| Message | Interesting that the Kokuryū-shakai supports a restriction on adultery but offers free contraception. Where does the party plan to allocate the funds for these subsidized and nationalized programs? |

| Message | Maybe we will fund our nationalization programs by seizing the assets of the internationalists who plunder our country for profit. |

| Message | Why oppose Article 6? Does the Teikoku Kōmeitō support the mutilation of the mentally ill? We should be finding another way to help these misfortunate members of our society instead of giving into what they want when they obviously of not sane mind and soul. |

| Message | While we support most of this bill, Article 6 seems to be an unnecessary and unrelated rider. We will therefore vote no in the hopes that a similar bill—without the mentioned article—will be proposed. |
| Date | 21:08:46, April 14, 2019 CET | From | Kokuryū-shakai 黒龍社会 | To | Debating the Health Reform Feburary 4559 |
| Message | Why wouldn't Article 6 be related to a bill proposing Health Reform in Sekowo? What reason do you have to oppose such a bill? |
| Date | 23:21:29, April 15, 2019 CET | From | 立憲維新党 (Rikken Ishin-tō) | To | Debating the Health Reform Feburary 4559 |
| Message | We believe the issue raised in Article 6 is not a health issue, but a liberty (or perhaps a religious) issue. |
