| Message | Herr Präsident, this has nothing to do with morality whatsoever, as this policy does not restrict the right to have an abortion, only the right to impose the costs on others, which would be immensely problematic as a large number of Hulstrian citizens adhere to a faith that strongly objects to abortion. Additionally, I wish to ask the gentleman from the Nein-Partei, how he can explain the incoherence of his party's stances on morality - calling beer "the demon's drink" yet cheering for abortion certainly seems a bit odd to me.

| Message | Unlike our cynical opponents, the Hulstrianisch Nein Partei do not subscribe to an outdated and self-contradicting ideology of moral puritanism. Our liberal opponents would see to it that women unable to afford abortion, primarily poor and minority women, are unable to get affordable access to abortion, effectively forcing a religious and puritanical moral outlook upon the secular citizens of our great nation. At the same time, our liberal opponents would cynically suggest that mad drunkards be allowed to roam the streets of our great nation and terrrorize our people in their narrow and absurdly ideological view of "freedom". It's clear that the Liberale Volkspartei stands only for the freedom of the rich few, while opposing the liberation of the masses who say NEIN to their quixotic and cynical program. |

| Message | Herr Präsident, the misrepresentation of our positions that the Nein-Partei is attempting is nothing but demagogic ranting. If "denying" people something to them means not having it paid for by the state, then it has become obvious that they are nothing but communists in disguise. We already have enough communist loons in this Parliament, there is no need for another far-left splinter group trying to dismantle the freedom of our citizens, be it the freedom to drink or the freedom of not having to bail out the results of other people's sexual missteps.

| Message | The Hulstrianisch Nein Partei rejects this cynical and libelous misrepresentation of our views. It's clear that the Liberale Volkspartei is nothing but a red-baiting joke party that has to resort to name-calling rather than attempt to defend their untenable and equivocally maddening positions. It's time for the people of this great nation to let responsible parties run the show rather than allow this bunch of elitist ivory tower liberals to continue to drive our great nation into the ground. Maybe if the Liberale Volkspartei put down the drink and started to listen to their constituents, they would begin to understand how hypocritical their idiosyncratic ideology actually is. |

| Message | Herr Präsident, the desperate slurs of the gentleman from the Nein-Partei and his failure to comprehend the flawless logic of the arguments made by the Health Minister reveal that he is unfit for higher office. Liberalism is by no means "idiosyncratic", it is in fact a very simple concept to understand as all liberal policies stem from one common root: freedom. If the proponents of the Nein-Partei already lack any kind of basic understanding of political philosophy and ideology, then we can safely conclude that their competence in other areas is just as low. The Nein-Partei, quite obviously, is the only joke around here, and not even a particularly good one. Franz Heubisch, MdR LVP-Backbencher |
