| Message | For once something rational being proposed. Hear hear! First trimester is reasonable. Second gets into debate over foetus awareness, and third is plain murder. I vote yes with no hesitation. |

| Message | modern medical research has shown fairly conclusively there is no loner much debate over second trimester as far as awareness goes which is why I maintain support for 2trimesters no more no less. |

| Message | We agree with the PPP and support allowing abortion only in the first trimester. Contraception is widely available so abortion should never be needed anyway, but it's acceptable in the first trimester. 3 months are more than long enough to decide whether you want to keep the baby or not, don't you think? |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
