| Message | We strongly agree. |
| Date | 23:37:22, March 08, 2013 CET | From | De venstregrønne | To | Debating the Abortion |
| Message | We strongly disagree. |
| Date | 04:38:40, March 09, 2013 CET | From | Indigoblå Liga | To | Debating the Abortion |
| Message | Just as the responsibility of raising a child belongs to the parents, the responsibility of this choice belongs to them as well. The cost of an abortion will also make potential parents think even longer and seriously about their decision. |
| Date | 04:58:59, March 09, 2013 CET | From | Logisk Synspunkt | To | Debating the Abortion |
| Message | Also, when people believe that abortion is murder, forcing them to pay for abortions is horribly morally wrong. |
| Date | 14:55:11, March 09, 2013 CET | From | League of Justice | To | Debating the Abortion |
| Message | Retsforbundet has changed their minds, we do now support this proposal since we also believe that abortion is immoral and murder. |

| Message | Abortion is certainly not "murder" and that is an absurd claim to make since life begins at birth according to any reasonable understanding of the word. We find it very surprising that any party which claims to stand up for people's civil rights would support this proposal. If this passes then the poorest women will no longer be able to afford safe abortions and may have their lives put at risk. |
| Date | 21:45:56, March 09, 2013 CET | From | Indigoblå Liga | To | Debating the Abortion |
| Message | If her life is at risk, then she will be able to afford a safe abortion as the policy change states "The government only funds Abortions for medical emergencies." |
| Date | 00:08:04, March 10, 2013 CET | From | De venstregrønne | To | Debating the Abortion |
| Message | But a woman's life will also be at risk if she can't afford a safe abortion at a hospital and has to instead have it performed illegally. |

| Random quote: "If democracy is ever to be threatened, it will not be by revolutionary groups burning government offices and occupying the broadcasting and newspaper offices of the world. It will come from disenchantment, cynicism and despair caused by the realization that the New World Order means we are all to be managed and not represented." - Tony Benn |
