| Message | Mr. Speaker, The honorable Mr. Thompson says his aim is to "modernize our nation." He says this, he then proposes, for lack of better terminology, that what we actually do, and what I suspect he means when he says "modernize" is abandon decency. Abandon morality. Abandon any standards of acceptable social norms. The termination of precious and innocent life isn't "modern." Its barbarism! Having tax payers fund such a heinous practice isn't "modern." It's called genocide! Euthanasia isn't "modern" it's criminal! I cannot and I will not support such legislation. It's unthinkable and unconscionable! I yield. Edison Turner Leader of the LWP |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, As both a woman and a proud Luthorian, I often have to balance women's reproductive rights with our nation's proud social customs. I personally do not favor abortions, but they should be legal and used only as a method of last resort for families who simply do not have the financial means of caring for the child, or for another equally-pressing reason. With that being said, I am opposed to the government funding abortions. As for homosexuality in the military, that is a step too far. I am willing to support a "don't ask, don't tell" policy, which is a reasonable compromise for the right and left. Though the HDU is traditionally against euthanasia, we believe on the whole, the good slightly outweighs the bad, and we will swallow our pride and vote in favor of this bill. We would be just as willing to vote for a bill that reintroduced the "don't ask, don't tell" policy and withdrew government funding of abortion if another party so chooses to present such a bill. I yield. The Rt Hon. Margaret Patterson MD Leader of the HDU Minister of Education and Culture |
