| Message | Mr. Speaker, Article 1 is too extreme in our opinion. It gives way for a range of hypothetical situations, namely one in which an unborn baby of 8 months and 29 days is aborted the day before its due date. While we completely support the right to abortion we do not believe that unborn babies capable of living outside the womb should be allowed to be aborted because that is tantamount to murder. A better policy would be to allow abortion during the first and second trimester. - Arthur Woodbury, Leader |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
