Message | This is certainly not a matter for local governments. State provided healthcare should be provided by the state, which includes abortion policy. |

Date | 12:24:59, July 29, 2008 CET | From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Abortion Control Act |
Message | How could it not be? The state provides healthcare to its people. Abortions come under healthcare. Ergo... |
Date | 12:34:32, July 29, 2008 CET | From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the Abortion Control Act |
Message | ergo nothing. |
Date | 12:37:58, July 29, 2008 CET | From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Abortion Control Act |

Message | Or about all those provinces you keep naming in your news reports. I guess those do not count. |
Date | 12:56:18, July 29, 2008 CET | From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Abortion Control Act |
Message | The news reports have nothing to do with the JUP. A "province" is merely an electorate in our books. But let us say it was left to the provinces, of which each will contain say 500,000 people. Our larger cities will have many more than that. So you are prepared to allow abortions to be banned in some parts of the city, but allowed completely in others? |

Message | We'ld prefer the current |
