First thing I thought of was “The Shawshank Redemption”. Wasn't that a line?

There was a study done some years ago that came up with the dead on result.

This study said that condoms were “69 percent effective.”

That pretty much says it all if you get my drift.

Of course. PP wouldn’t want to cut too deeply into their abortion business. If they provided a product that worked well, they’d be losing to much money.

Ha ha! Actually, that’s not how they test them. They fill them up with air and see if they burst.

No surprise. In fact, it reminds me of an old bawdy song:

Grandmother makes cheap prophylactics;
She punctures the end with a pin.
Grandfather performs the abortions.
My gawd, how the money rolls in!

Fits their business model to perfection.

Corollary verse:

My mother asks home politicians
To play in a night full of sin.
My father pops in with a camera.
My gawd, how the money rolls in.

I thought Planned Parenthood was all about “protection and safety”. Surely they could afford good condoms with the tax money, donations, and profits they rake in. Of course, they wouldn’t rake in as high of profits if they weren’t doing abortions. Killing babies is where the most money lies. That’s why they promote free sex with bad condoms.

In days of old, when men were bold
And condoms weren't invented
They'd wrap a sock around their ****
Thus babies were prevented

Sorry...couldn't resist!

I don't know how CR does the testing, but the (reputable) condom companies test them by having stretched over a phallus like metal rod and having an electric current try to pass through it to a electrode a certain distance above.

I’m surprised that negative info about PP ever got included in that report.

The CEO of Consumer Reports is about as pro-abortion as they come.
