| Message | We do not concur. We accept abortion at any time except the third trimestre and in cases of emergency. While life may begin at conception, the value of that life begins at consciousness and current scientific indicators suggest consciousness begins in the third trimestre. |

| Message | Not agreed, we accept the fact that consciousness starts at the third trimestre, but with an abortion in the first of the second trimestre you don't give the unborn child the chance t get in the third trimestre. For us the life starts in the early beginning, even in the first weeks. The unborn child has not the chance to defend himself. And for what reason can you do an abortion, just because of an "accident" ? |

| Message | We agree with the CDs. What if the unborn child is the next Malivianese Raja or Dauphin? If anything, the child can still live a happy and productive life away from his/her parents if required with a family that may not be able to have kids. This life will be much better than having your cells scrambled a la smoothie before you take your first breath outside the womb. We could always use more officers in the military anyways and what stops an unborn child from becoming the next Malivianese General? Abortion. |

| Message | <<And for what reason can you do an abortion, just because of an "accident" ?>> or a rape, or a case where the child is doomed to some serious lifelong disease, etc. There are many reasons why a abortion is chosen, the question we need to ask is what value we place on the life of the unborn, and where do the already born take precedence. Currently we favor those who already born, but can see how others have different opinions. Yet we must vote in defence of abortions for those who for whatever reason choose this route. We feel no one should be forced into pregnancy , delivery, or parenthood. |
