| Message | We do not like article 2. Yet we would hapily back article 1 by itself. |
| Date | 04:32:04, January 08, 2008 CET | From | Revolutionary State Socialist Party | To | Debating the Limiting Abortion while Giving Families Support to have children |
| Message | We suggest to the PSFVP that we support this on the grounds that abortion is a more important issue then pre-school. |

| Message | We bow to the USMC's superiour reasoning. Thats right CSP, REASONING can get what you want. |

| Message | We feel NPP will vote no on this, due to the national standard. NPP would u support article 1 by itself? |

| Message | The day care initiative is involved in this to reduce the incentive for abortion, the bottom line, which influences many abortion decisions. |
| Date | 06:41:18, January 08, 2008 CET | From | Sekowan Communist Party | To | Debating the Limiting Abortion while Giving Families Support to have children |
| Message | We feel compelled to agree with this. By the third trimester, a woman has had plenty of time to decide whether to keep the baby. |
| Date | 07:48:02, January 08, 2008 CET | From | 帝国公明党 (Teikoku Kōmeitō) | To | Debating the Limiting Abortion while Giving Families Support to have children |
| Message | No. The government has no place interfering with a womans right to choose. Currently we are looking to see if Pre-school being left to local government is useful, so passing this would also ruin our study on the subject. |
| Date | 09:35:37, January 08, 2008 CET | From | Normand Pluralist Party | To | Debating the Limiting Abortion while Giving Families Support to have children |
| Message | We might support the abortion article by itself, but we've stated elsewhere the importance of having local governments determine their own educational policies. We hope that the HDLP will join us in voting this bill down. |
| Date | 09:51:45, January 08, 2008 CET | From | 帝国公明党 (Teikoku Kōmeitō) | To | Debating the Limiting Abortion while Giving Families Support to have children |
| Message | If HDLP votes No on this, ti will be the first time that the DSP, HDLP and NPP all voted the same way without other parties. A definite record. |
| Date | 17:43:03, January 08, 2008 CET | From | Saiken Renmei | To | Debating the Limiting Abortion while Giving Families Support to have children |
| Message | We have always (and sometimes radically) supported devolutionism, therefore we cannot agree to strip the local governments of another of their powers. We would agree to article 1, though, if it were a sepparate bill. |
| Date | 08:11:28, January 09, 2008 CET | From | Communist Party of Sekowo | To | Debating the Limiting Abortion while Giving Families Support to have children |
| Message | The local government would still manage the centers. This bill only guarentees that the Centers will be free and available to the public provided by the federal governments. This a universal policy that will insure poor regions will still have the same access to these centers as the rich ones. |

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
