Erington, W.V. --
A recently passed bill, (known as the Unprepared Parenthood Act,) has caused controversy. The bill allows for women, (and men), to drop off unwanted children at hospitals or the Social Protections Departments in local counties.
The bill came under fire only two weeks after the changes were implemented. Many social workers, economists, adoption agencies, and even parents have requested a repeal of the legislation. Already almost one million people have signed an online petition requesting a change to the bill or to repeal it.
The President, Kathy Ashe (Geothium-SDP), told reporters that she would do her best to convince the leaders of both houses to bring the bill back up by the following Wednesday. The majority leaders of both houses made no comment, but the minority leader of the Conservative Democrats Party stated: "This is ridiculous! I can't stand this crazy government plan! The bills will cost too much!
April Birmington, a local social worker, comments: "I've had five children, all ranged from babies to seventeen years old, just dropped off on the side of the curb outside the department building last week. How can parents just leave their children like this? How can the government support such a move? Has anyone ever had to explain to a child, who's only seven years old, that her or his parents will never come back? It's heartbreaking!
A national economist, Todd Pains, also commented saying, "this county is in the debt up to it's head, the welfare budget is already too high and this bill will make it so much worse. This bill, in a time that needs massive spending cuts, will make welfare payment even higher!"
Today, though, lawmakers are busy arguing over a proposed Space Department bill that would add a space program to our country. Neither party has universal agreement-- with almost all parties being split in the middle.
In other headlines, the election races are becoming more heated as we move closer to election day on September the 1st. Kathy Ashe has already been airing ads promoting her candidacy, as has the Green Party's candidate John Willow; however, both sides will have to face a plan on how to deal with the increasing budget deficit for voters to consider them.
