The Kelly Ayotte for Senate campaign is making an appeal to young voters this week — by handing out condoms.

From a table at the University of New Hampshire, the Republican incumbent’s campaign is touting Ayotte’s commitment to making birth control more accessible through free condoms, according to the campaign.

Did anyone actually read the sign?

I guess not

Making birth control (IE the pill) over the counter would save insurance and health care costs billions a year and the costs of these monthly pills would drop to less then a bottle of Tylenol

Birth control pill is expensive and insurance pays for it (all of us eventually) so making it over the counter, the price will drop, just like Claritin and others that did this, and women can actually afford. Usually a fraction of the co-pay that they are paying now.

They can relax, the government is not paying for them.

See, see! If she doesn’t do this, Democrats will call her “anti-choice” and she’ll lose millennial voters? Do you purists really want the Rat to win? < /S >

You shouldn't give up so easily; I'm sure you're perfectly capable. As your profile says: "A self proclaimed conservative deep in the People’s Republic of New Jersey, the Tax It state".

Surely a self-proclaimed conservative can expound on conservative positions regarding sex and condom use.

What is more, I’m sure many Freepers would be very interested in hearing about your self-proclaimed conservative positions regarding condom use and sex.

“Not sure what position Kelly plays, though.”

I’m guessing face down, *** up.

I can help. Condoms can be used when a married couple doesn’t t want a pregnancy. Not everyone is Catholic.

Unfortunately, that's not a perfect solution, neither for pregnancy avoidance, nor for avoiding HIV/AIDS.

The failure of condoms to provide perfect protection against HIV/AIDS is suggested by studies of condom use for the prevention of pregnancy. Approximately 3% of couples who reported using condoms consistently and correctly (considered perfect use) are estimated to experience an unintended pregnancy during the first year of use.* If sperm can find their way around the latex barrier, then so, presumably, can the AIDS virus.

at least for the boys, unless she has some cute little girls to go along with those condoms, she’s done

Nothing is perfect. What’s your point?

Birth control pills fail, vasectomies fail, tubal ligation fail.

Again, what’s your point?

Nothing is perfect, that's true. Jumping out of an airplane with a parachute is a risk, so is the risk of getting HIV/AIDS. If one wishes to take that risk, that's fine. My point? Understand the risks. Don't think that condoms are perfect.

To further complicate matters, the presumed protection resulting from using a condom may lead to behavioral changes that completely negate the protection. For example, an individual who believes that consistent and correct use of condoms provides near-absolute protection against HIV/AIDS may engage in recklessly promiscuous behavior that they would otherwise avoid. Why? Because they have been led to believe that, by practicing safe sex, they are immune from contracting the disease. In this way, the rate of HIV/AIDS transmission may not be reduced at all by the safe sex message, but actually increase over time.

Thank you Laura Ingraham for your support of this pathetic RINO back in 2010.

Sorry, I am not going to preach to ADULTS what they should or should not do in the bedroom. That is not my place, nor your place.

This is a loser topic for us, move on and win in November

You have real issues. I suggest you seek help. You may not be able to use condoms responsibly. That doesn’t mean no one else can.
