| Message | The LUP will vote against the bill if Article 1 is included in this bill. |
| Date | 05:05:18, January 15, 2017 CET | From | The Confederation Party | To | Debating the The Taxation Burden Act |
| Message | The Confederation Party would like to request a reason from the LUP why pro-life taxpayers should pay for another person's abortion |
| Date | 18:55:38, January 15, 2017 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the The Taxation Burden Act |
| Message | Perhaps there is a compromise possible to make both sides agree? We, the Beluzian Freedom Party, do not support article one, but we could compromise. Perhaps low-income families receive abortion funding? If not that then perhaps states should be given the individual freedom to decide themselves. |
| Date | 22:32:38, January 15, 2017 CET | From | Unionist Party | To | Debating the The Taxation Burden Act |
| Message | We tell all pro-life taxpayers to put down the bible and pick up a science textbook. A women's right to an abortion should not be threatened and this proposal would do just that. This proposal would specifically hurt low-income earners who may not be able to afford the cost of properly caring for a child. |

| Message | Even the agnostic and atheists among us believe all people, from conception, have a right to live and better the Republic and the world. We also believe your blatant dismissal of the faithful is horrible and anti-Beluzian. |
| Date | 13:52:33, January 16, 2017 CET | From | The Confederation Party | To | Debating the The Taxation Burden Act |
| Message | We are of the mind of the Freedom Party. |
| Date | 00:35:27, January 18, 2017 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the The Taxation Burden Act |
| Message | The freedom Party will reluctantly support this bill in the spirit of compromise. The country cannot be great if we cannot compromise. Hopefully the state legislatures will have the good sense to make the right decisions. |
