Message | Which rights has the govenment in order to decide if future mothers and fathers will be good parents? This would be a prevarication of state on parents' life. Moreover, with such a right the state may decide to "terminate" a life? No, we do not support this proposal and we ask your MPs to retire this bill. |

Message | This bill is necessary to prevent unproductive members of society from expanding their taint in the pool of Aldegar's genetic greatness. It must be passed! |

Message | BBNA, much talk about the rights of the parents, but what about all children who are born with heritable diseases to incompetent parents? |

Message | And a fetus hardly qualifies as a "life" in our opinion. In that case, sperms are "lives", and that makes us all mass murderers (whether you deliberately masturbate or not). |

Message | OOC: Wait, forget what I wrote above. I wasn't really tuned into my character there. IC: Sometimes it is better to not be born at all, then to be born into squalid conditions. And we have to think long-term. |

Message | The real problem is the same: WHO has the right to choose if I am a good parent or not. We think the state should not have such a right because we risk to generate to much discrimination. We want to remind that in some case parents initially inadeguate could go "on the right track", becoming good paretns, even much more than "tested verified" parents. |
