Description[?]:
| A progressive reform to health laws. Article 1; We do not believe the government has any place telling a woman what she can do with her body. Article 2; It should be obvious that the purchase of contraceptives can be embarrassing, leading to unwanted pregnancies and the associated problems with that. Therefore we believe the government should provide these in more discrete places for free. Article 3; We believe that Healthcare is a fundamental right, and as such people should not have to pay for medicines. This will also help curtail the Pharmaceutical Industries 'useless drug' scheme by reducing there funding. |

Its not that embarassing, a lot of people are proud when they buy them, plus charities hand them out, and those with a brain buy contraceptives if they want sex, getting over their fear of embarrassment. |

| Message | We also concur wholeheartedly with the Moderate Coalition, this widens the gap between the rich and the poor. |

| Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
