condom expose

An interesting article from Human Life International with statistics on condoms.

Here's an excerpt from the conclusion:

"If parachutes had the abysmal safety record that condoms do, skydiving would have been outlawed long ago.  Add to this the fact that tens of thousands of people die of AIDS and other sexually‑transmitted diseases for every person who dies in a parachuting accident, and it is obvious that we are suffering from a major case of worldwide myopia.  It is also obvious that most people would choose sudden death by parachute failure than a lingering, hideous wasting away at the `hands’ of the AIDS virus.

     Condom promoters often make the following analogy.

     If your child was in an airplane that was going to crash, wouldn’t you want him or her to have a parachute, even if it was only 90 percent effective?

     This is obviously a false analogy.

     If you, as a parent, already know that the airplane your children want to fly on is unsafe and will probably crash, your only realistic option is to stop him or her from boarding it in the first place!

     Good Housekeeping Magazine will not even accept condom advertisements, because they are not reliable enough for its “Seal of Approval.”[60]

     Apparently, when it comes to birth control, anything goes.  What is apparently important is not whether or not you are safe, but whether or not you think you are safe."
