| Message | Mr Speaker, Abortion of foetuses with almost fully developed brains and nerve systems is barbaric. Even a left wing party must see that this is not acceptable morally. Your suggesting you can kill 8 month or 9 month old babies? They are almost entirely babies by then, and unarguably are human past the beginning of the third trimester. As for a 50 year-old retirement age, that's absurd. Most people live to around 75 or 80 now-a-days, so the idea that someone can live for 25 or 30 years on pensions is unintelligible. Surely someone middle-aged should not be considered unfit to worl? Rhiannon Aurora 3Right Leader |

| Message | Mr Speaker, We agree with A8 (Teacher-led prayers in schools are encouraged), A6 (The government only funds abortions for medical emergencies), A3 (Citizens elect their mayor directly in a local election) as well as A7 and A2 (Age of Adulthood from 18 to 19). However, the retirement age and nobility statuses are not something we could agree to. Rhiannon Aurora 3Right Leader |

| Message | Mr Speaker, As the bill was still being written when Rhiannon spoke against it I will be ignoring the concerns over abortion. I don't see how a 50 year old retirement age is absurd. If people wish to continue to work they're perfectly welcome to. If someone goes go college for 2 years after leaving school they would be 20 or 21, this means they will be working for roughly 30 years then retired for roughly that time again before passing away. This will improve our future prospects as parents will have more time to spend with children and teach them essential skills. This will give our children an advantage to go on and succeed in life. If they decide to emigrate they will leave with the skills needed to gain a job. This would increase the international view of our country as a successful and prosperous nation. Tell me this Rhiannon - if a carer is 55 or so and pushing someone much younger in a wheel chair is this right? Thank you David Smith DUP Leader |

| Message | Mr Speaker, I've never heard such tripe. Are you saying it's wrong for an older carer to take care of young people with disabilities. Is it wrong for someone to care for a child with leukaemia? No. 50 is not old! 50 is still middle aged. For a lot of people, it's only just over half their life. 49 isn't old, is it? You wouldn't think of a 49 year old as being able to retire. so why a 50 year old? Your view of age must be warped. Also, we did not disagree with the increase in the age at which you are considered an adult. Rhiannon Aurora 3Right Leader |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Today we get older every year! Our amazing country has had its healthcare improved with each passing year. Yet still some people think this is a time to work less? I would much rather say that we need to work more and raise retirement age to 65. This would free up the budget for tax cuts and higher military spending. Francis Urquhart: Moderate party leader. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, There are some proposals here that the HSP support but there are too many that we just cannot vote for. Thus if this bill is put to vote we will not support it. I yield Clare A. Palley HSP Whip |

| Message | Mr Speaker, The 3Right are one to talk considering they have no seat in parliament. A bit hypocritical are you not? We have an infinite amount of political voting power compared to your far right failure of a party. David Smith CUP Leader |
