| Date | 00:07:41, January 31, 2018 CET | From | Progress Party—The Greens | To | Debating the Protection of Children Act, April 4341 |
| Message | We understand the good intentions behind this but we fear the implications of a government mandated test in order to gain legitimate reproductive rights. We feel there are far better ways to insure childrens’ safety than subjecting adults to test—a test that could easily be tailored by the government to control certain groups’ reproduction—to gain the right to have children or otherwise subject them to surveillance. It’s a violation of basic liberty. |

| Message | This isn't eugenics and doesn't prohibit reproduction. It simply makes parents who are determined unable to raise children alone have to submit to checks to ensure the safety of the children. It isn't a violation of basic liberty, it is an assurance of safety. |
| Date | 01:27:13, February 01, 2018 CET | From | United Worker's Front | To | Debating the Protection of Children Act, April 4341 |
| Message | Although reactionary in nature and Sentiment, I see nothing restricting the rights and liberties of the Kalistani people, however, the Greens do have a point that the test results could easily be doctored by the government in power to restrain the population growth among either minorities or political groups who do not align with theirs. The UWF votes no. |

| Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |
