| Message | THE OUTRAGE! |
| Date | not recorded | From | Socialist Party of Ikradon | To | Debating the Prostitution Act |
| Message | The Socialist Party strongly opposes this piece of legislature. We will never support legislature that encourages increased buying and selling of humans - something that should never be a part of a civilized society. Furthermore, we do definately not believe that the best way to combat a problem is to encourage it... |
| Date | not recorded | From | Democratic Socialist Party | To | Debating the Prostitution Act |
| Message | We believe that, as much as we would hope it to happend, protitution will never disappear from Ikradon or any other nation. Accepting this, we feel it is better to give the state ways to control prostitution better by this bill, rather than keep it illegal and without control. |
| Date | not recorded | From | Progressive Pragmatists | To | Debating the Prostitution Act |
| Message | Our party supports this bill but would rather have prostitutes given offical status. As for the Socialist parties comments, it is not the buying and selling of human beings but the buying and selling of services (in this case sex). When Prostitution is illegal prostitutes enjoy little protection from violence, the money made leaves the econemy and goes to the black market, and it being illegal and unofical makes it so theres no way by which the government can regulate it for the prevention of sexualy transmented disease (condems manditory, monthly SDT tests). Prostitution has been illegal for centuries and it has not goen away. Lets just do what is the lesser of evils... |

| Message | PEP would only favor measures that either banned or fully recognized this institution so as to be certain it is fully and carefully regulated. We will not accept this piecemeal legislation under any terms. |
| Date | not recorded | From | New Democratic Party | To | Debating the Prostitution Act |
| Message | The objections are noted and the bill has been changed accordingly. |
| Date | not recorded | From | Progressive Evolution Party | To | Debating the Prostitution Act |
| Message | Given the lack of appropriate regulation of the industy incorporated into this bill to demand and ensure the safety of sex workers, we vote NAY. Again, piecemeal legislation is entirely unacceptable. |
