| Message | Abortion anyway is killing life; therefore it should only be legal in cases of medical emergencies. We are strictly against abortion, but only if the pregnancy means danger to the mothers life, abortion should be allowed. Public health is or should be part of common property. We don't believe in the need for private clinics, when we have a capable Government that entirely controls the health service. The third proposal deduces from proposal two. Therefore the Government also needs all possibilities to control the health care sector. We hope you support our proposals as another step towards a more equitable solution on our public health. |

| Message | We support proposals two and three, but we are pro-choice so we can't support the bill as long as proposal number one is attached. |

| Message | We are against all three articles. the first forces an individual to have unwanted children, and possibly carry a child of a rapist. The second limits choices. If individuals wish to opt out of the national system, it a method of permitting them the freedom of choice and to be taxed for their share of the cost of a national system, while reducing the strain on it. The third removes control of regulations from those who are most affected by them. Workplace regulations should be set by the workers and the company so that they may be locally enforced and clearly regulated. |
