| Message | if you believe the deliberate extinction of a 1day old life is murder it is undeniable that the extinction of a -1day old life is equally so , this bill legalises murder , you've yet to put up any kind of sensible case for this thus I will continue to support abortion only for the first 2 trimesters |

| Message | The Nihilist Fascist Collegiality questions the UCLP - how can you claim to be Communist and support infanticide? |

| Message | The idea that abortion constitutes infantificide is utterly preposterous and the only reasonable point to consider the beginning of human life is it birth. This bill is simply about creating a more equal society by giving women full control over their bodies and no state ever has the right to take that away from its citizens. |

| Message | I agree we don't the state must protect that right as well as refraining from infringing upon it. By what logic do you say birth is a good point to define human life? say theres a rock that at some point turns into a man during the course of 2weeks (ignore potential life as it doesnt fit the analogy) on the first day the entity is undeniably a rock without any kind of consciousness we can relate to yet on the last day the entity will undeniably be human with all the rights implied , killing the entity at this point i unutilitarian regardless of the entities location as noones right to control their body should overide anyone elses. We are faced with assigning a day in this 2week period at which point it is illegal to murder the entity yet between the first and last day we cannot know if they are rock or human , I propose the risk of destroying a human life is to great and thus say once the first day has passed its murder , you say its ok during all 14 days even though it is guaranteed to be murder on some of those days. It just doesn't seem logical. Day before pregnancy abortions really are infanticide plain and simple no less so than knifing a newly born baby. |

| Message | If a child can be killed a day before birth, why not legalise murder? There are competing definitions of freedom, and extremism in any one is damaging to humanity as a whole. |
| Date | 20:03:00, June 22, 2005 CET | From | Democratic Socialists of Endralon | To | Debating the Freedom of Choice Reaffirmation Act |
| Message | For as long as the foetus remains inside the womb it can only be considered as part of a woman's body and not as an independent human. It is a fundamental part of the struggle for equality between the sexes that women have full control over their own fertility and are never forced to give birth against their will, something men have always been free from. |
