| Message | Mr. Speaker. We will oppose this bill once set upon vote. We will not play any part in the murder of innocent unborn children. Anne Zocker Deputy Leader of the LNUP |
| Date | 05:43:59, January 08, 2016 CET | From | Liberal Progressive Alliance | To | Debating the Pro-Choice Bill |
| Message | M. Speaker, But Anne Zocker will gladly sit back and watch women with serious pregnancy complications die, and their basic human rights die with them. This is a terrible double standard. James Freeman LPA Health and Social Services Spokesperson |
| Date | 06:12:13, January 08, 2016 CET | From |  Great National Republican Guard | To | Debating the Pro-Choice Bill |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, My party is content with the current law on funding for abortions, but we do not oppose the proposed change because we have very high spending in Health & Social Services. As for the general abortion policy, we have been a pro-choice party for the most part. We will definitely support this bill as it stands now. -- Trevor Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG |
| Date | 06:43:23, January 08, 2016 CET | From | Pro Lodamunese Unitarian Party | To | Debating the Pro-Choice Bill |
| Message | We support article 1 in this bill as it stands. But we do support current law for article 2. We believe that if this is something women wants to do they should be able to do so. But they should pay for it themselves, with the exception that if her life is in danger, then the government should help pay for it. Officially we are Pro choice, however we do not condone the killing of babys, born or unborn. Walter Lodamun PLUP Prime Minister |
| Date | 12:30:03, January 09, 2016 CET | From | Court of Shades | To | Debating the Pro-Choice Bill |
| Message | Mr Speaker. We do not support Article 1. The further along the pregnancy you go the greater chance you have of killing life. This is unacceptable, unless their are complications. The current law supports this view. We do support Article 2. All medical procedures should be funded by the government if the evidence supports it will improve lives. This is a matter that should be decided by research not legislation. As it stands, we cannot support. Tom Darkly CoS Leader |
