It is my opinion that lack of information is one of the biggest causes of unwanted/teenage pregnacies. maybe: the commercials are deemed offensive - hard to see why since the networks seem quite willing to advertise feminine protection, a class of commercials deemed offensive if not at least embarrassing by most people I know. the commercials take up time which might be better "served" (ie: purchased) by corporate sponsers - very likely in my view, in some people's minds, money does make the world go round while there is much 'implied' sex on the screen, the commercials are to blatent. - remember, there are a lot of people out there who feel that contraceptives 'promote' illicit sex. The contents of t.v. usually just implies that it happens. are the networks in the wrong?? YES! -- 4 222 4 4 2 2 4 4 2 would you say that this is a result of 44444 22 the "do-it if it feels good" generation? 4 2 -- i've got five bucks riding on it 4 2 4 22222 decvax!{utzoo|watmath}!deepthot!zaphod (Lance Bailey @ UWO Comp Sci, London, Canada)
