'''A Union for Conservatism''', also referred to as '''A Union for Conservatives''', '''The Union''', or '''AUfC''', is a major political party in the [[Pharexia|Democratic States of Pharexia]]. It is the oldest of all established parties, dating back even before the formal foundation of Pharexia. The party self identifies as right-wing, and holds many economic and social politics that align with standard conservative and [[Trúathi]] principles. It advocates for a strong military, religious expression, ethical morality, and a free market economy. It is currently the largest party in the [[Pharexian Legislature]] and therefore leads the government coalition.
 
==History==
 
==Political Positions==
===Economics===
Conservatives believe free markets and individual achievement are the primary factors behind economic prosperity. They advocate the reduction of state-run welfare programs in favor of private sector nonprofits and encouraging personal responsibility. The AUfC advocates the theory of supply side economics, which holds that lower tax rates increase economic growth. Most oppose higher tax rates for higher earners, which they believe are unfairly targeted at those who create jobs and wealth. They believe private spending is more efficient than government spending. They also believe the private sector is more effective in helping the poor through charity than government is through welfare programs, and that social assistance programs often cause government dependency. Most agree there should be some "safety net" to assist the less fortunate, but significantly limiting it as to encourage employment and reduce abuse. They have generally been opposed by labor union organizations and members. Each Pharexian ward has devolved "right-to-work" laws that have been used by some to weaken unions. The party opposes increasing in the minimum wage, and supports allowing each ward to decide.
===Wards' Rights===
Ideologically, AUfC typically supports a smaller federal government. Historically, this translated into keeping power in the hands of ward legislatures, as in the cases of civil rights, regulations on marriage, and mapping of voting districts. However, in recent years, the party has introduced federal legislation to override state laws with respect to abortion, marijuana, and physician-assisted suicide.
===Social Policies===
AUfC is strongly associated with social conservative policies. They advocate for laws that uphold Trúathi values, such as opposition to same-sex marriage, abortion, and marijuana. Most conservatives also oppose gun control and affirmative action.
====Abortion====
Currently, all of the party's national and state candidates are pro-life and oppose abortion on religious or moral grounds. However, several hold exceptions in the case of the mother's life being at risk. When the [[Síðari]] voted on the [[Right to Life Act of 2019 (Pharexia)|Right to Life Act]] in 2019, all 211 Conservative parliamentarians supported it.
 
Although Republicans have voted for increases in government funding of scientific research, most members actively oppose the federal funding of embryonic stem cell research beyond the original lines because it involves the destruction of human embryos, while arguing for applying research money into adult stem cell or amniotic stem cell research.
 
The text of the 2015 party manifesto specifically stated that "the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed." It also referenced the stance of the Trúathi Church, which explicitly opposes abortion in most circumstances. The manifesto spoke also about the party's opposition using public revenues to promote abortions, to perform them, or to fund organizations that do either such things.
