15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary sitting
The style is predominantly formal and procedural, particularly during the presentation of the draft bill, where detailed lists and dates are employed. On critical issues, the tone is concerned and occasionally sharp, utilizing rhetorical questions and strong judgments (e.g., "unheard of," "in a strange way") to criticize the value-based framework of the constitutional amendment draft. Responses to questions are sometimes uncertain, acknowledging the absence of specific figures.

15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary session
The rhetorical style is direct, sharp, and challenging, employing powerful questions to dispute the opponent's positions ("Where are the men in this game?"). It utilizes an emotional appeal, questioning the opponent's right to make decisions on behalf of women ("how dare you decide such things for women"). The speaker draws upon personal memory and an anecdotal reference to a previous committee session to illustrate their arguments.
