A thunderous knocking on the table almost blew off the roof as the delegate of Russia delivered his anti-controversial position around the topic of abortion. He repeatedly explained the idea of respecting individual countries’ sovereignty. His passionate voice was drowned out by a storm of cheering and clapping.
The overwhelming support of Russia in the committee was cut short as the opposition bloc’s leader walked onstage and delivered a fiery speech that contradicted the ideas of the majority. The speech littered with only a few claps and the occasional knocking on the table. She was proposing the unpopular resolution of enforcing and allowing all countries to have access to abortion services. A questionable stance as some countries enforces specific regulations that specifically ban women’s reproductive services.
“Religion should not stop access to healthcare, we’re not forcing people to have abortions, we’re just letting them know that they have this option.”
With a radical liberal point of view presented in the moderated caucus. There is bound to be another counter push from the extremist countries.
“We support the rights of unborn children; we cannot allow them to be punished for their parent’s actions. Abortions should only be provided when the baby or the mother’s lives are in danger.” Explains Indonesia.
The liberals were brought back to earth with a realistic speech from Iran, quoting, “We simply cannot just give up our religion. Habits are hard to break.”
Throughout the screaming and thunderous applause from different delegations. The neutral position was gradually gaining power. Soon, they began to drown out the dissenters. Further negotiations are needed for the neutral party to effectively pass a resolution.
