From | Free Democratic Party | To | Debating the Women's Freedom of Choice Act | Message | The foetus can survive outside the womb at any time during the third trimester. To deny it its basic right to life is nothing short of murder. This is no different to killing a two month old baby. |

From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Women's Freedom of Choice Act | Message | "Women should be able to abort in the third trimester when a continued pregnancy or a birth would result in physical and/or mental harm to the mother and/or fetus/child." |

From | Social Conservative Party | To | Debating the Women's Freedom of Choice Act | Message | If it was really the description we'd be voting on, it would be a hard call. However, the proposal is written way more radical. And in the end, it's the proposal that counts. |

Random quote: "If we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people to not kill each other? Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want."
