Reply #8: I've read that. But getting a STD can cause cancer, too... [View All]

I don't know what the odds are for getting cancer from condoms versus getting cancer and other health problems from STDs:

Many STDs can lead to health problems later on if they are not found and treated. Being infected with HPV can increase a woman's risk of cervical cancer. Chlamydia can lead to infertility and long-term pain in women by damaging the Fallopian tubes, which are an important part of the reproductive system. HIV/AIDS eventually destroys the immune system, leading to an increased risk of infections, cancers, and death.

People (unmarried or married) will always have sex. There is nothing those fundies can do about it. Even their teens will do it sooner or later. I'd rather have teens and adults to be informed about condom use than saying "don't do it" ... we all know that doesn't work.
