| Message | I would support article two alone |
| Date | 02:16:17, April 03, 2007 CET | From | Moderate Republican Party | To | Debating the Revitalizing the Nation |
| Message | The only article with which we strongly disagree with is article four. Currently, many major U.S. cities offer free contraceptives at public places in hopes of preventing unwanted births. Supplying free contraceptives would prevent a young couple from needing to make a decision on whether or not to abort their baby. Also, it will decrease the amount of children being raised in a poverty-stricken, violent area. |
