| Message | Mr Speaker, Mrs Ortega is most likely the sole person to perceive any libertarian streak at all in the big-government agenda she is busily pushing, but we agree that this proposal is in particular a violation of freedom and autonomy of families.The 'greater good' is a bogus term that allows for nullifying individual rights whenever the government deems it necessary, and should not be regarded as a substantial argument in favor of government coercion. Marie-Louise Belmonte MP Member for Ulbrach RFR Spokeswoman for Health and Social Services |
