It's not a moral judgement. Drs aren't saying that they only use them for women in committed relationships because that's what's morally right - it's a health issue. It's not SAFE for women to be using an IUD and have sex with a man that has any possible risk of an STD. I don't think any Dr is going to outright deny someone who is not in a committed relationship an IUD (short of marriage, it'd be hard to prove anyway), but those women have to know that they are taking a HUGE risk of getting an STD.

Once again:
Pregnancy = options (adoption, etc)
AIDS = dead

Which would you rather have happen to you?
