| Message | People will have sex anyway -- refusing them contraceptives means more abortions, more unwanted pregnancies... and guess who this affects the most? The poor. As always with you people. Anna Wittke VSP Leader |
| Date | 11:10:08, July 23, 2017 CET | From | Volkspartei für Freiheit und Demokratie | To | Debating the Contraceptives Act of 4245 |
| Message | The current method of making it free is a bad idea because it will raise the cost for whoever does end up paying for it. Furthermore, the minute contraceptives are 'free,' the incentive for drug companies to come up with cheaper versions vanishes. So does their incentive to develop safer, more convenient, male-centered or nonprescription birth control. |

| Random quote: "Capitalism demands the best of every man- his rationality- and rewards him accordingly. It leaves every man free to choose the work he likes, to specialize in it, to trade his product for the products of others, and to go as far on the road of achievement as his ability and ambition will carry him." - Ayn Rand |
