| Message | In a press release Prime Minister Raxney speaks against this legislation. "It is against the family values that Telamon holds dear to allow one human to murder another. I find it hard to believe that the members of the Regional Acronym Political Establishment party can support the slaughter of human life. I call on all people who value life to join me, and the Conservative Adeptus Mechanicus party, in opposing this legislation. The members of the Regional Acronym Political Establishment party are good people but clearly misguided on this issue." |

| Message | We are firmly in support of decriminalising abortion, though we beleive that abortion in the second trimester is unnecessary and should only be allowed for the first. Also, we believe that contraceptives should remain cheap for the Telamonian public. However, we support. |

| Message | Abortion is hardly murder. It is a simple procedure in which a coat hanger is used to pierce the undeveloped skull of a fetus and scramble its brains after which it is sucked out with a vacuum. The remains may be used to produce animal feed or molded into a candle, which is good for industry. This legislation should provide a significant boost to the economy. |
