| Message | By the end of the second trimester, a child is developed enough to have a nervous system, working blood system and a beating heart. I see no reason why a mother would not be able to have an abortion in her first trimester. I plead with the left-wing parties to consider the other person and not just the mother. Abortion is not a good thing, it is a lesser of two evils. It is not to be taken lightly. Bianca Heilprin Co-Leader of One Dorvik |

| Message | Mr. Chairman, We would agree that early abortions are safer and generally preferable to later abortions, but nevertheless, there are circumstances where a woman needs to access an abortion, and that can sometimes be at a later point in the pregnancy. The circumstances involved can be varying and complicated. There might be an issue to do with the woman's health, or her relationship with her partner, or her economic situation...every case will be different. Anton Weinreich General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |

| Random fact: Party candidates for head of state elections are not visible to the public. This means that you cannot see who will run and who will not, which adds another strategic element to the elections. |
