| Message | Mr Speaker, This bill is flawed. It will force Her Majesty's overseas to find decent healthcare and escape government waiting lists and inadequately run hospitals riddled with disease. The ban on contraceptives would result in our women spending even more time in these underfunded, horrible, government hospitals, catching more hospital superbugs. If you're going to pass a ridiculous law like article I: at least give the massive influx of pregnant women the option to use decent private clinics. I yield the floor. |

| Message | Madame Speaker, The trojan horse healthcare bill shall meet my vocal NAY. Progressive healthcare policies coupled with the sacrifice of personal freedoms is not the appropriate compromise to be made. |

| Message | Madam Speaker, I wish our honoured guest in the public stalls good luck in the next election. When he and his colleagues become honourable members of this Diet, perhaps they can help us repeal this nonsense? I yield the floor. |
