| Message | The aim of this bill is not to promote abortion,on the contrary it is to protect the unborn child (third time condition ),but everyone knows that unfortunately exists social conditions that do not allow the mother to raise the child by herself (poor unemployed single mothers;school-girls),in situations like these abortion could mean a quack doctor in a dirty,sleazy back- alley room.This bill will eradicate these sub-standard horrible practises.This bill is NOT a programme of population control,that might have been painful in the extreme (example:forcible sterilization) and certainly not human,this bill is only a mean of social assistance to those mothers who cannot raise a child in an acceptable standard of living. |

| Message | We would support such a measure if we change it to the first time is paid entirely by the state (we have a national health care system so it is not that much to add abortion to it), the second is at 67% subsidy with the exception of rape or health issue, future occurances shall be paid by the individual. |

| Message | Abortion must be legal during the first and second trimesters, not only during the first. This is an infringement on the rights of women. |

| Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
