Condom Necklace Sparks Outrage at Fair
"We talked to them today and asked them not to do that," said Borovansky. "We asked them not to flaunt something or make something more than it is."

....

More than 15 people e-mailed or called to complain about the project in which older teens were allowed to make condom necklaces fashioned of nylon netting, condom packets and pipecleaners.

Planned Parenthood representatives said the activity was aimed at removing the stigma and secrecy from contraceptive use.

"The intent is to make condoms a normal part of life," said Paul Robinson, community relations director. "You do what attracts the older youth."

1. But, but...
if you do that, then women will realize they have a right to say what happens to their bodies! And we can't have that, can we? </sarcasm>

2. It's not only about "bodies."
Fertility is a CEO decision. It's about the bottom line. It's about cost/benefit analysis. It's about outsourcing. It's about the best product for the best price.

To make exceptions in the case of fertility only proves that "conservatives'" blatantly and actively seek to disadvantage some for their own benefit.

Sounds like "transfer of wealth" to me.
