With just a few clicks of a mouse, kids as young as 12 can have free condoms delivered to their doors in California.
News of the program's expansion to two new counties comes as the federal government approves the "morning-after pill" without a prescription for girls as young as 15.

The Condom Access Project has been around for a year. Late last month, it expanded to San Diego and Fresno counties, bringing the number of counties it serves to seven.
As part of the project, anyone between 12 and 19 years old in those counties can confidentially request a pack of 10 condoms online, up to once a month. It's similar to Planned Parenthood programs that offer free condoms to teens who come to the organization's health centers.
With each order, teens also receive personal lubricant to reduce breakage as well as educational information, said the California Family Health Council, which runs the Condom Access Project.
So far, the program has sent nearly 30,000 condoms to youths via home mailers in the past year.

Back in more innocent days, at 12, I still thought boys had cooties.
Just wait......printable condoms...
You KNOW it’s coming.
Gotta do something to protect our yute during the three year span until 15 year old girls are allowed to buy their OTC morning-after pills at the pharmacy.
If I was in calf I would send off for them, if ever one who thinks this is a bad idea sent for them they would run out.
