Planned Parenthood Condoms Rank with the Worst

A study done by Consumer Reports has Planned Parenthood (PP) scrambling to spin the results. Pro-life advocates have accused PP of providing poor condoms to people knowing they will fail. That in turn provides the abortion industry continued traffic. Although the study certainly doesn't prove their case, PP definately felt the sting of the news when it was leaked.

Clearly you have never sampled the wares at a Planned Parenthood Clinic. An acquaintance of mine who works at one is always bringing home goody-bags of condoms to pass around in her neighborhood. These are bags containing just about every brand imaginable. Like the pharmaceutical industry for doctors, these samples are provided to PP by the suppliers at little or no cost. It's not the least bit surprising that a brand or two may have inferior quality.

Don't you feel any embarrassment by reporting such hooie? No pang of conscience? If Planned Parenthood were interested in generating more unplanned pregnancies all they need to do is close up shop. Then abortions could be marketed only to those who could afford to pay handsomely. That would be a real moneymaker. But instead, the clinic staff genuinely cares about the wellbeing of the clients. They are all over the prevention of unwanted pregnancy to the point that they provide information on all the options, not just the few that are sanctioned by so-called Christian groups.

This is directly off of PP's website:

"Consumer Reports tested three types of Planned Parenthood condoms by filling them with pressurized air for an article comparing 23 different condoms. The same tests and standards, however, were used to judge condoms that differed widely in size, thickness, and lubrication. Widely different results from air-burst, not real-life, testing were inevitable.

In fact, two of the Planned Parenthood condoms that got very different scores are only packaged differently — they are, in fact, made with exactly the same formula. One scored "excellent." The other, exactly the same formulation, only scored "fair." While the third product scored a comparative "poor," all the condoms tested, including the three styles of Planned Parenthood condoms, were shown to be acceptable within industry standards."

I don't know about the "goody-bags" of condoms that your friend hands out, but PP obviously takes responsibility for the 3 condoms tested by CR.

If PP was so concerned about providing their patients with "all" the options...why is it that their own Factsheet (found @ www.plannedparenthood.org) mentions absolutely nothing about abstinence? Instead they provide reasons for getting an abortion. They point out that 29% of all pregnancies in America are aborted and that 98% of their patients experiences NO adverse effects.

The only one who should have a "pang of conscience" is the one encouraging the killing of so many voiceless babies.
