| Message | Mr. Consul, We understand if the government believes that abortions should be further restricted, but we find it appalling that they will make all abortions, regardless of cause, illegal. What about abortions in the case of medical emergencies or in rapes? It seems that they are so rooted in the mistaken belief that children are being "murdered" through abortion, that they ignore the lives of mothers bearing children to them. In tandem, the government should provide abortion funding for low-income earners. Otherwise, they will be unable to take care of their child and he/she will lead terrible lives.

| Message | Dear Senators, we changed the law to ensure that the life of the mother must not be compromised for the life of the child. However,it is unbearable that through your igorance you are classifying low-income people as second class citizens. My parents were poor and did everything to ensure that i had a good start in life. You would have provided money for the abortion of myself to them. We will go ahaed with this law. Crassus Vampus, KLP fraction leader |

| Message | Mr. Consul, We provide abortion funding to low-income earners to help them if they choose to abort due to financial or familial circumstances. We are not belittling them at all - you are making fast assumptions on our intentions as being malicious even as we only hope to help society's needs. While we are grateful that the government has changed the law to accommodate for medical emergencies, we will vote against this bill on the latter article. Malagasy Thatcher Leader of the Democratic Progressives |

| Random quote: "No one today can afford to be innocent, or indulge himself in ignorance of contemporary governments, politics and social orders. The national polities of the modern world maintain their existence by deliberately fostered craving and fear: monstrous protection rackets. The 'free world' has become economically dependent on a fantastic system of stimulation of greed which cannot be fulfilled, sexual desire which cannot be satiated and hatred which has no outlet except against oneself, the persons one is supposed to love, or the revolutionary aspirations of pitiful, poverty-stricken marginal societies like Cuba or Vietnam. The conditions of the Cold War have turned all modern societies - communist included - into vicious distorters of man's true potential." - Gary Snyder |
