Bill: Abolition of Subsidies for Contraception Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Catholic Political Union
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: February 3266
Description[?]:
| Our culture of contraception has led to promiscuous sex, sexually-transmitted diseases, family breakdown and a general deterioriation in levels of moral sensitivity. Contraception should not be subsidised. As well as being harmful, it runs deeply against the religious and moral principles of many Telamonese tax-payers who are having to pay for it. |

Article 1
Proposal[?] to change Government policy on subsidising contraception.
Old value:: The government offers free contraceptives in pharmacies and public toilets.
Current: The government offers free contraceptives in pharmacies and public toilets.

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The DAP feels this move to be far too extreme a change. We would support a compromise bill, reducing state involvement to only subsidizing contraceptives, to reduce the burden on taxpayers, but we suspect this would not mollify the CPU. |
