| Date | 20:29:39, August 14, 2020 CET | From | The Moderates | To | Debating the Abortion Reform Act |
| Message | I guess it's womens vs babies rights technically |
| Date | 20:30:04, August 14, 2020 CET | From | The Moderates | To | Debating the Abortion Reform Act |
| Message | This is more preferable than outright banning of abortions but we will still vote against |
| Date | 20:34:28, August 14, 2020 CET | From | The Moderates | To | Debating the Abortion Reform Act |
| Message | And the only way to 'protect' the rights of a baby would be to ban abortion completely, so that would be against womans rights so there's not really a compromise |

| Message | Well a baby isn't fully built and developed until the second trimester so having an abortion in the first trimester is only removing built up tissue. Not a fully fledged baby. |
| Date | 21:17:33, August 14, 2020 CET | From | The Moderates | To | Debating the Abortion Reform Act |
| Message | Well that might be true, but it is still technically a "baby" but not fully made OOC: By the way is that true I never knew it |
| Date | 22:13:41, August 14, 2020 CET | From | Socialists People’s Party | To | Debating the Abortion Reform Act |
| Message | OOC: yeah it’s kinda basic knowledge. Unless I’m getting confused with brain activity not developments of the baby. Trimester 1: only built up tissue and slight growth Trimester 2: Starts having brain activity and developing limbs Trimester 3/what ever it’s called: almost fully developed (can’t have an abortion here as it’s kinda alive at this point) |

| Message | OOC: Even before that you are terminating a possible life, unless the mothers life is at risk, how is that okay> |

| Message | OOC: ? |
| Date | 23:42:37, August 14, 2020 CET | From | The Moderates | To | Debating the Abortion Reform Act |
| Message | OOC: I knew there was something about it developing during 1st trimester, but I thought it meant that it already developed somethings like heartbeat and brain activity, and also that it was mostly developed during trimester 2 but I didn't know what exactly developed, now it makes sense that the abortion cut off is 12 weeks in lots of places |

| Message | OOC: Heartbeat happens very early. |
| Date | 23:45:45, August 14, 2020 CET | From | Conservative Republican Party | To | Debating the Abortion Reform Act |
| Message | OOC: Also, how is terminating, a life, or even a possible life okay? |
| Date | 11:44:33, August 15, 2020 CET | From | The Moderates | To | Debating the Abortion Reform Act |
| Message | OOC: Well I guess it is kind of about perspectives. For example someone might regard a foetus as a baby, and some people might not. If abortion is legal than it means that people can choose not to (if they thin it's a baby) or to have an baortion (if they dont). |
