Message | If you are referring to us, let us point out that we are not women haters. However, we are against this notion that abortion is a tolerable act. The womb has life, so we should respect that. Besides, we also give women the option to have their babies placed for adoption or be placed under the care of the social welfare department, where our minister John Falver is very willing to accept these babies so long as they don't get aborted. OOC: Honestly, I don't see both of our bills getting passed. |

Message | Firstly, We do not believe that abortion should be used often or as a method of contraception and we agree that the womb has life. HOWEVER, we value the life of the pregnant woman above that of an unborn foetus and banning abortion will not stop it being done. It will simply be done in an unsafe way by people with no qualification meaning both woman and foetus may die which is intolerable to us. It is a regrettable act and we do not want abortion but we se it as essential for the health and safety of women. |
