That does not necessarily mean you should expect condoms from Planned Parenthood to result in unplanned parenthoods. All three of the group's branded condoms -- including one that received a score of "excellent" -- meet minimum safety standards, Consumer Reports said. It is just that two of the group's condoms scored the lowest among 23 kinds in the magazine's air-inflation tests that measured strength and reliability.
TUESDAY Sept. 6 (HealthDay News) -- Most sexually active male American teens say they have no intention of getting a girl pregnant, but more than half also believe it is likely that they will do so within the next six months, a new study finds.
This fatalistic attitude "highlights the need to have a larger conversation about pregnancy, condom use, and what the barriers to condom use might be among male adolescents," said lead researcher Cynthia Rosengard, an assistant professor of medicine at Brown University School of Medicine in Providence, R.I. "We need to help them, so that their actions fall more in line with their plans."
Planned Parenthood affiliates operate nearly 900 health centers in 49 states and the District of Columbia, serving nearly five million women, men, and teenagers each year.
