| Message | We thougth prohibiting abortions during the first trimester was a fair enough compromise, since the foetus' neural system is barely complete at that time. The NRU won't change its position regarding this matter. |
| Date | 20:20:49, October 02, 2006 CET | From | Central Block | To | Debating the Abortion Ban |
| Message | Why are we still discussing this issue? Can't we wait to vote on this till at least after the next elections? |
| Date | 19:47:27, October 04, 2006 CET | From |  Freedom Party | To | Debating the Abortion Ban |
| Message | The leaders of the Freedom Party oppose abortion, we believe it to be murder. However, we also believe that the complete banning of abortion will lead to backstreet abortions and illegal ones putting mothers seriously at risk. Thus we are practical and restrict abortions to the first trimester only as a good compromise. |

| Random quote: "Civil disobedience. . . is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. . Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That's our problem." - Howard Zinn |
