Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Message | We are against this proposal. We are against pre-marital sex together, but unfortuantly kids may be too embarrassed to go to a store to buy a condom. Subsidies towards condoms and such, is much better then an unplanned pregnancy due to their idiocy. |

Message | Conservatives: Kids don't need to go to a store to get condoms, they can get them from a machine in public toilets etc, Also do you think that kids will be less embarrassed to go to a store or clinic and ask for condoms than they would be to go and buy them? I doubt it. TCP: subsidies are generally unfair as they distort the market and for something like condoms they are unnecessary |

Message | Well in the US you can't get them from public restrooms. They are only sold in stores. That's probably why he put that. But since this is Telamon we could certainly do that. |

Message | UCA: We come from different area, hence how your contraceptives are given, and how ours are, are very different. |
