| Message | I believe there won't be too many concerns with this - I hope at least... |

| Message | It's not the government's job to do this. Much as the LAP are fans of safe sex, we seriously believe that the tax augmentation we'd need to implement to realistically fund this would be massive. It's unfair that everyone should pay so that some people can get cheap jonnies and pills. |

| Message | It's just as much about curbing the spread of STDs as it is about unwanted pregnancy. For the sake of public health and living standards we will support this bill. |

| Message | By refusing to subsidize contraceptives, we hold prone the poorer citizens of Rutania to increased numbers of unwanted pregnancies and the spread of sexually-transmitted diseases. |
