Colombian town threatens 'condom fines'

A western Colombian town has come up with a novel way to try and prevent unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted disease.

The new law would see men fined for not carrying condoms. The Herald covered the story and printed this:

Those who fail to show a condom would have to pay a small fine or take a three-hour course in Aids prevention in Tulua, where 14 people died of sexually transmitted diseases last year.

This type of action has run into opposition in the form of the Catholic Church. They compared this to selling guns in the street.

Can't you just see a law like this taking off in New Zealand!
