| Message | This is a total contradiction, give greater abortion rights in exchange for discriminating against women within the armed forces? I don't think that is a worthy price to pay... not all women find themselves with unwanted pregnancies. President Margaret Stonemason |
| Date | 16:08:51, May 10, 2009 CET | From | The Royal Union | To | Debating the Women's Rights Bill |
| Message | "Not all women find themselves with unwanted pregnancies." So what? This bill about protecting women, especially mothers. First and foremost, we believe in a woman's right to choose. Secondly, we welcome women into the ranks of our military and this bill is trying to encourage more women to serve in the armed forces. You're right, not all women find themselves in unwanted pregancies, but would you want your mother, sister, or niece caught in the crossfire? Guillaume Ridenour PUR Chair |

| Message | Women in Kanjor can choose where they want to serve in the military. By choosing for them you give them rights? I would support this abortion initiative but not at the expense of the robbery of rights, positive discrimation? This is basically saying that women are not as good as men and they need the help.
