| Message | It is outrageous and irresponsible to submit bills and to send them immediately to vote without giving the parties enough time to discuss; we encourage the Action of Civic democrats to reconsider its disregard for the other parties. Strongly against. It is true that no human-being is allowed to kills somebody else. Yet, the boundary between life and death during the conception is so hard to define scientifically that since the government should not intervene in the life of its citizens, the allowance of abortion translates the responsibility and the eventual guilt (in case there is such) to the person submitting itself to the treatment. We do not encourage abortion, but the government is not decide; only to provide the means for taking a decision. |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
