| Date | 19:15:09, June 18, 2008 CET | From | Citizen's League | To | Debating the Abortion Act |
| Message | Respect for life? What about all the poor, murdered babies? We cannot allow this travesty to pass. |
| Date | 20:44:58, June 18, 2008 CET | From | Her Majesty's Loyal Trade Unionists | To | Debating the Abortion Act |
| Message | Many of these babies would not survive anyway, even without an abortion being performed. Isn't the life of the mother worth something too? Arthur Smith (General Secretary of Her Majesty's Loyal Trade Unionists) |
| Date | 21:24:33, June 18, 2008 CET | From | Solidarity (IA) | To | Debating the Abortion Act |
| Message | This is part of gradual move towards widespread infanticide. We oppose this. |
| Date | 22:59:19, June 18, 2008 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Abortion Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, The Holy Empire has the strictest laws in Terra because it is a shining light in this fallen world of sin and darkness. None of these babies would survive if doctors - the very people who have undertaken oaths to save life - are forced to murder them. Allowing such a travesty to occur might save the female in the short term: but it would condemn her and the doctor to an eternal death. No woman worth saving would allow her child to be murdered to save her own life. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, I would invite the spokesman for the Covenanters to consider how he would feel if a woman close to him - perhaps a wife, sister or daughter - was in the desperate situation for which this Bill is designed to help. Arthur Smith (General Secretary of Her Majesty's Loyal Trade Unionists) |
| Date | 00:46:15, June 19, 2008 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Abortion Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, If my wife were to die in childbirth I would pray for her eternal soul. If she was to murder our child in order to survive herself, however, no amount of prayer could save her from damnation. |
| Date | 18:00:11, June 19, 2008 CET | From | Luthori Tory Party | To | Debating the Abortion Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, The Luthori Tory Party condemns this heresy. I yield the floor. |
