THE FOG ZONE
It's been several months since we released our "Fog Zone" report about the knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of unmarried young men and women (ages 18-29) regarding pregnancy planning, contraception, and relationships. Responses to the findings have been coming in since. (Did we mention that they inspired us to create a website?) A few of our favorite responses (besides our website, of course):
"Baby lust: Not just for the ladies" (Salon: Broadsheet)
"Rubber Barons: Why Doesn’t Your Boyfriend Know Jack About Contraception?" (Washington City Paper, The Sexist)
"The Birth-Control Riddle" (The Wall Street Journal)
"The Pill at 50: Sex, Freedom and Paradox" (TIME)
"Sex and risk among people in their 20s" (Los Angeles Times)
Wanna cut straight to the chase? You can download the report itself, and/or get more information about the study on The National Campaign's website.

Did you know that more than 7 in 10 pregnancies to single women in their 20s are unplanned? Pregnancy shouldn’t be a game of chance. How would you fare if you weren’t taking birth control seriously? Grab the quarter and try to uncover all three √’s without hitting any of the seven X’s. And don’t forget to share the game with your friends – are they any more “careful” than you were?
