two days at the factory.  Quite preferrable.
