| Message | Why do three of our "progressive" parties want to kill babies after the first trimester? |

| Message | The major problem is that the rights of the unborn=/=the rights of the mother-to-be. In a perfect world, fetal transplants would solve this problem, but we don't have the technology yet to do so, Do we have the right to terminate a life, just because we don't want it? Do we have the right to force someone to become a parent against their will? While adoption is a solution that could solve both issues, we live in a society where people prefer the quick fix, in this case, abortion. |

| Message | I know, by the time the second and third trimesters come around, you might as well go through with it, as there is only six months or less left to go. |

| Message | The SPP does not believe that a blastocyst should have more civil rights than a female citizen. All Luthorians are not members of your forced childbirth lobby! |

| Message | No-one is suggesting we force anyone to get pregnant, but once a woman is that new life is infinitely more important than her 'right' to kill unwanted babies. |
