| Message | Mr Speaker, Dr Suarez' condescending attitude towards health care professionals and women, who he declares to be all clueless is shameful, and while we do not approve of abortion morally, we disagree about government enforcing personal morals and will not vote in favor of this bill. Janice LeCoultre MP Member for Valdor Minister of Health and Social Services |

| Message | Mr Speaker, The Hon. LeCoultre is completely mistaken about my statements on healthcare pros and women, they are not clueless n everything, just in regarding abortion as a 'reproductive right'. Dr. Gustavo Suarez Chairman of the HAC |

| Message | [This is a reiteration of my comments on the adoption bill] Mr. Speaker, For the longest time we have managed to move beyond these stupid and petty debates over social issues. We overcame the belligerence of Hosian parties which attempted to impose their social standards upon everyone else. Here's the memo to the Hosian Action Coalition: the largest Hosian denomination composes a little under a quarter of the population. There is absolutely zero reason, zero basis, and zero logic to forcing Hosian values upon our laws and upon the lives of our citizens. This is breach of the people's freedoms and an intrusion upon their own religious values, or lack of religious affiliation. Alejandro Xi Marcelino, MP KDF Chairman Member for Elbian |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, While we may disagree with some of the HAC's beliefs, it is true that we share some common values, such as the sanctity of life. I do not personally oppose funding abortions for medical emergencies, but feel that a yes vote is necessary to save thousands of babies from being killed in the womb. Gladys Rhys-Evans MP Draddwyr Cynghrair Pennaeth Member for Magadonia |
