Message | I agree with all articles, except for Article 1. |
Date | 03:13:24, March 27, 2008 CET | From | Donner Party | To | Debating the United Democrats of Hulstria Bill Number 2 |
Message | The Donner Party disagrees with 1, 2, and 5. |
Date | 03:56:53, March 27, 2008 CET | From | People's Radical Party | To | Debating the United Democrats of Hulstria Bill Number 2 |
Message | We simply cannot support the legalisation of abortion throughout the course of the pregnancy. The decriminalisation of so-called "recreational" drugs is also an unconscionable policy. |
Date | 14:26:00, March 27, 2008 CET | From | FIBB Party | To | Debating the United Democrats of Hulstria Bill Number 2 |
Message | We agree with the Donner Party, we oppose 1, 2 and 5. |
Date | 14:55:06, March 27, 2008 CET | From | GUBA Party | To | Debating the United Democrats of Hulstria Bill Number 2 |
Message | Article one may need to be broken out for debate by itself. Article 5 would be one that I might also see objection to. At this point, the majority is with UDofH, so I don't think we can stop this legislation from passing, but I will remember this when times are different. |
Date | 17:01:33, March 27, 2008 CET | From | Royal Socialist Party of Hulstria | To | Debating the United Democrats of Hulstria Bill Number 2 |
Message | I can understand opposition to article 5, but why 1 and 2? Not allowing abortions takes away freedom of choice, a fetus is not alive. That has been proven. Article two helps to make abortions more and more infrequent. |
Date | 17:06:04, March 27, 2008 CET | From | Centralized Union Protectorate | To | Debating the United Democrats of Hulstria Bill Number 2 |
Message | I think it's more about the lateness of the term for me, I'd approve a first term, maybe a second, but not a late stage abortion.. |
Date | 00:20:46, March 28, 2008 CET | From | People's Radical Party | To | Debating the United Democrats of Hulstria Bill Number 2 |
Message | Precisely. A fetus at the gestation of 2 months may not be viable, but a fetus at a gestation of just under 9 months patently is. |
