3. I have two comments . . .

Number one, if it's not politically motivated, why do they hilight Planned Parenthood and their "weak" condom (I'm not sure about you, but I don't inflate my condomes with air before I use them).

Second, what's with the sexist closing remark: "A U.S. government report published last month shows 98 percent of all U.S. women who have had sex have used birth control." Even as a man I have a problem with this statement. Why focus on a percentage of WOMEN who have used birth control, especially in an article about condoms which is a decidedly male contraption? Why is the onus always on women to provide the "safe" in safe sex?
