| Message | Mr. Speaker, Nothing on this legislation is giving women more priviliges. In fact, many of these proposals are taking away womens' rights! Frank Stalno, GPP Leader |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We in the EAPP find it quite telling that the leaders of the Green Party seem to know nothing of modern feminism and its goals. They really ought to consider returning to the centuries they came from, reactionaries as they are. Do the Lodamese really have to suffer because of their backwards deficiencies in questions like slavery or women's rights? We think not. Hellebard Tomski-Reagjin, EAPP Women's Organisation |
| Date | 20:02:55, December 19, 2019 CET | From | Lodamese Democratic Progressive Party | To | Debating the Women Protection Act I |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, We would ask the EAPP Women's Organization exactly how they define "modern feminism and its goals". This legislation would heavily restrict a woman's rights. Of the most glaring examples; prohibiting divorce would ensnare a woman within their marriage even if problems arise and they want out, strictly defining marriage as has been proposed would ensure that they can only marry if it is with a man even if they may love another woman, and prohibiting them from working full time jobs would greatly restrict their employment opportunities and ability to support themselves and/or their families. We urge our fellow colleagues of the Chamber to strike down this atrocious bill, this attack on women's rights. Frank Stalno, GPP Leader |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We belive that every woman has a right to stay at home meanwhile man must provide food and shelter to his family. It is a privilege. But Green party, which is very patriarchal, will not accept such fact as they promote outdated and oppressing policies. Do we really have to remind you that we are the oldest party which stands for women's rights and have done so since our party was formed. We think our party has much more experience in fighting for women's rights than you. We suggest you to not speak on a topic you have no knowledge of. It is a known fact that men seek for younger and more attractive women and therefore adultery and divorces must be banned - to save our women from psychological pain and suffering. Bassaam al-Azzi Candidate for Health and Social Services |
