| Message | This bill will reflect the policies in a perfect moralistic yet liberal state. If the bill passes, a bill for total illegalization of drugs will be tabled. Abortion is effectively murder, and should be treated as such except in medical emergencies. Why should an independent person die because of another's choice? Why isn't murder legal as well then? Culling of humans by choice? It just isn't moral. Explicit content being shown to children damages them and thus screening of this obscene content must be restricted to more appropriate hours. We are not asking for illegalization, just a little consideration to be made for the sake of our children. |

| Message | Abortion is not murder. Removing a zygote from the womb is not execution. We would accept, nay support, a reduction in the time that women can abort as allowing abortion throughout the whole of the pregnancy can be seen as...distasteful as by the 24th week there is brain activity. Liberal is an interesting word, but surely allowing freedom of choice to our citizens in their social lives is a good thing? |

| Message | Will you support Articles 1 and 3? |
| Date | 11:59:40, September 06, 2008 CET | From | We Say So! Party | To | Debating the Social Moralization Act |
| Message | Won't support article 1 as it is a good for business. Article 3 doesn't really seem necessary as (if we remember the original bill correctly) although nudity and explicit content is available all day long those channels showing explicit content are required to encrypt their content during the day to limit availability of access to young children. However, you could add that requirement into the bill description again if you feel it necessary. In regards article 2, we have already outlined as to what position we will support and feel it is unnecessary to repeat. |
