Update on Urban Outfitters catalog .

From Sandy Sasso

THINK I TOLD YOU ABOUT THIS - HERE'S THE OUTCOME.


Last week's Wednesday STOPP Report brought you the distressing news that Urban Outfitters was selling Planned Parenthood "Proper Attire" condoms on its website, and advertising them to young people as a "safe bet."

The condoms were in the "Toys and Novelties" section of the web catalog.

Only a day after we released the story and asked parents to contact Urban Outfitters and complain, the condoms were pulled from the website.

This protest is a case in point: Retailers should take notice that, if they choose to partner with Planned Parenthood or sell any of Planned Parenthood's products or services, there is a vast network of parents across the country who are ready and willing to protect their children from Planned Parenthood.

These parents want their teens to respect their sexuality and remain sexually abstinent until marriage, and want to do business with companies that support them in encouraging modesty and sexual abstinence until marriage. Parents want to know that they can allow their teens to browse a youth-oriented retailer's website without being exposed to Planned Parenthood's sexually oriented merchandise.

Thanks to all the parents and consumers who made contact with Urban Outfitters, and to the folks at Urban Outfitters who acted swiftly to stop the condom sales.
