| Message | Oh holy cow, I forgot that the anti-abortion legislation went through. A few in-game years ago, abortions were completely unregulated and permittted. Strong for, and we push for abortion in all trimesters. |

| Message | Personally I am for abortions in all trimesters, but as the bill certainly wouldnt get through in that format, I am leaving it as only the first trimesters. I shall press for a longer time limit further down the line, but at the moment I want to get the law through to allow abortions as an option. |
