| Message | This bill is against personal freedom and individuality. It would on the contrary increase problems at marriages as there would be no way out from it, leading into severe consequences. |
| Date | 17:55:48, January 17, 2007 CET | From | Dorvish Popular Front | To | Debating the Divorce Reform Act, 2346 |
| Message | This bill puts the Greater Glory of Dorvik over any individuals impulse. Divorce is an easy option and creates problems. If there were no divorce, people would be forced to reconcile their differences through compromise which is what democracy is all about. Whilst we support personal freedom, we do not support the personal freedom to destroy the traditional family unit which impacts upon any children the couple may have and our nation as a whole. |
