| Message | We will support this bill in full. |
| Date | 21:31:15, April 23, 2009 CET | From | Working People's Alliance (Allaway) | To | Debating the Secular Medicine Act |
| Message | We sympathise with this bill. However, we would be more inclined to support the bill if Article 1 was altered to allow the government to offer contraceptives at a considerable discount or at no cost at all. We can't afford to put a price on the sexual health of our nation. |

| Message | Our political movement has opinion that those two things shall not be banned for religious reason. We have no clear preferences otherwise. If you two (or more) can agree on one option for contraceptives proposal then we will change accordingly. |
