"Safe" Enough?
In the waiting room of one EMC center, a poster contains the following quote:
"When you have sex with someone, you are having sex with everyone they have had sex with for the last ten years, and everyone they and their partners have had sex with for the last ten years."
- C. Everett Koop, M.D., Former U.S. Surgeon General
In a condom-driven culture, promiscuity is to be expected. Those who benefit financially from performing abortions, and encourage abortion, also benefit from the promotion and distribution of condoms. New York City needs what's best. According to the CDC, "The most reliable ways to avoid transmission of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), are to abstain from sexual activity or to be in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with an uninfected partner."
Expectant Mother Care quotes a Former U.S. Surgeon General in promoting what the CDC acknowledges are "the most reliable ways to avoid transmission of sexually transmitted diseases." I encourage the NYC Council to pass a bill mandating that advertising which promotes the use of condoms also include a disclaimer that the safest course of action is either sexual abstinence or a long-term mutually monogamous relationship between two uninfected people. Admitting that condom use isn't the safest course of action may not be politically expedient, but such an admission would discourage STD transmission in the most effective way possible.
