| Message | The loss of one life is far greater than the loss of two. - Kristian Donson - Leader of the Radical Party |
| Date | 18:50:20, April 03, 2008 CET | From | Democratic Capitalist Delegation | To | Debating the Abortion Reform |
| Message | The DCD fully endorses this legislation as we agree that in the event it be necessary to save the life of the mother, the performance of an abortion should be legal. As the Radical Party wisely framed it, there is no need to allow 2 lives to expire when one can be saved. James Lott Chairman Democratic Capitalist Delegation |

| Message | Murder is not allowed in Telamon. Do not disguise murder by wrapping it in a "socially acceptable" sweater and cloaking it in saving a life. Murder is not acceptable. Not now. Not ever! If this passes what is next? The murder of differently abled? "They only have the brain capacity of animals. They don't count as real people." How about our seniors? Will we legalize their murder? "They're old and we want their stuff." How about the members of Parliament? "We don't have enough seats. If we kill the members of those parties we can get more power." Where does this end? Murder is not acceptable. Don't any of you dare make it acceptable. -Roger Evars, COM Party Leader |

| Message | In some cases abortion is a last resort to save the life of the mother. If Parliament truly cared about saving lives in medical emergencies it would propose a bill that legalizes abortion only in medical emergencies. But, that is not the purpose of this bill. This bill is purely political. Those who condone this bill don't care about the lives of patients. They only care about their liberal agenda. If they truly care about saving lives they will vote against this bill and introduce a new one to legalize abortion ONLY in medical emergencies. -Dr. Garal, Former Minister of Health and Social Services |

| Message | this is a disgusting bill and it the same as murder in my opinion, if they don't want to have children then they shouldn't have sex in the first place. |
| Date | 09:31:28, April 04, 2008 CET | From | Democratic Capitalist Delegation | To | Debating the Abortion Reform |
| Message | As a DCD is a party which sees the value of compromise, we agree with the COM party. The bill should be reformed to include only medical emergencies as originally proposed. We believe that to sour our carefully constructed relationships with the conservative parties at this point would prove most detrimental to the people, as it would be the start of a partisan war. James Lott Chairman Democratic Capitalist Delegation |
