| Message | Although we can understand why parties support making abortions legal, we are baffled that they could support a bill like this. One of the main arguments that parties supporting legal abortion in the Federal Union have used in the past is that the decision to have an abortion should be between a woman and her doctor; he government should not be involved. This bill clearly involves the government in abortion, directly contradicting one of the most powerful arguments used in favor of legal abortion. Why should taxpayers who morally oppose legal abortion be forced to pay for others to have the elective procedure? |

| Random fact: When it comes to creating a Cultural Protocol in a Culturally Open nation, players are not necessarily required to provide a plausible backstory for how the nation's cultural background developed. However, the provision of a plausible backstory may be a factor in whether Moderation approves the Cultural Protocol if players in surrounding nations question its appropriateness for their region of the game map. |
