| Message | No, no, no. Sex is only for the bearing of children in a marrige. No more, no less. The people do not need to think that sex should be good for anything other. We oppose. |
| Date | 06:20:56, May 13, 2007 CET | From | Party Royale | To | Debating the Contraceptive Subsidies |
| Message | The government's business is not to regulate people's sex lives. Adults in Aloria are free to have sex with whoever they want, for any purpose, and their right to do so is recognized under our laws. Not having contraceptives won't stop people from having sex, but it will stop them from having safe sex. |

| Message | The MLP have no problem with sex just with everybody else paying for it. Sex should be a choice and the government should have no say or influence in it. No sex laws for consenting adults and no freebie contraception paid for with tax dollars either! We oppose this legislation. |
