“She’s on record saying condoms don’t prevent AIDS”

Let's see if we can help the liberal out on this one (and anyone with a probabilities background is welcome to join in).

According to planed parent hood, a condom is 90% effective at preventing pregnancy.

A woman can only become pregnant approximately 6 days out of every month.

That means a condom only has to work 20% of the time, and during that time, it is only successful 90% of the time.

AIDS is transmissible 100% of the time. My statistics and probabilities haven't been used since college, but I put a condom at about 18% successful at preventing AIDS.

Hardly a ringing endorsement, but it hasn't stopped the government from spending millions to promote “safe” sex!

Don't forget, the HIV virus is MUCH smaller than spermatazoa, and fewer of them have to get through to get the job done.

Finally, most people at risk of AIDS are either drug abusers or eengage in unnatural acts. The prophylactic is much more likely to break in such circumstances.

Show a company that is willing to accept liability for product malfunction and then you might have a case.
