| Message | Mr/Madam Speaker, I plead with all members of this house to make the right decision, and to vote AGAINST this horrible legislation. The Government does NOT have a right to control my uterus, or the uterus of any other woman in this nation. I resent the use of name calling in politics, but I can no longer hold out; the members of SUN and Unionists are fascists! They seek to control the lives of every citizen of this nation with their moralistic, "family values" garbage. The women of Solentia deserve the right to choose, and we will not stand here and watch the rights and civil liberties of this great society eroded by some two-bit religious wing-bats. Dianne Goldman Chair of the Democratic Socialist Party |
