| Message | Your reasoning behind articles 2 and 3 make little sense. Contraceptives are currently free, but you intend to increase their use by charging for them? In what world do you live? And your bill descriptor concerning artcile 3 makes no sense at all. You intend to make drug laws more progressive by banning certain drugs, how does that work exactly? |
| Date | 07:57:04, December 25, 2006 CET | From | National Imperial Hobrazian Front | To | Debating the Health Policy of Hobrazia |
| Message | Article 1 and 3: The government has no right to monitor what its citizens put into their bodies voluntarily. Period. Plus, prohibition has been proven to increase crime and other unsightly social conditions. When a black market demand arises, business disputes end with dead bodies and not the Hobrazian judicial system. Someone who wants to drink beer or smoke crack doesn't care who they get it from- either from a legitimate business that can be monitored by the state or from some thug who monitors with his Glock. Which would you really prefer? Article 2: Since sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies especially effect low-income people, this article makes little sense coming from a socialist party. By ensuring unbridled access to condoms, the government gives the people an option to reduce STDs and unplanned pregnancies without economic detriment. These proposed policies are backwards. |

| Message | I must confess it is a strange bill. 1 is far too heavy handed; 2 and 3 are just bizzare. |
