| Message | How is article 1 gender discrimination? If men could have abortions they'd be forbidden from having them also. Positive discrimination is still discrimination, so article 2 is only worsening discrimination and bias. |

| Message | Opposed to all articles |

| Message | Abortion is indirect discrimination against women, because they are deprived of their right to bodily integrity and autonomy purely because of their bodily functions. Positive discrimination is a temporary measure, and has been proven to effectively combat discrimination in schools and the workplace. CCP, how can you call yourself a Communist Party? Communists are for equality, human rights and the emancipation of women. You are clearly not a communist. |

| Message | It is you who are not the true communists. "Marxism" is a lie spread by non-believers to force the people of the path of the lord. The true principles of communism lie in the bible, not in any so called "communist manifesto" or other heretical documents. |
