He talked politics...

...female condom could occupy a niche market at best, and the government is better off focusing on programs that already exist, not trying to start new ones. PEPFAR, for example, has distributed 133 million male condoms in Uganda in the past five years. (Read "A Brief History of Safe Sex...
