| Message | Mr. Speaker, The women are not considered inferior to men. Men can't murder babies so why would women have the ability to? This bill won't pass in a million years. Jack Pierson Leader of TPG |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We of the ESRP see the right to abortion as a vital part of having autonomy over one's body, not as a matter of a license to kill. As long as the mother has to put her body into service of delivering a baby, her consent is central to it. Therefore, we firmly believe that abortion in the first and second trimester should be possible. Steward Marrington Leader of the ESRP |
