| Message | Ma'am Prime Minister, and Congress; While I understand your concerns, and understanding my party is not part of this Congress, we must speak. This bill should specify on how the prosecution will proceed in these cases. Are both siblings were going to be prosecuted in any case? What if this pregnancy is the result of rape. We must protect the victim in that case, and I propose we should add a clause that does so. Myrna Villajuana, Socialist Party |
