| Message | Except, of course, the huge tax burden you're laying down on the people. |

| Message | Free contraceptives will not create huge tax burdens that is just a ludicrous statement. Huge tax burdens are created by things like that military budget you guys get passed. |

| Message | The military budget was cut, btw, and the education and healthcare proposals are also much more burdensome, plus we don't need to provide free contraceptives you have no right to buy anything for "free" except at the consent of the property owner. |

| Message | Removing all obstacles for contraceptive use will save us the expenditure of extra abortions. And I repeat claiming that free contraceptives are to be a huge tax burden is folly. |

| Message | It will also lead to a huge waste of contraceptives, people using them instead of balloons, because you have to buy balloons but can get condoms for free :) |

| Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
