| Message | This one may be a minority view, but it will establish the Catholic Workers policy on this issue. Capital punishment has been left as a separate bill. |

| Message | We strongly oppose this bill, and feel that we should uphold the careful compromise reached in the Regulated Prostitution For A Healthier Beluzia Act. We also oppose changing Beluzia's effective euthanasia laws. |

| Message | No, bill won't pass. Sometimes however it is necessary to go on the record on matters of principle. This is one of those times. (Sorry, but i want to establish the religious voting record profile, like SLP did for economic policy.) |
