| Message | Mr. Speaker, This is an violation on the freedom of a woman to choose. Especially poorer communities will be hit with these regulations. We're not 'murdering' anybody, how can you murder something that hasn't been born yet? Not every woman has the ability to choose of whom they get pregnant (rape for example).

| Message | This is appalling, a woman's body should never be controlled by the government. What if the woman is too young or unfit to be a mother, it's not murder because the fetus has not been born. Remind me what being alive means? It means being born, so you're saying the government shouldn't let women abort things that aren't even alive? Blasphemy |

| Message | Mr speaker, We agree with the Liberatarians and the SPP on this. Abortion is a right and a hard choice. Let us keep it legal. |
