Well...to me, it seems like the only reason that single women would be getting IUDs, would be that they were planning on having sex frequently. I guess it could be a "backup" used with a condom, but if you're going to use the condom every time, why go through the pain/$$ of an IUD? There are other, cheaper methods. I know condoms aren't 100%, but they also aren't 100% against STDs, either. So with the IUD, you're lowering your chance of pregnancy, but raising your chance of an STD. To me, I'd be more worried about AIDS than a baby. With the baby, there's always adoption (I'm against abortion, for the record)...there are no options for AIDS.
