| Message | Well, abortion is not a human right, but as it's the only thing we really oppose we'll give the bill a chance and correct our abortion position with a later bill. |
| Date | 06:58:35, January 16, 2008 CET | From | Free Democratic Party | To | Debating the For a Free New Endralon (2516) |
| Message | This bill goes too far- it lumps too many things together and is irresponsible and lazy. Our citizens deserve to have our laws seriously debated, not lumped together without proper debate. We fully support some of these proposals, but oppose other of these proposals, and are highly disappointed by this move towards unregulated libertarianism. This is a poorly planned bill. |
