dead babies, condoms, and fishy economics

Low Newborn Survival Rate

Honestly, I think this ties into the whole NYT contraception article (read it here)

And another good reason why...

DC is stupid:
An informal survey found that almost half -- 22 of 50 -- of the District's CVS pharmacies lock up their condoms -- this in a city where one in 20 residents is HIV-positive.

Many CVS stores in the close-in Prince George's County suburbs also lock up condoms.
