| Message | Whilst I understand why some may have reservations over abortion, it's important that women are given the right to choose what should happen to their own body. If women are forced to have a baby they don't want because there is no medical emergency, this could have a huge, lasting health impact on both the mother and child after the pregnancy - June Brown, Minority Speaker of the House |

| Message | It is clear that Mrs Brown and her clearly prioritises 'lasting health impacts' over a human life. We choose life. Dr Julia Baker (CPoB) Health and Social Secretary |

| Message | OOC: Sorry, that was Julia Bakers old role. She is now CPoB Health Spokeswomen and Deputy Leader, apologies. |

| Message | The Conservative Party says that they choose life, yet they fail to protect the Mother's fundamental right to choice and control over their own body, and don't understand how refusing them this choice could affect them disastrously for the rest of their lives. So in the name of 'choosing life', the Government has chosen to ignore the female proportion of the population and put them at risk - June Brown, Minority Speaker of the House |
