The Great RWP Ballot

What if the RWP were an actual democracy and the members its citizen voters? What hot-button issues would be legalized? Look at the issues below then vote! An issue needs at least 50.5% of the vote to pass.

Abortion
To allow a woman to have complete control over her fertility and the choice to continue or terminate a pregnancy.

Affirmative Action
To promote access, benefits, or preferential treatment to disadvantaged racial minorities in education or employment.

Capital Punishment
To allow a maximum sentence of death for serious crimes.

Euthanasia
To allow the practice of ending a life through a painless manner in terminally ill patients.

Gay Marriage
To allow same-sex couples to marry and receive equal legal rights as straight married couples.

Gun Control
To restrict accessibility to firearms to law enforcers and licensed carriers only.

Intelligent Design
To allow creationism to be taught in biology or science classrooms.

Marijuana
To decriminalize marijuana so that it may be used for private and medical use.

Universal Healthcare
To provide everyone access to all medical services with little or no cost to the patient. Healthcare will be government regulated and taxes may rise sharply, if approved.

Intelligent Design
No. Thats like trying to teach evolution in Church
Marijuana
medical use...maybe. still, it could get them addicted for when their pain is over. I believe strongly that it should be illegal for casual purposes
Universal Healthcare

Universal Healthcare I'm a little iffy on because I don't really know..how it could be implemented.

May have gone for capital punishment but I haven't put any thought into that like...ever.

Gay marriage and gun control, the UK seems to operate fine with our gun control laws and see my posts in the gay marriage for my views on that

Quote:
Affirmative Action
Sure, if we want to make this world equalized, we have to start by letting people left out before catching up. Not to much of positive discrimination, no, cause that would turn out to negative discrimination for the other party in the end. But if we can boost people's rights that deserve it, why not?

Quote:
Capital Punishment
No, everyone who does something wrong must be punished, but to end one's life is immoral. We are not god, we can't judge to take ones life or not, the only ones who may are god and the person himself. (Read below)


Quote:
Euthanasia
Yes, if there is 0 chance on surviving, it only proves to be hell for that person unless that person him/herself says otherwise. If he or she wants to end it painless rather than suffering, then decline that person's last wish?

Quote:
Gay Marriage
Hell yeah, Everyone deserves the same rights, White or dark, male of female. As do gays. Taking away this is just taking away one part of them that confirms they're still human.

Quote:
Gun Control
YES! Well, the gun situation has gotten out of hands often enough, it should have never even be allowed to easily access guns.

Quote:
Intelligent Design
Why not? Creationism... Well, as long as people still learn what they have to learn, it would never harm spending a couple of lessons a month spending on creationism.

Quote:
Marijuana
Sure, HOWEVER I'd only legalize it for people above 17 years, it has been proven that from the 15th year people start realizing what they're doing much and much better, giving another 3 years time for that realization to fulfill is only fair. By that time they are old enough to realize the consequences it can have, so if they get into **** with this, they know it's their own fault.

Quote:
Universal Healthcare
Yeah, or do you rather be left dying in a hospital bed because you just ain't gotten any money around at the moment you lie in the hospital? The hospital is for people to get better, regardless of who they are, criminal, black, gay, or whatever. Hospitals are meant for them all to be equal and to help them.

Don't hate me, but I honestly don't want to vote for any of those.

Yet, I cannot vote no on them all, as it requires one option at minimum to be picked. D:

For those who want Creationism in public schools:

How would you like it if I came to your church and started teaching evolution?
