| Message | Absolutely not. The future of a fully fledged adult comes above that of what is esencially a tiny clump of cells no more then a parasite at this point. Everyone makes mistakes, lives should not be ruined for this one. |

| Message | Lives should not be ruined, therefore we shall oppose It's hardly a competition, ball of cells vs adult... which has the more right to a good life? If the adult is thinking of the abortion then the child will be unwanted and will lead a ruined childhood anyway, in the process ruining the lives of it's parents. |

| Message | "The PC's position obviously stems about a total miscomprehension of what it means to be alive. Fetuses develop independent heartbeats, brainwaves, and other functions very early on in their develop. That's the difference between a fetus and a kidney." -Nicolaas van der Burgh Chairman of the HNP DM for Graaffsberg South HNP Spokesman on Finance |
| Date | 23:27:59, September 08, 2008 CET | From | Republican Coalition | To | Debating the Abortion (Restriction) Act 2634 |
| Message | independent heartbeats and brainwaves: 6th week (over a month after pregnancy. By this point almost all women would have realised they are pregnant and had a chance to abort the embryo) |
| Date | 01:25:48, September 09, 2008 CET | From | Wiedervereinigten Nationalisten | To | Debating the Abortion (Restriction) Act 2634 |
| Message | "The first trimester covers the first three months of pregnancy." -Nicolaas van der Burgh Chairman of the HNP DM for Graaffsberg South HNP Spokesman on Finance |
| Date | 03:01:03, September 09, 2008 CET | From | Republican Coalition | To | Debating the Abortion (Restriction) Act 2634 |
| Message | We are fully aware of this, and believe that the official ruling should not be a whole trimester (more likely two months), but certainly should not be banned |
