| Message | It is the irony that humans are one of the least protected animal species in Kirlawa. |

| Message | We would have been happy to vote for the abortion article if proposed separately -- the change proposed here is actually KPJP's preferred position on that issue -- but unfortunately cannot do so here, only because it's lumped in with a treaty withdrawal which we very strongly oppose. |

| Message | Treaty doubles http://classic.particracy.net/viewtreaty.php?treatyid=1220 http://classic.particracy.net/viewtreaty.php?treatyid=549 & http://classic.particracy.net/viewtreaty.php?treatyid=2429 the only matter different in the shameful treaty we're trying to abandon in this voting is: Government policy on subsidising contraception. to a point where government must subside contraception which we oppose. Our position on contraceptives is that government shouldn't involve itself in supplying/subsidizing them to population as it is immoral and highly unethical to force some people to fund from public money something that their religion views as sin. |
