I didn't think it was true...

But now I have heard it several times over. Seems like a conspiracy to me...

From Eric at Red State:

The latest issue of Consumer Reports ("CR") is out....In its February 2005 issue, CR tests and rates condoms....According to CR, out of 23 condoms tests, two of the three Planned Parenthood condoms rated lowest.

I am shocked, though maybe I shouldn't be. I mean, crappy condoms do work to their advantage. It just seems so...unbelievable. And now, in print, it just seems so sad.

No offense, I am always glad to see people being skeptical. However, does it seem likely that Planned Parenthood is choosing condoms to create more unwanted pregnancies? I am sure they don't need more work, and I have never even heard of someone, pro choice or not, who thought the choice was such a priviledge that they would want to force more women to have to make it. Not to mention the possibility of STDs.
I can understand the argument that they are being cheap, or too lazy to do the research Consumer Reports did, but to accuse an organization whose mission is to help people in some of the most difficult and most joyful times of their lives of trying to "create business" by intentionally bringing pain into people's lives, well I find that mean spirited not the response of healthy skepticism. Crappy condoms work to no one's advantage, except maybe the Catholic Church which stands against condoms. Do you think they would give out crappy condoms to mislead people into doing what they want?
