| Message | The topics in articles 1,3, and 4 do not need to be funded by the government. Especially for 1 and 4, the government should not be funding something that is a private decision that should be carried out by a parent's own funding. Article 6 can only create a horrible situation where people over react to non-threats and only make the person's condition worse. We support article 2 We also currently don't have a strong opinion regarding article 5. |

| Message | Article 1: The right honourable gentlemen is surely aware that not regulating it, or funding it will cause severe problems when it comes to medical problems. Homeless women, who cannot afford a home should not be expected to carry a child of rape to full term due to financial constraints. In addition the birth of child into poverty is not wanted and if we do not help these women then we could end up with an orphan crisis. Article 3: It is important today that we have diverse ability nation allowing us to keep public health up (and national efficiency as well) but also give us the best athletes for sporting events internationally. Article 4: By ensuring everyone has easy and free access to contraceptives we can effective limit the spread of STI's and also children thus abortion funding needn't be so large. Article 5: It is important that we recognise that some of the young thugs and tearaways in communities make life hell for people. There is a definite like between violent crime and drug abuse and over 50% of severe crimes are liked to drug abuse. It is important that we act tough now to halt this evil in our midst. In regards to Article 6, It is important that some individuals who have schizophrenic or depressive tendencies are not left unmonitored able to harm others and themselves. It is not an over reaction to protect our people from dangerous individuals who suffer isolated. |

| Message | Article 1: There will always be children born into poverty and with financial constraints; there is not much we can do about that. However, if your main concern is medical problems, then change the law to only fund abortions for medical problems. My party will consider supporting this article if you do as such. Article 3: My party sees what you mean to accomplish with the law, we will also reconsider this bill as well. Article 4: There is no overpopulation crisis in our country, so more children is not an issue, and if individuals are worried about contracting STI's, they can either refrain from having sex or fund themselves for their own protection. The government does not need to be their parent. Article 5: We do not need to eliminate all drugs, however, if we restrict them and only allow one type of drug, then maybe my party can support this bill. Article 6: Most of the time, detaining a mentally ill person is the worst thing to do to them. My party cannot support this version of the bill. |

| Message | Article 1: Medical complications are my main concern as it will effect the efficiency of the nations industry. Article 3: I am glad you can consider it and if you accept it as a result I will remove article 6. Article4: As much as I agree with the Right honourable gentle,men regarding the population crisis, What I meant is reduce the unplanned births that could bring a large number of the working class out of employment temporaily leaving citizens in difficult financial situations. Article 5: I would allow a compromise between clamping down on drugs and the liberalisation of Class C drugs. Article 6: See 3 |

| Message | My party will not support this bill unless Article 1 is changed to only fund for medical emergencies, Article 4 is removed, and Article 5 is changed, or if your party proposes a different bill with the article my party backs, then we will vote for that bill. |
| Date | 04:07:55, May 08, 2018 CET | From | Conservative Party of Vorona | To | Debating the The National Health Service Act |
| Message | Article 1: The government does not need to fund something when we are running a large debt Article 2: The government providing free medical care will raise taxes so much in the end that people would be better off using private health care Article 3: The Federal government has much bigger concerns than that of sports and therefore should be left to local governments Article 4: Contraceptives are fairly cheap and people can buy them by themselves Article 5: No opinion Article 6: Couldn't care less Consensus: The Conservative Party of Vorona will not vote for this bill |
