| Message | If pregnant women are allowed to abort at any time they wish, that would lead to deterioration in social feminine care; many of these people can turn sterile after many voluntary abortions, and they may not have any idea how this can damage their health and womanhood. Besides, allowing abortion COMPLETELY isn't granting women rights; it's just slipping off the attention required in more long-termed potential thinking such as population control, contraception and safe sex. Now, while we respect the rights to choose abortion, we would recommend pregnant women choose it within a certain time gap post-pregnancy which both allows time for wise, concurred decisions and proves minimal medical complications during operations; after this time gap, it is compulsory that abortion shall not be an option. This can save many women's lives and other rights as well. |

| Message | We say no. And this is the fact due, that we don't have the right to abort an unborned childrens life, unless in an emergency case. |
| Date | 09:58:18, July 24, 2008 CET | From | Green Party of Aldegar | To | Debating the Abortion Rights Act of 2610 |
| Message | The very idea of of human rights endowment is recognising the basic human ability that is to be responsible for their own bodies. We will supplement this bill with educational and informational support to warn women, and men, of the possible complications in late-term abortions. But if some still choose to have abortion late into their pregnancies, the state shall not abuse its power and deprive them of their right to choose how to treat their own bodies. In regards to contraception and safe sex, there is nothing a state can do to promote these but through comprehensive sex education; unless of course the state is a totalitarian state. But do we want Aldegar to go that way? The Progressive Left Party certainly do not. |

| Message | DUP, every person is endowed with the right to life. But is an unborned foetus a person? And we think it is better for a foetus not to be born rather than born to a pair (if it is even a pair) of unprepared parent(s). |

| Message | ZPP, is tht yes for the bill or for the question of unborne foetus being a person? |
| Date | 03:43:41, July 25, 2008 CET | From | Party of the Terravore | To | Debating the Abortion Rights Act of 2610 |
| Message | A foetus is not a human, regarding to our description of a human being is one that can consume food orally and can pay for it. We support your bill with cordially with all our belly. |

| Date | 04:20:06, July 26, 2008 CET | From | Pantheism Capitalistic Party UCF | To | Debating the Abortion Rights Act of 2610 |
| Message | Would this mean that a woman can have an abortion a day before the due date? May we ask what kind of government we are to not protect life simply because it cannot protect itself. Dining 'n Entertainment Industry's Party your definition of life would mean that infancide would be perfectly acceptable. As would extermination of the poor and the disabled. Progressive Left Party, why not an adoption if the parents are unprepared? We ask all parties voting yes for this bill how they would justify an abortion during the third trimester when the Fetus is able to feel pain. |

| Message | PCP, yes the woman can if she chooses to do so. Of course the Diners' definition of everything depends on their view of the world as the consumers and the consumed, even tough their name as an "industry" implies that they are producers. Adoption is always good. But with the current status of adoptions only for heterosexual couples, most of whom have enough kids already, the chances are low. Secondly, our society still has a stigma on relationships outside marriage and the childern born from them. An adopted child might be faced with that stigma by his adopters, but not from his real parents. HOWEVER, the PLP stands for female rights and will do everything in a democratic framework to ensure that conditions of female Aldegarians are improved. We see that a little improvement is better than nothing. Therefore, we are proposing to lower our expectations and propose a bill to legalise abortion to the second trimester, or the first trimester after this bill is voted down. We would like to hear from all parties of which of the two choices we can all achieve a compromise on to give women what should have been given to them a long time ago. |

However, the provision of a plausible backstory may be a factor in whether Moderation approves the Cultural Protocol if players in surrounding nations question its appropriateness for their region of the game map. |
