| Message | Mr Speaker, The Communists seem to think that morals are overrated? Why would you think that Prostitution should be legal? These poor broken women are being taken advantage of and you want to make that okay? You want other to make a profit on human suffering? You truly disgust me Imperial Chancellor George William Urquhart |

| Message | Mr Speaker, This is wrong. Adultery is a vile practice, like prostitution. Suicides among men are too high, and so allowing their wives to leave them in the middle of this epidemic is wrong and dangerous. Prostitution, as said above, allows young women to be taken advantage of. Humphrey Lawson IV Unity MP |

| Message | "Mr. Speaker" "People will cheat regardless if it's legal or not, as well it's better to legalize prostration means we can tax and regulate it, to insure young ladies aren't forced to do it by an abusive partner or God forbid a parent. Onto art. 2, there are people leaving their husbands still, but their forced to still be married to them, why? Men having depression isn't a argument to limit a women's Liberty" Karl Jinx LPU MP |
