Region of Right to Life

OVERVIEW OF RIGHT TO LIFE

Established on June 1, 2011, Right to Life is the premier region for the pro-life movement on NationStates. Right to Life is a community of nations that recognizes and promotes defense of the unalienable rights of the unborn. The nations of the region, believing in the equal dignity of prenatal life, oppose induced abortion in all or most cases. Members of Right to Life come from a wide spectrum of national, political, and religious (and nonreligious) backgrounds. Anyone pro-life is welcome in the region.

Regional law permits individual region members to tolerate abortion access in certain rare cases: maternal life, maternal health, rape, incest, and serious fetal abnormalities. Together, these cases constitute about one-tenth of abortion procedures. Nine in ten abortions are performed for social or economic reasons. In the world, there are more than 40 million abortions per year. On other issues of human life, such as capital punishment and assisted suicide, region members are free to form and adhere to their own personal opinions.

Nations that join our community are strongly encouraged to:

Right to Life is one of the largest regions on NationStates. It reached a record population of 193 nations on May 28, 2017.

Right to Life is currently making changes to the structure and organization of its regional government. Therefore, the information below this box may be incorrect, incomplete, or outdated. The information below will be updated as soon as Right to Life has finished reforming its regional government. In the meantime, please ask any questions you may have on Right to Life's regional message board.

GOVERNMENT OF RIGHT TO LIFE

Right to Life adopted its third constitution on February 25, 2018. The constitution specifies the requirements for citizenship, it sets forth the foundational principles of the region, it enumerates the rights of citizens, and it establishes a regional government with four branches: a bicameral legislative branch, an executive branch, an administrative branch, and a judicial branch.

  • Legislative Branch | Congress

  • Executive Branch | Presidential Cabinet

  • Administrative Branch | Regional Administration

  • Judicial Branch | High Court

      Chief Justice: vacant
      Associate Justice: vacant
      Associate Justice: vacant

The terms of office are three months for the Senate, three months for the President, and nine months for the High Court.

RIGHT TO LIFE ARMY

The armed forces are known as the Right to Life Army (RTLA). Established in December 2011, the RTLA is a neutral or independent NationStates military that participates in defensive and offensive operations. Membership is completely voluntary. The RTLA has seen ups and downs over the years. Since 2018, it has been controlled by the executive branch. Before that, it was controlled by the administrative branch. If you're interested in joining the RTLA, become a citizen first. Then, contact the President or the Minister of the Army.

  • Orientation: Neutral or independent

  • Successful Missions: 61

  • Last Mission: April 25, 2020

ASSOCIATIONS OF RIGHT TO LIFE

Right to Life's constitution declares that citizens have "the right to associate and assemble for peaceful purposes." Promoting this right, the regional government has established criteria for the recognition of political parties and civic organizations of sufficient size and activity.

Registered political parties in Right to Life include:

  • The Christian Democratic Party (CDP) is led by The Catholic State of Eire. It was originally founded on January 11, 2013, as the Progressive Party. It promotes Christian Democracy and a consistent life ethic, and it draws heavily on Catholic social teaching. CDP members generally identify with the center-left in regional politics.

  • The Conservative Federalist Party (CFP) is led by Aawia. It was founded on November 22, 2012, and it is the oldest political party in Right to Life. In regional politics, it promotes conservatism and secularism, or religious neutrality. It is neutral in the General Assembly and the Security Council, and it supports a pro-invader stance in military gameplay.

There is one registered civic organization:

  • The Thomas Aquinas Society (TAS) is led by Horatius Cocles. Founded on August 20, 2015, it is the region's oldest registered civic organization. It promotes fellowship among the Catholic residents of Right to Life.

Political parties and civic organizations may be registered on the regional forums. Preserving public order, the regional government reserves the authority to deny recognition to any association whose aims are illegal or grossly offensive (e.g., advocating racism). Citizens whose applications are rejected may appeal to the High Court if they believe they've been treated arbitrarily or unfairly.
