| Message | Definitely a big step in the right direction. |
| Date | 18:09:31, August 28, 2007 CET | From | Feudal Socialist Revolutionary Party | To | Debating the Abortion Act |
| Message | We have concerns that this will not only forbid women from deciding what they can do with their own bodies, but also force them to bear the children of rape and incest and children who will never have any happiness in short lifespans, such as those with Tay-Sach's disease, which is 100% fatal by the age of 6 and terrible both for the child and the family. |
| Date | 20:14:14, August 28, 2007 CET | From | Christian Universalist Party | To | Debating the Abortion Act |
| Message | We share the concerns of the FSRP, and believe every support should be provided for these women and their families to get through their ideals. However, we take the line that the sanctity of life needs to be preserved. |

| 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. |
