| Message | While we agree with article one of this legislation, we will be voting against it due to the fact that low income and at risk mothers who cannot afford abortions will be unable to attain them. If the article two was changed to allow for these factors, we might reconsider. |

| Random fact: When it comes to creating a Cultural Protocol in a Culturally Open nation, players are not necessarily required to provide a plausible backstory for how the nation's cultural background developed. However, the provision of a plausible backstory may be a factor in whether Moderation approves the Cultural Protocol if players in surrounding nations question its appropriateness for their region of the game map. |
