Jewish Group Protests Condom Campaign

Submitted by Anonymous, Feb 21, 2008 13:36

Kudos to Agudath Israel and to the Catholic League for injecting some much-needed common sense into the public discourse about sexual health. Condoms are not the cure-all to unplanned pregnancies, HIV and other venereal diseases, and the epidemic of fatherless families in New York City. However, abstinence from sexual activity outside of marriage would solve all three of those problems. This campaign is tasteless, ill-advised, and wasteful of city residents' tax dollars.
