| Message | Who mentioned Christianity? Free market economics are pretty secular. We hardly think it is fitting for the government to encourage a lack of self control. |

| Message | Sex does not equate to a lack of self-control. It can easily be as deliberate a decision as anything else, which isn't even the issue anyways. The fact is that people have sex with or without contraceptives. I'd prefer to have them. |
