| Message | Divorce itself is Un-Christian. Do NOT dare lie about your motives. Your party is NOT Christian. |
| Date | 23:53:33, May 25, 2007 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Divorce Law Reform Act |
| Message | The Defenders are also opposed to divorce, but realise that far from being "pro-divorce" this bill is simply addressing an inbalance in divorce legislation. |

| Message | We thank the gallant Defenders for their understanding on this issue, and want to emphasise that this proposal is about getting a fair deal for women, not about undermining marriage. To the contrary, we believe this proposal will strengthen the institution of marriage, since it has become discredited in the eyes of many Luthorians because of the inequality it fosters between men and women. Belinda Braithwaite (Leader of the LWCA) |
