Fox: Condoms Don't Prevent Pregnancy

Fox: condoms don’t prevent pregnancy.

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/16/business/media/16adco.html?_r=1&oref=slogin

According to a New York Times article, Fox has refused to air a national Trojan condom commercial because it objects “to the message that condoms can prevent pregnancy.” But according to the Food and Drug Administration, “latex condoms greatly reduce the risks of pregnancy” and are “the most effective method for reducing the risk of infection from the viruses that cause AIDS, other HIV-related illnesses, and other STDs.”

2. If it wasn't for over-medicated seniors in nursing homes, Fox wouldn't have
any viewers at all.

5. Not if you wear them on your head
That must be where Fox News viewers put them.

Don't you love this? The most basic sex information and Faux News prefers to not
air it, no doubt in favor of abstinence (only for women of course since the GOP
tells us "men have needs").

19. here's a link
http://www.plannedparenthood.org/birth-control-pregnancy/birth-control/condom.htm

Their statistics are somewhat different:

Of 100 women whose partners use condoms, about 15 will become pregnant during the first year of typical use.* Only two women will become pregnant with perfect use.** More protection against pregnancy is possible if condoms are used with a spermicide foam, cream, jelly, suppository, or film.

*Typical use refers to failure rates when use is not consistent or always correct.
**Perfect use refers to failure rates for those whose use is consistent and always correct.

30. That's the error use rate, if you're perfect it's 99%.
It's not the condoms, it's the people using them. :rofl:

12. Here's the "offensive" ad that's being banned by not only FAUX, but
CBS, and some local stations in Pittsburgh.

Of course, Faux has the most ridiculous excuse for not running it.

They OBJECT to "the message." They don't dispute the fact of pregnancy prevention at all.

28. It's not that they DON'T. It's that they're NOT ALLOWED TO.
Edited on Tue Jul-17-07 05:12 PM by impeachdubya
The Right Wing isn't just opposed to abortion, they're opposed to all contraception. They're opposed to even the idea of contraception. Contraception means people are screwing for enjoyment, and not to make babies.

They consider the pill morally equivalent to abortion. In reality, they'd like to overturn not just Roe, but Griswold--- and outlaw ALL contraception.

Just watch.

I mean really...can they deny that their point is that any intercourse does cause pregnancy, so condom or not you just aren't "safe." Ergo....
