LIFESITE, February 25, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The U.S. Planned Parenthood Action Network campaign for National Condom Week, Feb. 14-21, encouraged supporters to send a condom to Africa in the President's name.
The campaign was launched to counter advice given to the president by conservatives emphasizing abstinence, not more condom use, in the massive African AIDS/HIV campaign announced by the president. The http://www.saveRoe.com web site stated, "President Bush and his extremist allies have launched a war on condoms. Unless you help, millions of men and women will be at risk as a result of the president's anti-condom agenda."
The program encouraged viewers to click on a link that would cause Planned Parenthood to send a condom to Africa in President Bush's name. Clicking on another link provided an opportunity for respondents to make a donation to send more than one condom.
As LifeSite has reported in previous stories, Africans are vastly overloaded with condoms and severely short of basic medicines, other health care, food and other basic survival supplies. As well, massive distribution of condoms across the continent has not appeared to lessen the severity of the epidemic and may in fact have made it far worse.
The African condom campaign has now been replaced on the website with a campaign to block the judicial nomination of legal conservative judge Miguel Estrada who does not believe the constitution could be interpreted to grant a right to abortion.
