I agree, its hard to find studies that are not funded by one side or another on most issues. Governments have their sides in things too. Usually I like studies that come from universities. I certainly am not saying condems are without risk. But I have used them hundreds of times without a problem. Of course, it only takes one time! I just advocate them a lot because I cannot take any form of hormonal birth control, when I was on it, it caused me such terrible problems. Ive seen a lot of women have problems from IUD's {some have no problems of course} and I hate seeing women suffer. Its up to each of us what bc we feel is best. Unfortunately the only 100% is abstinence but damn it thats no fun lol.
