| Message | While we commend the Freedom party for the measure, we may not support the inclusion of Article 1 and 4. Though the Party is against abortion, we decided to support the option of government only funding Abortions for medical emergencies, in consideration for those who have low income or no way to support themselves. For Article 4, we believe it necessary for the nat'l government to determine health and safety laws. |
