| Message | Lord Chancellor, Both are unacceptable. Article one violates our beliefs and disables our ability to protect ourselves. Their abortion policy is also an ABOMINATION and violates all that is Theognosian, all that is goo, all that is holy, all that is RIGHT. We do not allow murder and we WILL NOT ALLOW THIS. |

| Message | We did not extend any greetings and shall not extend them until your party becomes cooperative and attempts to pass LOGICAL, actually beneficial legislation. This bill does not expand freedom, but rather takes away possible freedom and as for article 3, is immature and violates fundamental morality. You are not welcome in these halls! Please do excuse my outburst, Lord Chancellor. Per form, I shall direct all comments to you from this point forward unless given explicit permission. Vunt MP |

| Message | Lord of Parliament, I do give all here permission to address each other. Unless so needed, I shall remain silent for the remainder of this discussion. Lord Chancellor Dagny Ellinor Vunt |

| Message | With all due respect to MP Vunt, we feel that a womans right to choose has been restricted for far to long. Likewise, pornography is a victimless crime. Our party was formed because there has been a grassroots demand for change. Capitan Black Bellamy |

| Message | That is a LIE!!! Our polls around the nation have expressed no such desire. Also, NOW HUMAN HAS THE RIGHT TO MURDER ANOTHER HUMAN BEING. As for pornography, the government has the duty to allow all to grow up in an environment free of naked people in every window |
