Message	We will not support any bill that legalizes abortions during the entire course of the pregnancy.

From
To	Debating the Abortion and Birth Control
Message	Then you think the government has the right to take control an individual's reproductive systems. I countries where abortion in the third trimester is legal they are seldom availed of. Where a woman is desperate enough to want one in such circumstances it should be allowed.

To	Debating the Abortion and Birth Control
Message	I'm not hugely happy with third trimester at all but I would support up to second trimester abortions, the idea of the non-consentual killing of a human with brainwaves and who can survive outside the womb.

To	Debating the Abortion and Birth Control
Message	We share NLP's point of view. Since a third trimester fetus has brain activity and can survive outside the womb, its life is no longer a simple matter of the mother's reproductive system.

Date	not recorded
From
To	Debating the Abortion and Birth Control
Message	Pigs have brainwaves. Baby chimps are more developed than baby humans. People in long running comas have brainwaves, but we're for euthanasia. Well second trimester is better than nothing. I'll change it to get it passed and begin to campaign for third trimester.

Date	not recorded
From	Communist Party of Endralon
To	Debating the Abortion and Birth Control
Message	Well I wouldn't support the pointless killing of pigs or baby chimps either. Or of people in comas, for that matter (I am NOT in favour of involuntary euthanasia - if a person is in a coma, then that person ISN'T actually feeling any pain, so there's no good reason to kill him/her).

Message	OOC: I'll oppose this bill just for the sake of pandering to socially conservative voters - who will all vote for me in the next election. He he he...

Date	not recorded
From

Message	This isn't pointless killing. I hardly think anybody's going to have an abortion just for kicks.

Date	not recorded
From	Communist Party of Endralon
To	Debating the Abortion and Birth Control
Message	Well then, if you believe there has to be a good reason for abortion, why do you support abortion on demand?

Date	not recorded
From	Unified Communist Labor Party
To	Debating the Abortion and Birth Control
Message	We vote for this bill but in the future we will propose our own bill for abortion during the entire course of pregnancy.

Date	not recorded
From
To	Debating the Abortion and Birth Control
Message	We support the bill and a woman's right to control her own reproduction as part and parcel to womens' equality.

Date	not recorded
From
To	Debating the Abortion and Birth Control
Message	I originally had abortion for the entire course. On the basis that the CP was going to support only for 2 trimesters we changed it. We now wish we didn't and condemn the opportunism of the CP

Date	not recorded
From	Communist Party of Endralon
To	Debating the Abortion and Birth Control
Message	I have already drafted a bill to reduce it to 1 trimester. It's not about opportunism, it's about common sense.
