Message | So, you wish to totally obliterate all religious rights, all personal choice and all ideological belief? How very right-wing of you. Sir Thomas Hill, New Conservative party Leader. |

Message | Can the WP please provide a solid reason why this is benneficial for the development of Solentian Morals and Ethics? |

Message | No, Sir Thomas, we don't want to "obliterate" religious rights; it is not us who intend to forbid religions from evangelising, nor to give government a veto power on organised religions internal decisions. We want to forbid parents from making ill decisions regarding their children's health. Vaccinations for adults remain optional. When you call us "right-wing", Sir Thomas, should we take that as an insult? |

Message | And, Sir Thomas, it is easy to explain how this is beneficial to the development of Solentian morals and ethics. Corpses do not evolve in their morals and ethics, Senator Hill. In order to improve their morals and ethics, Solentians need first of all to be alive, which is the intention of this bill. Elisabeth Barret Browning - Workers Party Senate Leader |
