| Message | Abortion is and is worse than murder it is the prevention of life.The unborn child would be given it's rights at birth which is the "begining" of life even though scientificaly conseption is the beging of life.By abortion you take a "scientific" life. And since we are all scientificaly life, what is the difference between abortion and murder? |

| Message | Perhaps we could compromise? Might you agree to changing your proposal to "Abortion is legal only in the cases of rape, danger to the mother's life or severe birth defect?" |

| Message | We National Reformists see it another way. Given the fact that until the first trimester, the nervous system of the foetus is practically non-existent, then it wouldn't be "conscious". Besides, our body eliminates some 80,000 cells each minute, so don't go and tell that we're murdering them as well. We may change the value to "first trimester only", but nothing less. |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
