| Message | A fetus is not a life. Even if it was you cannot force a person to use their body to save somebody else. Imagine being told that someone is going to die and only your kidney can save them. Somebody might tell you that it's wrong not to give them your kidney but the government cannot force you to give them your kidney and then pay their Bill's for the next 17 years until adulthood. |
| Date | 21:22:29, August 02, 2018 CET | From | Hosian Democrats | To | Debating the (NP) National Party Bill - Saving Prospective Embryo Regulation Mandate (SPERM Act) |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, This bill has put my party in a difficult position. We recognize the fact that an embryo is a life form, however under development. For example, if we insert toxic substances, as you would do with smoking a sigaret, this embryo will disform and have other defects, as can be seen with not only humans but all life forms. This means that this is certainly a human being that’s alive, thus being a life, but very fragile and in need of good care. From this perspective we would hate to let people kill of this life form. However, we do recognize that a woman will have to raise this baby and will have to be pregnant of it for many months. This gives women many rights, since it alters her life significantly. From this perspective we reject your bill. Since we believe in Hosian values, but also in progressive values, we have to compromise. Therefore we reject this bill, but still verbally discourage abortions and hope women will keep their baby and will be able to raise their children to their best ability. |

| Random quote: On 7th February 4281 a group of renowned Metzist experts from all across Terra met in Haldor to form the International Committee for the Estimation of the End Date of Capitalism (ICEEDC). With the assistance of a powerful computer, they calculated that capitalism will terminate Terra-wide on 6th November 4320, and in Dorvik on April 17th 4310. We have no reason whatsoever to believe these very eminent and learned scholars are wrong. They have never been wrong about anything before. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer, General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
