I agree with Antikarma.

I don't see them as tabling this as it is. It would never get the majority it needs to pass. That said, if they remove some of the more odious bits (like permitting a Justice of the Peace to turn down the request) it might squeak through.

I see this more as a sop to toss to their socially conservative allies so they can hold their heads up and say, "we tried, it was the heathens in opposition that stopped us."
