| Message | Mr Speaker, This Bill makes abortion practically illegal, yet massively reduces the supply of contraception. This will result in more children being born into situations that are unsuitable or unsafe, such being born parents that are unable to afford to look after their child, or being born to a rape victim who may associate the child with that traumatic event. If the Hon Gentleman wishes to protect children, as he claims, why is he bringing about such a situation? Donna Parson, Solidarity Spokesperson for Health and Social Services |

| Message | OOC: here is a brief history lesson. Malcolm X's grandmother was brutally RAPED by a member of the Ku Klux Klan. Now, she could have easily executed a botched abortion after undergoing that traumatic experience but look at the result it would have created. A historical figure in American history would have NEVER existed. Rape should NOT be an excuse to murder an innocent child who did not contribute in ANY way to the rape. |
