| Message | Article 1) Abortion is a necessary evil in the current situation. As I explained before, it's a symptom, not a sickness. IF anyone is willing to support a bill to do what is required to make abortion practically unknown no matter what the law actually is, then I don't really care what the current law on abortion is. In fact, once the return to normalcy reforms are done, I will construct such a bill, and I hope that you are serious about reducing abortion, rather than just making political statements concerning it. 2) Article 2 removes government interference from industry and improves the economy, protecting that industry from unneeded, hampering laws. It is also an expansion of individual rights. 3) is Identical to something one of hte opposing parties put in thier legislation, and is an expansion of individual rights. 4) Article 4 improves the economy by increasing the types of products available for sale and purchase. It also increases individual freedom, and reduces government intrusion. 5)Article 5 removes government interference from industry and improves the economy, protecting that industry from unneeded, hampering laws. It is also an expansion of individual rights. So, if you are interrested in getting the legislation done to improve Kalistan, let's either have support or compromise. |

| Message | You are completely misinterpreting what I said. Let me try it this way: Abortion is an effect, not a cause. People don't get abortions for fun. People get abortions because they feel they have to, that they have no choice. If you eliminate the reasons why people feel forced into getting abortions, you will reduce abortions to a near-zero number. If you do not, you will just make abortions go underground and become more dangerous. It seems as if a lot of right-wingers don't want to do the work of what is needed to reduce abortions. They don't want to go after the true causes, just propaganda. It's like trying to chop down an apple tree by picking the apples. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
