| Message | Mr Speaker We all know RFR are LINOs because libertarianism doesn't seeks consensus on anything, it will defy everything in name of shrinking government, even if people opposed to it. Siobhan Knutsen Leader of FV |

| Message | Mr Speaker, there is a lot of debate going on within the libertarian community over the issue of abortion, since it is a questionable practice that targets human life. Since life is a natural precondition for liberty, we cannot simply dismiss the issue by saying the government should stay out of it. Jeannine LeCoultre MP Member for Valdor Minister of Health and Social Services |

| Message | Mr Speaker, the government should stay out of what can be handled privately and voluntarily. Abortion is hardly voluntary on the part of the unborn child, is it? Jeannine LeCoultre MP Member for Valdor Minister of Health and Social Services |

| Message | Mr Speaker Law doesn't recognise the unborn foetus as alive so that argument is null and void, or we all have to add 9 months to our ages, some doesn't like that. Siobhan Knutsen Leader of FV |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
