We learned yesterday that students at Georgetown Law find contraception so oppressively expensive that we all must share the cost. What, then, are we to make of this?
Talk about over-sharing. As part of a safe sex marketing campaign for National Condom Week — which exists, apparently — Planned Parenthood gave away 55,000 condoms with smartphone-ready QR codes to college students for online check-ins.
Users can also identify the erotic environs (“Bedroom,” “In the Shower,” “At a Party,” “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles,” etc.) and rate the sex on a five-point scale in real time, which their partners must appreciate. It’s a cute gimmick, but — considering that a quarter of people unroll condoms the wrong way, according to a new study — tagging yourself on Sex Foursquare is less important than not getting pregnant or infected.
How many of these will turn up tagged near Georgetown Law?
Classy, Planned Parenthood. Not.
Our tax dollars, in one way or another, fund this trash.
“Geolocating Condoms”
/guffaw
I knew most Liberals couldn’t locate their own “dangling participle” without a map, but really now. LOL.
Allston!
If you’re gonna say things like that, at least warn people not have liquid in their mouth when they read it!
As the Pukka Sahib wishes.
If you read the link about Ms. Fluke’s testimony regarding the cost burden of contraception to Georgetown coeds, the author’s calculations show that if Ms. Fluke’s claims are true she must be having sex 2.74 times per day.
Ms.Fluke’s testimony was only given to some irrelevant committee chaired by Pelosi. But if any taxpayer money was used for this hearing, House Republicans should make an example of Ms. Fluke by recalling her to defend her amazing testimony before a more serious congressional committee. As a Georgetown law student, Ms. Fluke should welcome the opportunity.
She wasn’t talking about condoms, she was talking about “the pill”, you know estrogen and progestin which costs the same whether you have sex or not, whether you’re taking them for contraception or polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, adenomyosis, menstruation-related anemia, painful menstruation or acne.
She was talking about hormone therapy which she actually need for medical reasons unrelated to contraception.
That didn’t stop Rush Limbah from calling her a slut, so don’t let that discourage you.
As for 1/4 of condom users unrolling it the wrong way, well: a nurse-practitioner told me with a straight face about a couple she saw that could not understand why the girl was pregnant: “they” took the pill.
“WHaddaya mean, ‘they’?”
“Yes, indeed. I wondered myself: turns out they took turns taking it.”
I think we can deduce that “they” were the beneficiaries of abstinence-only sex education.
Virtue in action!
Well, Josh, I volunteered as a counselor at a center for women in crisis and I regularly gave free pregnancy tests to young inner city women who had received a lifetime of pro-sex public school sex education. They had free contraception available to them, including Depo-provera and the ring, and chose not to use it because “they didn’t like it”.
Vice in action!!!
