| Message | Honorable Speaker, While we can sympathis with Article 1 we feel that this bill would remove the rights of the women to decide what is best for her body as well as the husbands right to decide what is best for their family. As for the stem cell research the chance of finding a cure for currently uncureable diseases is too great to pass up the chance to find it through this kind of research. Signed, Merlin Schulz President of Alduria |

| Message | Although the New National Party is in strong favor of a complete ban on abortion in all cases, we recognize that this bill makes significant progress. General Secretary New National Party |
