I remember seeing a video on the quality control process at Trojan. One of the tests was to take a condom and stretch it over a broomstick. Those condoms could be stretched about three feet without breaking.
Of course Planned Parenthood (PP) gives out ineffective birth control. There is not a lot of money in birth control, but each abortion is worth hundreds. Selling baby parts brings in even more profit.
When I was in high school, someone from PP came to “educate” the biology class about birth control and pregnancy. I will never forget that—exaggerating the dangers of birth control while claiming that abortion is perfectly safe; claiming that a late 2nd or 3rd trimester abortion would completely cure menstrual cramps because pregnancy stretches the uterus; laughingly equating the fetus with a sperm or egg while joking that some people even claim those are alive; suggesting that birth control is so likely to fail you might as well not bother with it anyway; teaching about the “natural” method of birth control by describing the signs of ovulation as the safest time to have unprotected sex.
I have never forgotten that. I didn’t understand it all at the time (I was 15), but as I grew older and wiser, I figured it out. I don’t think PP has changed at all in the ensuing decades. PP uses high pressure sales tactics to drive its abortion business. Regardless of any claims that it provides health care and birth control, those are minor aspects of its operation which it only does for propaganda purposes—its core business is to sell abortion.
I wonder if they are made in Mexico or China.
