Tell Urban Outfitters Not to Pull Condoms From Their Website

Tell Urban Outfitters Not to Pull Condoms From Their Website

The Issue

Proper Attire brand condoms have long been partnered with Planned Parenthood to market condoms to men and women as part of a healthy, stigma-free sex life. But Proper Attire condoms were recently yanked from the online Urban Outfitters catalog just two days after anti-choice protesters began demanding that the company not sell contraceptives on their website. Instead of standing up for the rights of their customers and telling protesters that condoms are a worthwhile purchase, Urban Outfitters immediately backed down.

Tell Urban Outfitters they can stand by their decision to sell Proper Attire condoms in collaboration with Planned Parenthood, or we'll take our business elsewhere.
