| Message | "If the people who have to pay for this measure, responsible Zardugalies who have a steady financial situation before they start a family actually want to help the small minority who've chosen to bring a child into this world without a proper income and have turned down their right to abortion throughout the entire pregnancy, they will do so. Private charity has proven far more effective in getting the money to those who need it without ridiculous red tape associated with public extortion of wealth for those who live incompetently." ~Wade Kravant, Shadow Minister of Health and Social Services for the Liberty Party |

| Message | "No child will grow up in poverty. Capitalism has lowered prices, raised quality, freed up business so they can provide more variety to those with tighter budgets, created countless jobs, and, through the vast increase of excess wealth, many private charities have sprung up to help those who fall through the cracks. Trying to regulate this would only create a welfare black market and waste tax payers dollars. Even if children were growing up in unacceptable conditions without any hope, why does it concern people who work to put food on the table for their family's? Why must we steal from them?" ~Wade Kravant |

| Message | "We don't want to steal anything. But we must accept, that even your praised unrestricted capitalism is not able to provide good conditions to all people. The NAM doesn't support the any fights between the people where only the well-situated people can survive in an acceptable way. It's the NAMs task to stand up for the weak and poor ones within our community. We are a big community where it is everybodys task to help those who hadn't same luck." ~ Carl Bennstöm, NAM social aspects spokesman |

| Message | "If the majority of people who work hard to feed their family want to help those who can't, they will do so, voluntary, through far more efficient private charity." ~Wade Kravant |
