| Message | Mr Speaker, we oppose this bill with a double reasoning: Abortion, if at all, should only be allowed in the early stage of development of the fetus, because human life is not something we should handle carelessly. Allowing to dispose of it at one's will is a violation against nature. Secondly, thanks to the existence reliable means of protection such as contraceptives or the morning after pill, there is no viable justification for making society pay for ending unwanted pregnancies through funding an abortion with tax money. Altogether, we reject the whole concept of this bill and will vote against it. Dr. Howard Thornton MP Member for Loren Minister of Health and Social Services |

| Message | Madam Speaker, abortion is a very sensitive issue, and we respect the fact there are strong views on both sides. Our position is that abortion should be legal in the first two semesters of pregnancies - though not afterwards (unless the circumstances are exceptional). We also very strongly believe that every Dranish woman should have access to abortion, regardless of her income level. Diego Barreto MP (Leader of the DSP) OOC: This Bill won't have time to pass before the election. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, The GNP acts as if a six month fetus in its mothers' womb could just crawl out and live. Women own what is in their bodies whether it be fetus, windpipe or ovaries and should have full power on what to do about any of these parts. A fetus is not a human and does not have the rights a human does. Unwanted pregnancies turn into unwanted and abused children who will suffer abuse and end up in orphanages and foster care which I believe the GNP would not love to increase funding to being vulture capitalists. If the Govt does not fund abortions, women will simply turn to dangerous methods or suicide. Prof. Hugh Vachez LOL Health Critic |

| Message | Madam Speaker (OOC: It is not Mr. @Alain) So-Called Libertarian GNP hates women's right to choose, women should able to get abortions except partial birth abortion(Intact dilation and extraction). Your moral grounds has no importance for me and Dranish women who wants to get abortions. Dr.Thornton in my humble opinion not my party's or leaders opinion you are a sick man who is morally corrupt and forceful man and you should be ineligable to serve but my party supports you. As you remember your hearings have many opposition from our party and your nomination passed barely just want to remind you this Georgia McCormick MP from Elbian Leader of Progressive Parliamentary |

| Message | Madam Speaker, the Hon. Member McCormick can be sure that I do not share unrestrained feelings of love and affection for you or any of the rest of the Green bunch in government. The only reason why I sit in the same cabinet room with you pot-smoking left-wing hippies is that I dislike the VBSM even more. Mr Speaker, what Prof. Vachez has stated is abhorrent because he knows very well that a fetus already contains the genetic information of a wholesome human being, treating these like garbage to be dumped at the will of the mother is a despicable policy and proves the deep moral degeneration of the extreme left. Mr Speaker, children are not private property, neither is any human being, and I condemn the suggestion that is it preferable to kill them off right away to assigning them to orphanages and other institutions of care, which is simply the most disgusting notion ever expressed with regards to this issue on the floor of Dranish Parliament. Dr. Howard Thornton MP Member for Loren Minister of Health and Social Services OOC: Take note that Thornton is a socially conservative religious nutjob, he doesn't represent the official GNP agenda. |

| Message | Madam Speaker Dr. Thornton you are a nutjob and personally i don't smoke pot but Mr.LeCoultre, finance minister likes it a lot. If a fetus is alive than the human age should be calculated from conception not from birth. Dr.Thornton i should ask you a question where dp you buy your MD,it is super high quality, you faux-MD even fooled the parliamentary records. You cannot be a doctor, even my 10 year old son has more scientific knowledge than you. Georgia McCormick MP from Elbian Leader of Progressive Parliamentary |
| Date | 22:15:34, February 20, 2013 CET | From | Grand National Party | To | Debating the Enhanced Reprodutive Rights Act |
| Message | Madam Speaker, Mrs McCormick has openly accused me of fraud by suggesting that I have bought my MD, which is both outrageous and unfounded. I obtained it at the First Private Dranian University's medical faculty in 3389 after five years of honest and thorough studying. The Hon. Member shall fell free to look it up in the records. Dr. Howard Thornton MP Member for Loren Minister of Health and Social Services OOC: Haha imagine if Thornton lost his doctorate just like the recently resigned Education Minister of Germany! |

| Message | OOC: It will be delighting and has many RP resource Madam Speaker I will check FPDU's medical school but i am skeptical about finding your record. If FPDU gave you a degree on subject except being non-sense than, Ms.Seisyll should open an investigation on FPDU. Georgia McCormick MP from Elbian Leader of Progressive Parliamentary |

| Message | Madam Speaker, speaking of family issues, I want to suggest to the Hon. Lady to marry Gyeong Dong, they both have the same venomous attitude and they'd have truly awful children together. Nonetheless, even in that case I would oppose an abortion. Dr. Howard Thornton MP Member for Loren Minister of Health and Social Services OOC: Maybe Breckinridge and Maddocks should tell call them to reason... although Thornton hates Breckinridge, too. |

| Date | 23:11:38, February 20, 2013 CET | From | Popular Party | To | Debating the Enhanced Reprodutive Rights Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, I will not start bandying about rhetoric calling abortion 'murder' and such. I believe abortion should be a personal choice for women, following discussions with their partners, in the first trimester of their pregnancy. I do not believe that taxpayers should be funding what should be a woman and her partner's personal choice, except in medical emergencies. Antonio Rajoy MP Prime Minister of Dranland |
| Date | 23:15:35, February 20, 2013 CET | From | Radical Liberal Party of Dranland | To | Debating the Enhanced Reprodutive Rights Act |
| Message | OOC: Probably Madam Speaker I am engaged but Mr. Thornton should marry Mr.Dong unlike this sick man, Dranish people support same-sex marriage and it is legal so you are able to marry him but when he divorced his wife, we should send her to an abused women support group. Being with you in the same room for even a second is unbearable that poor woman endures you every single day of her life. Georgia McCormick MP from Elbian Leader of Progressive Parliamentary |
| Date | 23:23:17, February 20, 2013 CET | From | Grand National Party | To | Debating the Enhanced Reprodutive Rights Act |

| Date | 23:46:53, February 20, 2013 CET | From | Grand National Party | To | Debating the Enhanced Reprodutive Rights Act |
| Message | Madam Speaker, I strongly reject the notion of being equaled to racists. The Hon. Member Abala is free to criticize me for my stances on gay marriage and abortion, but racism is something that I vehemently reject. Dr. Howard Thornton MP Member for Loren Minister of Health and Social Services |
| Date | 23:49:17, February 20, 2013 CET | From | P.A.R.D | To | Debating the Enhanced Reprodutive Rights Act |
| Message | Madam Speaker,Mrs.Abala has lost her mind.When did we say our position was to kill babies that are of a certain race/religion/color?If we totally oppose abortion for everyone,how does that allow us to use abortion to kill certain children?Really,read your statement back to yourself and hear how idiotic your hate and false accusations sound.

| Message | Order! Order! I will not have Honourable Members turning Parliament into a zoo! The public have a right to a higher standard of debate that what we are witnessing here at the moment. The reputation of Parliament is being damaged by the behaviour of a small minority of its members, and this is absolutely unacceptable! I remind Honourable Members that they are the elected representatives of the Dranish people, and that they are here to represent their constitutents, not to engage in personal slanging matches. Maria Jimenez MP (Speaker of Parliament) OOC: Alain, I've also heard about the German education minister who got in trouble for plagiarising her dissertation! Pretty embarassing, isn't it.

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
