| Message | My fellow peers, Could a member of this house please give a reasonable explanation as to why the entire course of the pregnancy should be up for discussion? To abort a baby at 8 months, or even 9 months why is that acceptable? The procedure required to perform such a action is repugnant and barbaric and it should not be allow to be used by any civilised society! Furthermore, why should the government provide funding for an elective procedure such as abortions? It is not a requirement to survive amd some in this room would argue that it does the exact opposite. I urge you to vote against this bill Landon Granderson Leader of the Opposition |

| Message | My fellow Peers, Because a women would only use it for emergency reasons in the third trimester, no women would suddenly change their mind the day before the baby is born unless if it was an emergency.As for abortion funding, that's because abortion is healthcare, and in Gaduridos we have a free healthcare system, but people that can afford it can use privatized healthcare as well.
