| Message | Mr Speaker, We oppose the ratification of this treaty. Lodamun is a sovereign state and our internal laws should be determined here in Lodamun. There is no reason we should be bound to other countries on purely internal issues such as this. Andrew d'Arcy TA Leader |

| Message | Mr Speaker, This is the second time this issue has come up, and our position has not changed in the slightest. These issues (especially around abortion) are highly contentious and should be determined by the Lodamunese people. It should not be bound in the form of an international treaty. Jane Black CoS Acting Leader |

| Message | Mr Speaker. We will oppose this when it is sent through to vote. Based on the principles of our already liberal views on women and we believe Lodamun to be a champion on women's rights. We feel at this stage signing an international binding treaty on this subject would bring interference from outside. Anne Zocker Deputy Leader of the LNUP |
