| Message | Mr. Speaker, We are opposed to all of these Articles. In particular, as Catholics we are opposed to abortion and do not see why Catholic tax-payers should fund an activity they find immoral. |
| Date | 23:35:29, April 27, 2011 CET | From | Volkspartei | To | Debating the Health Reform Omnibus |
| Message | -Press Release from the Volkspartei- We at the Volkspartei will fight tooth and nail for one of the most important organisations in this nation - our Health Service. Privatising that vital service is insane, and we will not stand as such. Furthermore, the testing on animals for cosmetic purposes is absolutely absurd and cruel. We Dorvians should be proud to have outlawed such a practice, and should not by any means be pushing for its reintroduction. |
