| Message | No, maybe, no. So no. |
| Date | not recorded | From | Kellarly Party | To | Debating the Women's rights bill |
| Message | I can't agree to the first one. The second I agree with and the 3rd one, i think that the SSKC stance shall be the one I support. |
| Date | not recorded | From | First Socialist Party | To | Debating the Women's rights bill |
| Message | The first one is a major point, and easy to argue. If you can't decide to abort the baby in the first trimester, then you should keep it. |
| Date | not recorded | From | Communist Party | To | Debating the Women's rights bill |
| Message | Some women don't even know they're pregnant until the 2nd trimester ... but at any rate, given the support expressed here, would the Socialist Party consider amending the Contraception Bill along the lines of proposal 2 here? |
| Date | not recorded | From | First Socialist Party | To | Debating the Women's rights bill |
| Message | That is something that we should all have to discuss... we are not convinced it is the best proposal. |
| Date | not recorded | From | Christian Liberal Party | To | Debating the Women's rights bill |
| Message | Proposal One is a definite 'no', everyone knows my feelings on Proposal Two and I think I would have to say 'no' to Proposal Three as well. |

| Message | Second trimester...in toilets???!...agree with third. Why all under women's rights though. Male prostitutes exist. |
| Date | not recorded | From | Communist Party | To | Debating the Women's rights bill |
| Message | Male prostitutes are a small minority though ... could a bill for 2nd-trimester abortion access get passed? |

| Message | No. |
| Date | not recorded | From | Communist Party | To | Debating the Women's rights bill |
