From | Christian Liberal Party | To | Debating the Contraception Bill | Message | I'm not sure whether this is good or not. Offering contraceptives at a lower price would more than likely decrease the birth rate, and seeing as the whole point of sex is as a method of reproduction, we should be making it harder to get contraceptives, not easier. |

From | Christian Liberal Party | To | Debating the Contraception Bill | Message | Well that's all well and good, but in case you haven't noticed, the majority of the population of Hutori aren't dolphins. |

From | Christian Liberal Party | To | Debating the Contraception Bill | Message | I don't think that the people of Hutori are going to appreciate their sexual activities being compared to those of dolphins. |

From | Christian Liberal Party | To | Debating the Contraception Bill | Message | We would be prepared to support this bill if it included a proposal that teenagers would be educated about the true meaning of sex in schools. |

From | Christian Liberal Party | To | Debating the Contraception Bill | Message | If you mean the bill on teaching sex education, then that does not go far enough. All it teaches teenagers is that sex is fun and a joke. They need to be taught otherwise. |

From | First Socialist Party | To | Debating the Contraception Bill | Message | Heh... you obviously do not know the nature of the sex education under the Sanctaphrax Party then. Trust me, our sex education is very scare. |

From | Communist Party | To | Debating the Contraception Bill | Message | We will vote for this bill if it is impossible to get the proposal for free and easy distribution of contraceptives passed ... as we imagine it is. |
Date | not recorded |
From | | To | Debating the Contraception Bill | Message | We vote no as it is not the place of the government to massively subsidize industry who doesn't need it. |

Random fact: Cultural Protocol bills must provide a real-life equivalent or short description for the ethnic groups, languages and religions contained in them, such that it would be easy for an unfamiliar player to understand (e.g. "Dundorfian = German"). Where appropriate, they should also provide guidance to players on where to find help with translations and character names. This might include, for example, links to Google Translate, Behind the Name's Random Name Generator and Fantasy Name Generators. |
