| Message | We support article 1 as it will allow all familaies to raise their children without the threat of poverty, however we oppose article 2 as we believe it is important to limit our population to avoid an excessive strain being placed on our resources. |

| Message | Actually, human life is one of the greatest resources any country can have. I hardly think that the costs of education and healthcare will outweigh the benefits that higher population can bring about. There's a greater potential for our country to have more great scientists, teachers, artists, and leaders. |

| Message | Much as we support apple pie, the flag , and motherhood; we must oppose this bill as it puts the government into areas it needs not concern itself with. If it is not necessary to act, it is necessary not to act. |
