| Message | We feel that the best way to protect the child's right to life, is in not dissociating it's rights with those of the mother with whom the child is fully dependant upon. Like a thought inside a mind, (and we wouldn't support the criminalisation of thought) the child is within the mother. For this reason we will require a system that does not repel undecided and unsure mothers underground, but that seeks to inform them of their options and invest them with the right of choice. |

| Message | We believe that a child, an actual human being is not a suitable comparison with a thought. We believe a child should not be punished for it's parents' mistake. |

| Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
