Conservatives believe in a small government, not no government. Most of the time conservatives will reject anything that gives the government more power. However, that are a few things where some conservatives will be calling for government action.

Gen IV was also known to be the most difficult of all the Pokemon games.
I'll get the roster update as soon as I find my 3DS.
Anyways, it really sucks losing Princess. I was going to use her against Flint once I got to the Elite Four. Definitely the most important loss so far.

Simple. Fascism is an authoritarian ideology. Right wing ideologies believe in little to no government.

Here's my specific rule set:
1. If a Pokemon faints, it's considered dead.
2. One Pokemon per area- one chance to catch that Pokemon.
a. Species Family Clause- I may exit encounters until I find a Pokemon from an evolutionary family that I have not caught a Pokemon from yet if I choose to do so. Example: If I catch a Bidoof, all future Bidoof and Bibarel I find upon my first new route encounter may be passed over if I want to refrain from catching them.
b. Shiny Clause- I may catch any shiny Pokemon I find.
c. Legendary Clause- I may catch any Pokemon that are encounted outside of normal means. Example: The Red Gyrados in Pokemon Gold and Silver Versions.
3. If I lose a battle, it's game over.

@Polytheist-Witch
I've never seen anything race-based out of him. I've seen the following logic out of him:
- X place has a lot of poverty and stuff.
- We should make it part of America to help them.
- We will conquer other continents if we have to.
Notice the difference between his suggestion to take over Africa and his suggestion to get rid of Native American Reservations. HIs suggestion to remove Reservations doesn't include Step 3, whereas his suggestion to take over Africa includes Step 3. It is Step 3 I have a problem with because of the consequences of Step 3: The Africans would be forced to join America.

@Greyparrot
Removing the reservations doesn't mean forcing them to give up their culture. Neither does the movement of businesses into the region. If they want to do whatever it is they do as a tribe, they can do it.

You seem to think that any law made would follow in the footsteps of other laws. That is not the case. All it means is that if she was unknowing of her pregnancy, she would be innocent. That's the law I would write up.

1. Citizenship shall not be given until birth, legal protection is to be given from conception. If a woman did not know she was pregnant and drank, she would not be in violation of the law.
2. My point is that sperm and eggs are not beings. None of what you said changes my point.

I can get on board with making it illegal for pregnant women to drink.
Every single cell in the human body has a full genome. Except for egg and sperm. Each contributes half of the genetic code.

It has everything to do with the morality of abortion. (IFF) "life begins at conception" (THEN) make it official.
Fair enough. You wouldn't need a certificate for that though.
So, the question isn't so much "is an embryo alive" but rather, "is an embryo an independent organism".
Specifically, is it part of another organism? And also, does it have a complete genome?
It can only be considered an independent organism of the answer is a no to the first question and a yes to the second.

@3RU7AL
It follows quite logically from "life begins at conception" - make it official.
It was a red herring because it has nothing to do with the morality of abortion. Especially the first paragraph.
If it can die, then it can be alive. What exactly are you trying to say, a sperm is some sort of tiny machine?
It may be alive, but it isn't an independent being; it is merely part of a larger organism.

It depends on the tone. The tone I typed it in was not whining. The tone I typed was rational. I'm done defending my honor to you. No offense, but it has begun to distract from the topic, which I'll admit was partially my fault.

Bingo. Social conservatives absolutely love to hide behind "the law" when something unpleasant "has to be done" that they agree with, like separating children from their parents and deporting people into war zones. Eh, I guess there's nothing we can do since you know, "it's the law"...Now you just need to force everyone who misses a period to get a "conception certificate". Problem solved 4 evar.
Oh wow, a red herring.
If you can tell the difference between a living sperm and a dead sperm, then the sperm that is not dead is de facto alive.
Being alive does not make it "life" It is not a complete organism. It does not have a complete genome, it has a partial genome. Even prokaryotes have a complete set of DNA.

As is the current law. Just because the law is like that doesn't mean the issue should be like that. The current abortion laws are immoral.
Also, sperm cells are not life, they don't have a complete genome. It is when the sperm joins the egg that it becomes life.
