I must vote AGAINST this measure. The Empire should not be here to micromanage its citizens’ lives. There are bigger things to be concerned about than who is fornicating with who.

I, too, vote against this measure.

I will, of course, take your words into careful consideration. I fear, however, that your opinion will still be outnumbered. I am sure though that there are plenty who will....take into account the integrity of our species. I will rest assured that you will be one of those people.

I just believe that it is not a feasible option to try and enforce such a ban. Would it not take too many resources from other more pressing matters that need attending?

By all means, love does not need to be shown with extreme degrees of physical nature.

I am saddened to see the aforementioned Senators voting against this. Perhaps they should take more pride in what they are. I vote in favor.

Rather than promoting fear of diseases and birth defects, shouldn't the government prize a more educational approach? It should teach people the risks, yes, but it should propose ways to prevent and cure them. Theoretically speaking, abstinence is be the best method of contraception, but let us be frank... It is also the most useless. One cannot stop a heart from loving or a ... ahem... from... well, you know...

As for those who might say that instructing the public would be costly... Funding this "Jedi hunt" and policing and enforcing such a ban would be just as costly and even more pointless. Obviously, some members of this Senate are detached from the common world beyond these walls. Look at it this way: you can either instruct or you can police every single beds of this galaxy... You'd have a better time domesticating a Nexu.

"Governor, I understand where you are coming from. The purity of our species must be maintained. However this measure would not do that and would have an adverse impact, whose implications would be far worse than simply ignoring the problem and focusing on the true issues which I will discuss shortly.

I have only a few points to make on the matter, questions mainly to the governor who I request would accept them as such and provide satisfactory answers to both myself and to this body as a whole. Each one I will touch on briefly before allowing you a chance to respond.

Firstly, how do you intend to enforce this new law? Do you plan to place a camera in the bed room of every sentient being in the galaxy and their speeders and ship and any other place where this supposed fornication was taking place? Also even if this law were passed there would likely be just a few reactions from those who are already partaking in this abherent behavior: either they will continue on in defiance of the empire leading to their arrest and detainment at tax payer dollars for mating, they will obey the laws and change their ways, they will protest and try through all legitimate channels to have it changed, or they will join with the rallying call of the resistences which already falsely claim the empire is biased against non-humans at which point they will have to be hunted down and exterminated by our brave men and women in white also at taxpayer expense. Do you really intend to try to enforce such a doctrine which can only truly cause problems in the future, and I might add one that would put you at odds with nearly every cantina owner in the galaxy because their patrons know they can no longer have a chance with the twi'lek dancers that their male patrons seemed to be so very 'fond' of.

Secondly, as I alluded to a moment ago we could be providing ammunition for the foolish enemies of the empire when we should be more focused on finding and setting them straight. So I propose to you why should we provide that ammunition to them? Instead I would propose focusing on them instead of trivial matters as who is screwing who. Honestly, governor I really don't want to know what is going on in the bed rooms of sentients across the galaxy. This MUST be our first priority not who is in bed with whom and what they are doing. If I am approved for full membership then the first thing I will propose is increased funding for CorSec. These insurgents must be found and eliminated and that should be our priority. This monnok who was reported in the Coruscant Journal just a few weeks ago should be at the top of the list for being found and eliminated.

Also, you mention the right of the infants, the unborn, and the children from such unions. While I agree with you to an extent that it is their right to grow up without the defects from those syndromes where I deviate from your position is the manner in which we go about correcting the issue. Medicine not politics would be my prefered method of dealing with them. Invest only a portion of the credits that it would cost to fund these measures into the seeking of a cure for these diseases and at worst a treatment. Or as the committee suggested use the credits for education and contraception.

The other Senators also bring up fair points about privacy and the right of sentients to love whom they choose and to, to put it in blunt terms, screw whoever they choose regardless of race, ideology, species, gender or any other restrictions either of us can come up with. It may offend our sensibilities Governor but I do not feel I am one to judge another based upon who they love. Do you governor? Do you feel it is your place in this galaxy to judge other sentient beings based solely on who they love and how they choose to express that love in the privacy of their own homes?

As I have alluded to before I feel there is one more question that should be posed to you governor that I hope will prove informative. How much will such a measure cost? Not just in resources but in lives. What in the end will be the true price tag for this measure and is it worth it so you can pretend to have peace of mind? How much will it cost the local systems to provide facilities for the new influx of 'criminals' or for the sterlization you proposed for repeat offenders? How much will the tax payers be asked to give for this measure? And finally are you completely sure that it is worth it? To know that a human isn't in a cantina somewhere messing around with a twi'lek dancer.

These are not the least of my concerns with this proposed ban, governor but nor are the all of them. However I believe that I have taken up enough of the Senate's time and since I can not as of yet vote, nor would I have until these questions have been answered and my concerns at least looked at. I won't rush to judgement like some as I don't believe your intentions are malicious governor but are what you feel is best for the empire and as such you should be given the chance to address these concerns and the concerns of the committee, but please governor consider some of these issues carefully as well as those who have cast their vote. Consider what does it mean to you truely that someone is involved with someone else?"

With that she would move to take a seat back wanting to listen to the response having yielded back the speaking rights to the representative who then yielded them on once again.
