| Message | 'Abortion is allowed during the first and second trimesters' is enough restrictive, since there is no provision for third term abortion when the mother health is in danger. |

| Message | The game doesn't allow for that. If you would like, we could change to allow it only in those cases as well as rape/incest. |

| Message | OOC: Blech. Kick my misread of your quote combined with not re-reading the bill. |
| Date | 08:05:29, November 10, 2005 CET | From | New Aldurian Conservative Party | To | Debating the Abortion Restriction Act |
| Message | We're moving this to a vote, primarily because we have a feeling that a familiar pattern of votes will emerge. |
| Date | 12:43:50, November 10, 2005 CET | From | Market Socialist Party | To | Debating the Abortion Restriction Act |
| Message | I think, that with the combínation of the Babyklappe, the full subsidization of contraception and the fact that abortion is illegal in the last trimester, we think that this piece of legislation is a bit too radically restrictive. We will vote against it. |
| Date | 15:21:12, November 10, 2005 CET | From | Aldurian Libertarian Socialist Party | To | Debating the Abortion Restriction Act |
| Message | "The game doesn't allow for that. If you would like, we could change to allow it only in those cases as well as rape/incest." We would agree to amend the actual law, not a even more stricter law. |
