| Message | We also feel that pregnant women should have the ability to choose how they lead their life at all points. In the third trimester of pregnancy though the foetus is as close to a human as it can during the pregnancy and an abortion at that stage could be considered murder. |

| Message | If put in different bills some of this articles can be approved. Let us say what we think about them. Article 1: Abortion should be allowed only in the first semester after that there's no difference between an abortion and a murder. 3 months is enough time to abort a child specially when the government helps the population with the medical expenses. Article 2: We think this article is a improvement about interpersonal relationships. It would prevent people from writing or saying anything without any evidence. Article 3: The age for adulthood should not change. 18 is a age where the teens are beginning to think about work studies and how to start to live their life. We don't think an alteration is needed right now. Article 4: We think that if this article can bring more employment and money to the people why not approve it? As I said before if put in different bills some of this articles can be approved, but we will have to vote against this bill if it goes to vote the way it is now. |

| Message | We believe that you have provided a valid point for clause 1 but that at 17 more responsibility at an earlier age could do the world of good for many teenagers. And if it doesn't work out that way the ruling bodies can feel free to change it positively. |

| Message | The DLUP opposes this bill, as we feel that clause 1 violates free speech, and for clause 3... well our union members would like to continue to retire at 62. OOC: I like the increase in debate rp... keep it up. |
| Date | 13:43:20, August 16, 2007 CET | From | Supreme Party of the Republic | To | Debating the Revised civil liberties |
| Message | I don't think that the clause 1 violates the free speech it will only make defamatory and falsehoods subject to the normal legal proceeding. |
