| Message | Either it is murder or it is a fundamental human right. Some things shouldn't be left up to local governments. |
| Date | 22:07:14, July 09, 2012 CET | From |  Takanashi Clan | To | Debating the Abortion Act |
| Message | Even if we agree upon the statement that abortion is "either murder or fundamental human right", the question concerned is more about when the two viewpoints collide, an event that has happened in virtually every place since the discovery of abortion technique. While we agree that sometimes minority rights must be sacrificed to ensure the function as a single state, the main reason Beluzia is a collection of Parishes itself is to ensure not so much sacrifices are made, especially considering the multitude of cultures and religions in this country. As such, we believe that giving such difficult decision to local government, who is more likely to be familiar with local traditions, than to the federal government in Port Tackstov. |
| Date | 01:36:48, July 10, 2012 CET | From | Beluz Democratic Karavist Party | To | Debating the Abortion Act |
| Message | We do not believe this is a matter that local governments should handle. We will have to agree with the first statement made by the House of Astredies. Our stance is fixed: if there are 100 people and 99 of them are against abortion, it shouldn't stop the other 1 person from getting one. |

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
