| Message | errr MP abortion not marriage ... I'm still going to go against this though , a child is almost certainly self aware at some point in the third trimester and the women has had sufficient time to find shes pregnant and have the abortion. |

| Message | THIRD TRIMESTER abortions? That's INSANE. A fetus can be BORN and survive outside the womb in the third trimester! We have agreed to support abortion in the 1st and 2nd trimesters, but we cannot possibly support this absurd bill. However, as per our agreement with our coalition partners, we cannot vote against it either. We shall therefore abstain. |

| Message | (do you mind if I vote against this bill just so I don't get a penalty for abstaining? It is certain to pass anyway) |

| Message | Well, CP, I abstained on two of your bills. It would be the honorable thing to do to abstain on this one. |

| Message | most animals are actually self aware , this is shown again and again koko anyone... but well I'm a vegetarian so no conflict. The point is if you'll kill a fetus at any time in the pregnancy what real logical line are you drawing at birth? Self awareness is a good logical line which follows utilitarianism fairly well , birth is just an arbitrary physical event and I cant really see the logical justification for stopping abortion at this point. |

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
