| Message | Absolutely not. Protecting life should be our first priority, so unless the mother's health is endangered more than the child's, abortion should not be allowed except in cases of involuntary pregnancy. |
| Date | 02:55:38, July 09, 2006 CET | From | Iqembu Sokusebenzisana Yeningi | To | Debating the Abortion Act of January 2251 |
| Message | The IPC position is that allowing abortion after viability is indefensible and inhumane. It's one thing when the mother would be required to carry the child, but in the third trimester, when the fetus can be sustained outside the womb if needed? We don't see how allowing this serves anyone's interest. |

| Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
| Random quote: On 7th February 4281 a group of renowned Metzist experts from all across Terra met in Haldor to form the International Committee for the Estimation of the End Date of Capitalism (ICEEDC). With the assistance of a powerful computer, they calculated that capitalism will terminate Terra-wide on 6th November 4320, and in Dorvik on April 17th 4310. We have no reason whatsoever to believe these very eminent and learned scholars are wrong. They have never been wrong about anything before. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer, General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
