Voting deadline: May 2177
Description[?]:
| Look at the people of Aloria. They are progressives, they are permissives! Why should we define freedom on issues where it goes against their beliefs. Why should we legalize euthanasia and abortion? Because it is the right of the people to control their lives! Because the people *want* to control their lives. It is time the government stopped telling them what to believe, and what they can and cannot do! |

| Message | Hey, why not kill the baby after it's born if you don't like the look of it? |

| Message | Kill the "fetus" up to age 18. Until then, it's just a parasite. |

| Message | Why do you assume this about killing people? It's simply a matter of choice. We realise the AGSP would prefer to just have everyone told what to do, and what to think, but the Aloria people clearly don't want that. They're progressive and permissive. It would be a disservice to the people to vote against this. |

| Message | Sorry, SRP. The ICP is and always has been against abortion, euthanasia, and the death penalty. Life-life-life. It isn't changing anytime soon. |

| Message | We don't want to control everything- we just want to ban murder. |
| Date | 15:55:24, January 28, 2006 CET | From | Social Reform Party | To | Debating the Progressive Society Act |
| Message | All you want to do is ban free will. |

| Message | What about the child who cannot yet speak for itself? The entire course of the pregnancy? Third trimester babies can often live outside the womb. What's the difference on what side of the womb? This isn't abortion you're supporting nor choice. You are supporting infanticide. I can understand first term, but entire pregnancy? The minute before the baby would be born it's okay to kill it? |
| Date | 19:33:33, January 28, 2006 CET | From | Aloria Green Socialist Party | To | Debating the Progressive Society Act |
| Message | What does SRP's other bill have to say about free will? Does murdering children fit into this vision? |
