Message | User-pays also increase STD and unwanted pregnancies. |

Message | A system of complety free contraceptives does not exclude STD and unwanted pregnancies neither. Let us not talk about them in this debate because it is little relevant here. To solve the problem of STD and unwanted pregnancies, it seems me far more efficient to invest in prevention campaigns. |

Message | Prevention campaigns. Like... free contraceptives? People are always more likely to use something if it's free. And anyway, what "abuses" are we trying to prevent, exactly? |

Message | Prevention is not the same as offer something for free. Following your logic "People are always more likely to use something if it's free" we should make everything free? If we follow that logic, we are far from home. User-pays leads to responsibilisation of all kinds. |

Message | Uh? If preventatives are more available, people will use them more. Thus disease spreads less. Go figure. Perhaps you could give some specific examples of the "responsibilisation" that user-pays contraception leads to? |

Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
