This is unbelievable. Both Fox and CBS have rejected an advertisement for Trojan condoms, specifically because the ad in question suggests condoms can and should be used to prevent unwanted pregnancy:

Both had accepted Trojan’s previous campaign, which urged condom use because of the possibility that a partner might be H.I.V.-positive, perhaps unknowingly. A 2001 report about condom advertising by the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation found that, “Some networks draw a strong line between messages about disease prevention — which may be allowed — and those about pregnancy prevention, which may be considered controversial for religious and moral reasons.”

Representatives for both Fox and CBS confirmed that they had refused the ads, but declined to comment further.

In a written response to Trojan, though, Fox said that it had rejected the spot because, “Contraceptive advertising must stress health-related uses rather than the prevention of pregnancy.”

See? Condoms for disease prevention are fine; but if you’re using them because you want to have a little consequence-free sex, then you’re way out of line.

Amanda at Pandagon nails it:

The networks are cowering because they’re scared to death of anti-choicers writing in and b*tching about the idea that sluts should escape their due punishment for having sex. Make no mistake, this is not about the fetuses. Not even the most crazy anti-choicer can convince himself that condoms kill babies. The idea of preventing unwanted pregnancy—and therefore preventing abortion, actually—is the source of the angst. Once more with feeling: It’s not about the babies, it’s about punishing women for having sex.
