| Message | Seeing as this nation supports progressive stances on moral issues, it would make sense for all of us to support this bill. Electoral favorability for all! |
| Date | 16:23:17, December 06, 2005 CET | From | Liberal Unitarist Party | To | Debating the Abortion Reform Act |
| Message | I cannot support this bill, our party believes abortion to be murder. |

| Message | Me either, 3 months is more than enough time if you want to "terminate" a pregnency. |

| Message | Medical science shows that the fetus is assuredly not a sentient life in the first and second trimesters. Extending it would merely inhance our current policy. |

| Message | Sorry, just because a fetus isn't a fully grown, functioning human, doesn't mean it's a life. Even in the First trimester, the baby already has a beating heart. Nasal openings and a mouth begin to form, the blood begins to move through primitive vessels, among other things. |

| Message | But the matter is sentience is it not? That doesn't happen until the third trimester. BTW who here is actually female? just curious. |
| Date | 03:53:01, December 08, 2005 CET | From | One Cildania Party | To | Debating the Abortion Reform Act |
| Message | I'm Pro-Choice, but I think that the current law is adequate. I agree with CCC that the first trimester is adequate time to terminate pregnancy. |
| Date | 19:18:07, December 08, 2005 CET | From | Liberal Unitarist Party | To | Debating the Abortion Reform Act |
| Message | I will vote for this when I am shown a medical study that concludes life is blown into the fetus after the second trimester. |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
