| Message | Mr Speaker, although I agree that abortions are seldomly justified and equal an inherent evil, I do not believe we should force women who have been raped to give birth. We should also acknowledge the medical fact that in some rare cases abortions are necessary to save the mother's life. Thus, a complete, unexceptional ban is not the right response to tackling this problem. Dr. Howard Thornton MP Member for Loren Minister of Health and Social Services |

| Message | Mr.Speaker,the VBSM's stance on abortion is unwavering,just like on the degradation of Dranish morality. Francisco Salazar Jefe de Partido |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, we could consider supporting Article 6 on regulating the film industry. However, we cannot support the rest of the Bill. Some of the policies proposed here are illiberal and dangerous in the extreme. The Blue Shirts are revealing themselves to be a divisive and sinister force in Dranish politics. We will do everything we can to expose them in the run-up to the General Election. Bergitte Mikkelsen MP (Leader of the Opposition) |

| Date | 00:58:45, February 14, 2013 CET | From | Grand National Party | To | Debating the The Morality Laws II (3440) |
| Message | Mr Speaker, why is Mr Salazar so obsessed with this video? He seems to be citing it in every other statement.. After all, is it possible that he actually received a great deal of pleasure from watching it? Alice Claythorne MP Member for Valdor GNP Deputy Parliamentary Leader |
| Date | 01:13:39, February 14, 2013 CET | From | P.A.R.D | To | Debating the The Morality Laws II (3440) |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, I am glad to see the Honourable Member Alice Claythorne in the chamber today, but am disappointed to see that her boss, the Honourable Member Julia Breckinridge is not here. Is she having coffee with the Prime Minister, perhaps? I hope Ms. Claythorne will convey my regards to her. Gyeong Dong MP (Suspended DSP MP) |
| Date | 01:17:35, February 14, 2013 CET | From | Democratic Socialist Party | To | Debating the The Morality Laws II (3440) |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, I am also a happily married man, but it was my duty to watch the videos in order to appropriately acquaint myself with just how vile and disgusting they are. How else would I appreciate just how abominably the former Minister of Trade & Industry has behaved? Gyeong Dong MP (Suspended DSP MP) |

| Date | 05:36:35, February 14, 2013 CET | From | Radical Liberal Party of Dranland | To | Debating the The Morality Laws II (3440) |

| Random fact: When it comes to creating a Cultural Protocol in a Culturally Open nation, players are not necessarily required to provide a plausible backstory for how the nation's cultural background developed. However, the provision of a plausible backstory may be a factor in whether Moderation approves the Cultural Protocol if players in surrounding nations question its appropriateness for their region of the game map. |
