| Message | Mr speaker, this would allow irresponsible parents the right to neglect their children. We oppose on ethical grounds, and not on regulatory ones. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, this could lead to outbreaks of preventable diseases throughout Hutori. It would be ridiculous to allow such preventable things back into our society. We also echo the message of the Labour Party. |
