| Message | The minimum wage is more in line with the compromise you wanted. Abortion's a tough issue though. Does your party not have a stance on this? |

| Message | Generally the ICP stance is that third trimester abortion is bad. The rest is a big grey area for the party, mostly. |

| Message | Can't blame you. Freedom of the baby vs freedom of the mother. The AGSP is generally against termination, although we usually are more libetarian on most other issues... |

| Message | A child in the womb has the same right to be respected as a worker in the factory, The factory owner doesnt have the right to do anything he/she wants to the worker.....why does this princible cease in the womb? |
| Date | 12:35:32, December 16, 2005 CET | From | Social Reform Party | To | Debating the Human Dignity Act |
| Message | There is just no way we can support the first article. The SRP does not consider the fetus a human, and we believe that it is the mothers choice to abort. And we find your comparison to the working class appauling. It is much like claiming the killing of animals is like that of the Deltarian genocides! |

| Message | Looks like you're in the minority here, then, SRP. |

| 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". |
