| Message | Mr. Speaker, As evident of the recent Parlimentary elections where the two Pro-Life Parties, the Capitalist-Working Families Party & Rutanian Liberty Party, received the largest share of the Parliment's seats, we wholeheartedly object to this bill that legalizes murder of babies. --Dr. Nicole S. Best, Pediatric Neurosugeon & Minister of Science & Technology |
| Date | 16:47:27, June 16, 2013 CET | From | Democratic Union | To | Debating the Abortion Bill |
| Message | Ms Best, RLP and CWF have obtained the largets share of seats, but the pro-abortion parties still have more than the 50% of the seats. So luckily, most people still don't think like you do. Members of the WSM, I and my think this bill is not enough, while abortion should be possible during, at least, the two first trimesters. But it's still better than the actual law, so we agree with this bill. Sarah Bender, DU spokeswoman. |
