| Message | We, the members of Stable Development Party (SDP) are in position, that proposed bill is not acceptable in current form, yet is it definitely suspectible to the debate. There is no scientific or common sense reason to disallow non-married couples to take part in IVF programme. There is no reason in believing the married couples have more rights to have offspring than the non-married ones. We also believe, that the enlightened society is the informed society and the ingredients, especially controversial ones, like GM or chemical, should always be disclosed to society. Members of SDP are approving articles no 1 and 4 of this bill. |
| Date | 03:43:45, September 01, 2015 CET | From | Conquest Party of Valruzia | To | Debating the Health bill of 3900 |
| Message | We highly discourage non-married couples from having children. Studies show that children are better off being raised in the homes of married couples. Adults raised by married couples, statistically, are far more productive members of Valrusian Society. |
