| Message | I was trying to think of something eloquent to say but then I realized there wasn't any point. The magnificent 37 march on -- alone! |

| Message | We will not support these as they conflict with our views that a woman has the right to choose whether she has a baby or not, people have the right to die if they so choose, cloning does not do anyone any harm at all and people have the right to put whatever they feel like into their bodies, respectively. |
