University of Idaho says staff can offer condoms for STDs – not birth control

Memo warns employees they should not speak in support of abortion following state ban on procedure

Condoms should only be provided to students to prevent sexually transmitted infections, not as birth control, according to a memo sent by the University of Idaho to staff last week.

The memo, first obtained by the Idaho Press and issued to all employees on Friday, laid out the university's reproductive policies following the enactment of Idaho's abortion law, which bans the procedure in nearly all cases.
