| Message | Abortions should be allowed, no matter what. Also, smoking should be left to local governments. We shall ponder this bill |
| Date | 21:25:59, November 28, 2007 CET | From | Jakanian Imperial Party | To | Debating the JIRP Bill: Health |
| Message | Ponder UDJ. This is a step towards those directions. |
| Date | 22:00:36, November 28, 2007 CET | From | Archo-Antitheist Agenda | To | Debating the JIRP Bill: Health |
| Message | We take issue with the following articles: 1. Abortion is a sensible post-preventative birth control method that should be available throughout the entire course of a pregnancy. 7. Local constituencies should be able to decide their own controls on tobacco use. 9. It is essential for maintaining a healthy nation and keeping our youth safe from harm that all children be vaccinated. |
| Date | 22:01:04, November 28, 2007 CET | From | United Democrats of Jakania | To | Debating the JIRP Bill: Health |
| Message | This is true. Far better than what is available. Besides the bulk of the party fails to see benefits in voting no on a generally good bill for just two articles |
| Date | 22:09:23, November 28, 2007 CET | From | Archo-Antitheist Agenda | To | Debating the JIRP Bill: Health |
