	I really can't see why the networks are banning these
commercials.  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!
