| Message | This first section of our programme, shall focus on Health Issues, and shall hope to develop our understanding of what is acceptable to permit, in the name of democracy. Currently, on average, well over 100 abortions occur each day. That is 100 potential citizens and Solentian slaughtered each day with the consent and permission of this government. Now, we do not, by any means wish to take away human rights, the right to choice is essential. However, we DO see a need to prioritise those rights, and we feel that the right to live, is more important than the right to kill in the name of compassion. We want to see a fair system be implimented, allowing only those ABSOLUTLY neccassary cases to be those, which see abortion occur. Those that are NOT 100% essential, should not be carried out. Let us make this bill possbible, let us agree that whilst Abortion is controversial, life is not. -Sir Thomas Hill, Supreme President. |

| Message | There are some potential lives that would be unhelpful to the state; the weak, the mutated, children of rape and foreign parentage. With that in mind we support a woman's and state's official's choices to abort pregnancies. We will be voting on on this issue. Sen. Bloch |
