| Message | I don't know that religion has been established. Much of the information on the wiki was slanted by the old Nationalist Party. It almost makes me want to spend some time to fix up the wiki, but I've been unable to generate enough constructive debate on ethnic/religious demographics. |

| Message | OOC: Hoping you don't mind intrusion in an internal matter - there were forum topics about the religions and ethnicities of nations a while back. I think there have been a few, historically. Might be worth a search through old forum pages. |

| Message | I do not think it is civilized to abort a baby a month before it is supossed to be poor. It is like killing a person. Also why should the goverment discount contraceptives? It does not make sence to me. |

| Message | we support this bill. I think six months is long enough to make a decision about an abortion, and theres no reason to subsidize contraceptives. |

| Message | but of course, this decision is not based on religious values. |
