| 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 Isn't libertarians does that always. Dismiss the issue by saying the government should stay out of it. Libertarianism showed it's real side. It is an ideology for lazy ideogogues. Siobhan Knutsen Leader of FV |

| 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 |
