You guys do realize, without an opt-out provision, this thing never sees the light of day, right?

In Massachusetts? Sure, socons will protest, but who cares?

1. It'd be struck down in the courts.

2. Massachusetts has a lot more socons than you think.

3. More broadly, Massachusetts is a lot more socially conservative than you might think, especially regarding children, sex, and the combination thereof.  The Boston suburbs are overrun with Tipper Gore-esque "think of the children!" types.

But I am morally opposed to the fact that the simplest things like condoms are now being handed out for free.

This sounds like a judgment handed down on the assumption that condoms encourage people to have sex, rather than reduce the societal cost of it.

They do both, obviously (incentives and all).  The social conservative position is that having sex is a "societal cost" all its own.
