| Message | A ban on abortion would be nice, however it's a more local issue. |
| Date | 07:14:54, February 17, 2009 CET | From | New Aloria Party (NAP) | To | Debating the Abortion Policy |
| Message | Question: If it is up to the local Government's does that mean they can put a ban on it or not? |
| Date | 12:20:02, February 17, 2009 CET | From | Independent Radical List | To | Debating the Abortion Policy |
| Message | It does mean they can ban it, however this bill would be a regressive step, for instance in Gavonshire the PrCroa local government has a far more progressive abortion policy than this bill would allow, We would however support a bill which allowed abortions nationally in the first and second trimesters |
