| Message | Say a pregnancy occurs after a rape. The woman should be able to terminate this pregnancy. A woman may also decide that she is not ready for a baby in her life, or the pregnancy may have occured by accident. |

| Message | If we do not allow for the abortion of unwanted babies there will be an increase in children being taken into government care. Surely we want children to be brought up in a loving home. |
