    who’s the daddy?

    June 18th, 2007 by elenamary

    Maury Povich can host a show “who is the baby’s daddy” where they test multiple men all having unprotected sex to see if they are the daddy.  This airs  at 4pm in the afternoon when kids are getting home from school BUT God forbid they air condom advertisements at night. From the NY Times:

    In a written response to Trojan, though, Fox said that it had rejected the spot because, “Contraceptive advertising must stress health-related uses rather than the prevention of pregnancy.”

    That is right Fox & CBS refused to air condom adds because condoms should only be used for health related uses. What pregnancy isn’t a health-related issue? This wreaks, stinks, of patriarchy bullshit.  Do we really believe Sexuality is for procreation, condoms should only be used for prevention of STDs, and that women and sex can be used to sell alcohol but not contraceptives?

    Guess what I got this little bit of reality for you CBS & Fox; pregnancy is an STD and that is why I volunteer at an abortion clinic.
