| Message | I believe that the second trimester blurs the line further between pro-choice and pro-life, and that the first trimester is adequate time for a woman to make a decision regarding the future of her pregnancy. THe OCP will not be supporting this motion. |
| Date | 03:23:52, November 17, 2006 CET | From | Divine Party of the Republic | To | Debating the Abortion act |
| Message | We must agree with the OCP, though we would hold out that abortions to save the mother's life or undue suffering could be done during the second trimester |
