| Date | 03:57:37, June 05, 2012 CET | From | Democratic Front | To | Debating the Abortion Rights Act |
| Message | The Democratic Front will oppose this bill as we believe the government should provide funding unless it is a medical emergency and believe that pregnancy termination should be illegal in the second trimester. |

| Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |
