Rofl what bull****. What parts of the country are free condoms not readily available? Nowhere'sville, Alaska? Placewithoutaname, Alabama?

Hatuey said::rofl - Yes and if this what this money was for then I'd have no problem. But this money is for adding extra funding to programs that don't need anymore funding because they already receive billions annually. There is simply absolutely NO logical reason for this add on. None what so ever. The programs i
So do you support more taxpayer-funded economic aid for those unwanted kids?
