| Message | Strongly opposed, conservative parents would prefer not to talk with their children about contraceptives, whereas it is important they know about them! |

| Message | Against. We would give thought to giving schools the choice on whether or not to teach sexual education, but this is just restrictive AND harmful. |

| Message | "They'll fear teenage pregnancy and will." No they won't, they'll just talk them into joining the "silver ring thing", which does not work. Research has shown that in more than 80% of the cases the participants do have sex before their marriage. |
